• 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.• Led and scheduled a 30% design review meeting to discuss project progress.• Developed traffic detour layouts for construction projects.• Assisted Senior Engineers as needed with various design tasks and bridge site visits.

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 photos to be used on bridge maintenance plan sheets.• 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 and Hydraulics, DES 820 Hydrologic Analysis and Design with WMS Software and more.

• 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 strength to withstand applied forces.• Achieved client satisfaction through the design and delivery process through proactive communication and conducting frequent design reviews

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 ball screw motors) for applications required to measure 3D water velocity data.• 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 version was released.• Increased proficiency with SQL servers, C# programming, HTML, XML
