I’m a structural and civil engineering professional with nearly a decade of experience supporting and leading large-scale infrastructure and heavy civil projects across the U.S. I specialize in structural design, bridge engineering, and field-driven design updates — currently serving as Lead Operational Design Engineer on the $2B Fargo-Moorhead Area Diversion Project with ASN Constructors.My experience spans structural analysis, QA/QC, load ratings, stakeholder coordination, and construction-phase design support. I\'m passionate about integrating data and automation to improve documentation workflows, minimize field delays, and drive quality outcomes.As a PhD candidate, my research explores the intersection of construction management, data science, and engineering decision-making — with an emphasis on improving project delivery strategies for large-scale infrastructure developments.I bring a unique blend of technical knowledge, systems thinking, and real-world construction insight to every project I touch.
