About
I am a Civil 3D and CAD specialist with over 25 years of experience in topographic mapping, digital terrain modeling, and civil infrastructure documentation. For the past 7+ years I have been working fully remotely, delivering accurate and construction-ready CAD deliverables for infrastructure projects.
My core expertise includes detailed topographic plans, DTM/TIN surface modeling, grading design, earthwork volume calculations, and longitudinal profiles. I have strong experience processing survey data and preparing high-quality documentation in Autodesk Civil 3D.
I combine a solid background in field surveying with advanced office-based skills in Civil 3D. This allows me to understand both the practical side of data collection and the requirements for clear, accurate deliverables. I am comfortable working independently in a remote environment and maintaining effective communication with engineering teams.
I am looking for remote freelance opportunities where I can support companies and project teams with reliable Civil 3D work on topographic, grading, and infrastructure projects.
