About

Senior Civil Engineer | Project Management & Technical Due Diligence Specialist

With over 20 years of professional experience in the engineering and construction sectors, I specialize in delivering high-stakes site development and infrastructure solutions. Having successfully managed complex projects in both the Gulf region and across the United States, I bring a unique blend of global project management rigor and localized expertise in U.S. building codes, zoning regulations, and regulatory compliance.

My Core Expertise:

Site Development & Feasibility: Expert in pre-acquisition due diligence, including grading analysis, stormwater drainage, utility capacity screening, and topographic assessment (LIDAR).

Structural & MEP Coordination: Highly proficient in foundation design, roof framing, shear wall scheduling, and comprehensive MEP documentation (load calculations, plumbing risers, and HVAC scheduling).

Technical Proficiency: Advanced user of AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit, Primavera P6, and GIS tools. I specialize in turning raw data into client-ready, stamped-ready exhibits and constraint maps.

Regulatory & Compliance: Proven track record in navigating FEMA floodplain amendments, R-4/R-2 zoning compliance, construction vibration analysis, and commercial permit resubmittals in jurisdictions from California to Oklahoma.

Why Work With Me:
I operate as a dedicated expert who prioritizes precision, clear communication, and rapid turnaround times. Whether you need a comprehensive feasibility study, an amendment to an existing plan, or a full-package submittal for a residential or utility-scale project, I provide the technical depth of a firm with the personalized, direct service of a single-point expert.

I don’t just draw plans; I solve technical roadblocks before they become project-killers. I am committed to producing work that is not only code-compliant but also optimized for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Let’s discuss your project requirements today.
