As a dedicated and results-driven traffic engineer, I specialize in optimizing transportation systems to enhance efficiency, safety and sustainability. I bring a deep understanding of traffic flow dynamics, traffic signal optimization, and innovative solutions for urban, suburban and rural mobility challenges. Passionate about leveraging technology for smart transportation networks, I stay on the forefront of advancements in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and integrate data-driven insights into my engineering approach. I have shown national leadership in advanced mobility solutions. A few examples of my track record include:-LeadershipITE: Class of 2021-Participation in Every Day Counts, Round 4, 5 & 6 (EDC-4, EDC-5 & EDC-6), including the Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPM) initiative and the Crowdsourcing for Advancing Operations initiative. My participation includes national webinars, peer exchanges and agency support. -Leading the way in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) through the Lake County PASSAGE program and Montgomery County ATMS program, which incorporates many different technologies in innovative ways to improve traffic operations.-Leadership in helping other local agencies that do not have the knowledge or technology with various traffic operations applications.-Innovation in traffic signal operations, including adaptive arterial operations for the biggest project in WisDOT history (Zoo Interchange reconstruction project), implementing the first traffic demand and queue length driven flashing yellow arrow left turn operation in Wisconsin, and new customized traffic signal controller logic to meet unique traffic trends. Outside of engineering, I enjoy spending time with my family (including twin toddlers), enjoying sporting events, more specifically golf, basketball, soccer and football. I also enjoy traveling and presenting in different cities to gain different perspectives on improving traffic operations.I enjoy meeting new people and hearing new perspectives.
