About

I am a Civil and Highway Design Engineer with approximately 9 years of experience in roadway and transportation engineering across the United States and the United Kingdom. I hold a PhD in Civil Engineering and a Professional Engineer (PE) licence in Texas, USA.

I have over 5 years of professional experience working on roadway design projects in Florida, including DOT-related projects, and currently work as a Highways Project Engineer in the UK.

My key areas of expertise include:

- Roadway and highway geometric design
- Horizontal and vertical alignments, profiles, and cross sections
- Intersection and roundabout design
- Roadway plan production and CAD drafting
- Signing and pavement marking plans
- Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) and traffic control plans
- Roadway drainage and utility coordination
- ADA accessibility improvements
- CAD drawing revisions based on engineering markups and redlines
- Drawing quality control and design documentation

I am proficient in MicroStation and AutoCAD, with extensive experience preparing and revising engineering drawings for roadway projects.

I can support engineering consultants and design teams with roadway design, CAD production, plan revisions, and project deliverables.

I am available for remote freelance and part-time projects, including both short-term assignments and ongoing engineering support.
