I am a Professional Civil Engineer with a passion for high-end landscape transformation. I specialize in a "ground-up" approach—where technical engineering excellence meets creative architectural vision. My mission is to solve the complex structural and hydrological challenges of a site while simultaneously crafting an aesthetic "living sanctuary" for my clients.
With a career spanning residential apartment complexes, luxury estates, and intricate outdoor renovations, I bring a holistic perspective to every project. I don't just design how a space looks; I engineer how it breathes, drains, and stands the test of time.
Core Areas of Expertise
1. Landscape Design & "Outdoor Sanctuaries" I transform underutilized backyards and front yards into premium living spaces. My designs prioritize flow, privacy, and harmony with nature.
Residential Paradises: Custom patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pit lounges, and pergolas.
Softscape & Hardscape: Selection of sustainable vegetation paired with durable, high-end stone and wood work.
Lighting & Ambiance: Integrated lighting plans to extend the usability of the sanctuary into the night.
2. Civil Engineering & Earthworks I provide the essential technical foundation that ensures a project's longevity.
Precision Leveling & Grading: Solving uneven terrain issues to create functional flat zones for construction or recreation.
Earthworks Optimization: Expert cut-and-fill calculations to minimize soil transport costs and maximize site efficiency.
Erosion Control: Designing resilient solutions for sloped properties and unstable soil conditions.
3. Hydrology & Waterproofing Solutions Water management is the most critical aspect of any civil project. I specialize in keeping structures dry and land usable.
Advanced Drainage Systems: French drains, catch basins, and swale designs that prevent pooling and foundation damage.
Structural Waterproofing: Expert specifications for basement and retaining wall waterproofing to protect your investment.
Stormwater Management: Designing eco-friendly runoff solutions that comply with local environmental regulations.
4. Structural Analysis & Urban Living My experience extends into the vertical world of residential living.
Residential Apartments: Structural planning and site layout for multi-family dwellings.
Luxury Home Foundations: Engineering robust footings for high-value architectural masterpieces.
Retaining Walls: Designing gravity, cantilever, and anchored walls that turn steep hills into usable tiers.
Software Mastery
I utilize industry-leading technology to provide clear, construction-ready deliverables:
Civil 3D & AutoCAD: For technical blueprints, topographical surveys, and grading plans.
SketchUp & Lumion: To provide you with stunning, photorealistic 3D walkthroughs of your design before a single shovel hits the ground.
Revit (BIM): For seamless integration between structural engineering and architectural design.
SAP2000 / ETABS: For rigorous structural stress tests and load calculations.
Project Highlights & Accomplishments
Luxury Residential Estates: Lead engineer for multiple $2M+ home sites, managing everything from the initial land survey to the final "sanctuary" garden installation.
Multi-Unit Apartment Complexes: Developed comprehensive site civil plans for urban residential buildings, focusing on optimized parking lot drainage and structural integrity.
The "Sloped Site" Specialist: Successfully reclaimed over 5,000 sq. ft. of previously unusable "cliff-side" land for a client by engineering a tiered retaining wall and drainage system.
Waterproofing Rescue: Redesigned the failed drainage system of a luxury basement, implementing a permanent waterproofing solution that saved the structure from mold and decay.
Front Yard Curb-Appeal Overhauls: Transformed dozens of standard front yards into modern, drought-resistant landscapes that increased property valuations by an average of 15-20%.
