About
I'm a civil engineer (EIT) with 11 years of geotechnical engineering experience and deep daily-use expertise in AutoCAD Civil 3D. I've produced grading plans, surfaces, alignments, geologic profiles, corridors, and earthwork quantity takeoffs for real permitted projects, and I turn survey field data into clean, accurate plan sets with limited direction.
Most recently I spent seven years at Tetra Tech as a Senior Project Manager, running a $2.5M/year operation with soil lab. Before that: geotechnical engineering at AECOM (including dam grouting QA in Iraq) and Brierley Associates.
I work fast, communicate clearly, and deliver plan sets that are actually buildable. Available for part-time contract and project-based drafting work.
