About

I am a Civil and Structural Engineer with over four years of professional experience in structural design, stormwater management, civil engineering design, technical analysis and project coordination. I have worked on engineering projects across the United States, providing practical, accurate and cost-effective solutions that meet relevant design standards.

My experience includes structural design for over 150 single-family residential buildings, 30 multi-family developments and 10 commercial projects. I have also completed stormwater drainage analysis for more than 40 projects, alongside site grading, hydrological assessments, traffic impact studies and engineering reports.

I hold a First Class Honours degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and an Erasmus Mundus Master's degree in Risk Assessment and Management of Civil Infrastructures from the University of Minho, Portugal, and the University of Padua, Italy.

I am proficient in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Tekla Tedds, Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis, EPA SWMM, Bluebeam and Microsoft Excel. My strengths include engineering problem-solving, technical documentation, quantitative analysis, research and attention to detail.

Beyond engineering design, I have experience in project management, technical reporting and professional training, having trained over 15 graduate engineers.

I am committed to delivering reliable, well-researched and professionally presented work, maintaining clear communication with clients and meeting agreed deadlines.

Education

University of Minho and University of Padua Master of Science (MSc), Risk Assessment and Management of Civil Infrastructures, 17/20 2025 – 2026 Activities and Societies: Erasmus Mundus NORISK Joint Master's Programme; Participation in the European Safety and Reliability Conference (ESREL 2026), Braga, Portugal; Academic Research in Infrastructure Risk Assessment, Resilience and Nature-Based Solutions. Completed an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's degree in Risk Assessment and Management of Civil Infrastructures at the University of Minho, Portugal, and the University of Padua, Italy, graduating with a final grade of 17/20.

My studies focused on infrastructure risk assessment, structural reliability, multi-hazard analysis, resilience-based planning, decision-support systems and sustainable infrastructure development.

My Master's thesis, titled "Risk and Resilience Assessment of Critical Infrastructures in the Event of Extreme Weather Events: A Methodological Framework Accounting for the Implementation of Nature-Based Solutions," examined approaches to assessing infrastructure risks and improving resilience through nature-based solutions.

I also presented my research on quantifying the contributions of nature-based solutions to infrastructure risk reduction and resilience at ESREL 2026 in Braga, Portugal.

Other experience

Engineering Training and Mentorship Trained and mentored over 15 graduate engineering interns at Jilcon Engineering Services Ltd, providing practical guidance in structural engineering design, engineering calculations, technical drawings and professional engineering practices.

Supported the development of technical competence, problem-solving skills and understanding of engineering design standards.
