I am a Professional Engineer with over twenty years of civil engineering experience, with design experience in sustainable site design, water resources, GIS, municipal and transportation engineering. Although my engineering experience is generally diverse, my primary focus and passion has been towards urban greening, community resilience, and environmental sustainability. I am an active proponent of low-impact and green infrastructure design practices, and have been fortunate in my career to be involved in projects that included rain gardens, green roofs, porous pavement, and ecological wetlands. I also work regularly with a wide range of non-profits around the Pittsburgh region on various green infrastructure initiatives, related to planning, policy and implementation. I have been actively involved with 3 Rivers Wet Weather and the Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC) as a member of the Green Infrastructure Network and am presently planning a large-scale green infrastructure design charrette in the South Side neighborhood of Pittsburgh, scheduled for March 2014. As a Board member of Allegheny Land Trust, I am similarly promoting green infrastructure initiatives, meeting regularly with community leaders and land banking experts as part of our Urban Greening Committee.As a sidenote to my engineering career, I am also proficient in computer science, artificial intelligence, sensor, robotics and various other innovative technologies. Eventually, my interests led me to pursue my Master’s degree in Advanced Infrastructure Systems at Carnegie Mellon University.
