I am a Project Controls professional specializing in cost management, scheduling, and claims analysis for large capital and infrastructure projects. I have extensive experience managing the full financial lifecycle, including budgeting, forecasting, cost reporting, and contract and pay application reviews. My work integrates cost and schedule data to deliver clear insights into project performance, risks, delays, and financial impacts, supporting informed decision-making and dispute resolution. I have supported claims and dispute matters through forensic analysis, as-planned vs. as-built reviews, critical path assessments, and preparation of findings for stakeholders. My background also includes developing project controls dashboards, improving workflows, and supporting PMO functions across complex programs, including large-scale tech and infrastructure environments.With experience in Primavera P6, Power BI, CostX, RS Means and financial analysis tools, I am focused on roles that leverage my strengths in cost control, schedule analytics, and claims evaluation to improve project outcomes and support strategic decision making.
