Civil engineer with 6 years in transportation design at a consulting firm, recently licensed as a professional engineer. Designed 14 roadway and intersection projects worth $86M in construction value, delivered plan sets with a 96% first-submittal approval rate at the state agency, and cut design revision cycles from 4 to 2 on a $22M corridor project. Design measured by what got built and what got approved first time.
Coursework in Transportation Engineering, Hydraulics, Geotechnical Engineering, and Structural Analysis.
Passed the civil transportation examination on first attempt; held engineer in training certification from 2019.
- Design roadway and intersection projects for state and county clients, with 14 projects worth $86M delivered.
- Hold a 96% first-submittal approval rate at the state agency across 24 plan submittals.
- Cut design revision cycles from 4 to 2 on a $22M corridor project by resolving utility conflicts before 60% plans.
- Produced plan sets and quantities on 11 projects under a licensed engineer, from resurfacing to a 4-lane widening.
- Designed drainage for 9 projects, with 0 hydraulic comments returned on the last 6 submittals.
- Prepared cost estimates on $140M of projects, averaging within 6% of low bid.
- Supported construction inspection on 3 active projects worth $30M across a 14-week internship.
- Logged about 400 daily quantity and inspection entries with 0 corrections at audit.
- Reviewed 20 contractor submittals against specifications under a resident engineer.
Corridor Widening. Designed a $22M, 4-lane corridor widening across 3 miles with 6 signalised intersections, and cut revision cycles from 4 to 2 by walking every utility conflict with the owners before the 60% submittal.
Roundabout Conversion. Converted a high-crash 4-way stop to a single-lane roundabout, from concept through construction plans, and the intersection recorded a 71% reduction in injury crashes in its first 2 years.
Drainage Standard. Built the firm drainage design checklist against state criteria after 3 projects received the same hydraulic comments, and the last 6 submittals came back with 0.
- Serve on the committee of a regional civil engineers society branch with about 200 members.
- Volunteer engineer for a community trail project, designing 2 miles of path and 3 crossings.
- Mentor 3 engineering students a year through a university outreach programme.
- Lead design on projects with teams of up to 5 engineers and technicians.
- Supervise 2 engineers in training and review their plan work before every submittal.
- Built the drainage checklist now used across a transportation group of 14.
