   I am currently serving as Project Manager for the Interstate 30/State Highway 360 interchange project. This project replaces the existing cloverleaf turnpike configuration with a modern direct connect interchange. The $236 million project was one of the largest roadway projects in Texas at the time of letting. The improvements to the area aim to increase safety, connectivity, and mobility for motorists.As a consultant to TxDOT, I manage a team of inspectors and support staff in our Construction Engineering and Inspection (CE & I) division. My responsibilities range from supporting the inspection staff to managing day-to-day challenges in the field. I work with the contractor to progress work on the project and identify areas of deficiency. In this role I also mitigate and review various inefficiency, escalation, and damage claims from the contractor and subs with the help of detailed field records. I create budgets and cost estimates, process invoices, as well as remotely manage CE & I teams in other areas of Texas.
