Fort Collins, Colorado Area

Geotechnical engineer serving clients primarily in the oil and gas and mining sectors. Specific geotechnical engineering and design competencies included geotechnical and geophysical investigations, geotechnical modeling for stability, seepage, and unsaturated flow, SEO, USACE and mine closure geotechnical design reports, mine feasibility estimating and planning, permitting, and geotechnical laboratory testing. Specific geostructural design capabilities include shallow and deep foundation design, design of various shoring and earth retention structures including MSE, secant pile, cantilever and gravity retaining walls, and finite element structural analysis.

Engineering internship while pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees at Colorado State University. Developed extensive laboratory testing experience according to ASTM standards, created and edited geotechnical and geotechnical laboratory reports, participated in various field work assignments including continuous core drilling, moisture content dry density measurements using a nuclear desometer, and GPS surveying, gained proposal and report compiling and editing experience, and used basic Slope/W and Seep/W modeling software in support of geotechnical related projects.

Large scale field consolidation testing, varying scale laboratory consolidation testing, and large scale triaxial testing on expansive soil rubber (ESR) mixtures. In general, studying the effects and scalability of rubber size, rubber content content and specimen size on strength and compressibility of ESR mixtures.
