Waco, Texas, United States

• Acted as Lead Design for Bridge class culvert replacements on FM 1243.
• Conducted hydrologic analysis for road culverts using WMS software.
• Utilized OpenRoads Designer (ORD) for design work (roadway corridors, incorporating existing terrain data and vertical geometry).
• Utilized HY-8 and HEC-RAS models to analyze proposed culvert geometries to meet flood event criteria.
• Ensured compliance with TXDOT design standards and ROW, including ditch slopes, Metal Beam Guard Fence (MBGF) requirements, and roadway widening etc.
• Assembled 30% plan set sheets, including Bridge Layouts, Plan & Profile, H&H, and typical sections, etc.

Waco, Texas, United States

• Lead design work on Bridge class culvert replacements on FM 1243.
• Redrew a multitude old engineering bridge drawings (plan/elevation view layouts from as-builts) in MicroStation CONNECT (CAD software for civil design) to be used for future Bridge Preventative Maintenance Projects.
• Performed bridge site visits to evaluate condition and identify any repairs/maintenance necessary for future projects (concrete structure repair, scour, cleaning/sealing joints, etc.). Recorded bridge conditions with.
• Reviewed and evaluated qualifications of several engineering firms to be selected for work authorizations of off-system bridge replacement projects.
• Reviewed Follow Up Actions (FUA’s) on Bluebeam Revu and made necessary design/annotation revisions.
• Completed a multitude of trainings relevant to civil design/engineering/transportation including: DES 750 OpenRoads Designer for Plan Development, TRF 502 Design Work Zone Traffic Control Plans, DES 601 Basic Hydrology.

• Worked on a team of four engineers to design and develop a first iteration isometric muscle strength testing device. Our team completed the project on time and within our client’s budget.
• Constructed device capable of continuously measuring and recording a patient’s strength data. The device is capable of accurately measuring force up to 100 lbf with margin of error within +/- 1-lbf
• Utilized Arduino IDE, C programming, analog to digital converter, and a load cell sensor to measure and display forces exerted by the patient
• Resolved system issues while improving its electrical design by incorporating an automatic tare function and new conditional statements for increased consistency and accuracy in patient’s strength data
• Improved electrical design by using a proto shield to save space and create a more compact and robust design
• Utilized SolidWorks, 3D printing and 80/20 metal parts during mechanical design. These software and design tools allowed for rapid prototyping, ease of design customization for future teams, and achieving sufficient.

Seattle, Washington, United States

• Designed, built, and tested a new support frame that achieved 90% reduction of vibrations for an ADV (Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter). The new support frame also allowed for YZ traversing capability (driven by stepper.
• Constructed the support frame using 80/20 t-slot framing and hardware along with custom machined parts that allowed for a flexible and efficient design.
• Used MATLAB for stepper ball screw motor control to change positioning of the ADV.
• Used various machining processes to fabricate custom parts necessary for support frame.
• Completed a range of simultaneous job tasks to support and achieve the professor's academic, research and operational needs.

Bellevue, Washington, United States

• Worked in multiple departments (cashiering, frozen, deli, produce)
• Established and demonstrated a solid reputation for meeting demands and performing in fast-paced, retail environment.
• Worked flexible schedule and extra shifts to meet business needs and to help fund my education.

Redmond, Washington, United States

• Created a SQL file using C# programming to update records in a database. Records were updated based on file creation date of numerous files in multiple folders so that company administrators can see when a software.
• Increased proficiency with SQL servers, C# programming, HTML, XML
