Provide residential and commercial structural engineering services in the Bay Area. Projects span the gamut from new to existing structures, including restorations, remodels, and additions. Services include:- Providing designs to satisfy current building codes, including IBC, NDS, ACI, AISC, and ASCE. - Drafting a full set of structural plans and details for building permit submittal. - Providing a complete set of structural calculations for plan check review. - Consulting during construction phase of projects. - Performing structural observations and special inspections.

Create existing, proposed, and cut-fill surfaces and draft grading plans in AutoCAD Civil 3D for multiple river restoration projects and pond and culvert installations. Drawings include site plans, profiles, sections, planting plans, and details.Draft parcel plot plans in AutoCAD Civil 3D and ArcGIS for multiple private landowners in Humboldt County.Perform hydrological flow calculations and size culverts for various public and private road assessment projects.Model restoration project reaches in HEC-RAS, using USGS StreamStats data and CAD channel cross-section geometry, to determine channel velocity and shear values. Draft basis of design reports for permitting of aquatic habitat enhancement treatments and river restoration projects, including the design of large woody debris structures.Draft tech memos, soils reports, and water resource protection plans for private cultivation and road assessment projects in Humboldt County.Analyze annual monitoring data and draft an extensive monitoring report to evaluate the impact of gravel mining and report on trends of sediment storage in the Russian River.Develop a calculator to determine the total anchorage necessary to stabilize in-channel large woody debris structures. Professional development training in Esri ArcGIS.

Management and design of new and existing residential and public structures to satisfy current building codes. Projects included new construction, restorations, and remodels/ additions. Designed and analyzed wood, steel, and concrete/CMU structures using the latest IBC, NDS, ACI, AISC, and ASCE codes. Drafted structural plans and details in AutoCAD. Analyzed structures under gravity, soil, and lateral loads, including wind and seismic, and compiled a complete set of structural calculations for plan check review. Provided consultation during construction phase of projects. Performed structural observations and special inspections. Streamlined design process using MathCAD and Excel spreadsheets.

Drafted site, grading, recreational and planting plans and details for multiple, river-restoration, fish-passage, and dam-removal projects in AutoCAD Civil 3D.Created existing three-dimensional topographical models in AutoCAD Civil 3D, graded models to create proposed conditions, and cut cross-sections at designated river stations to increase the accuracy of HEC-RAS/ hydraulic modeling. Data sources included LIDAR and survey points collected at different times and by different organizations in multiple data formats. Performed cut/fill earthwork calculations in Excel and Civil 3D.

Assembled and tested electrical and mechanical hardware of embedded biotech prototype system for pharmaceutical R&D.Drafted technical reports on experimentation of mechanical systems, real-time data analysis, and future design suggestions.Through-hole and surface-mount soldering and electronic cable assembly.

Researched hydrological principles of dam removal and the impact on local, diadromous fish species.Used HEC-RAS to model existing and post-dam removal conditions at Kenyon Industries Dam, Pawcatuck River, RI.Collected soil samples and ran grain-size and bulk-density analyses at URI Soils Lab.Presented research findings and predictions in a technical paper and PowerPoint presentation at a symposium in Silver Spring MD, NOAA headquarters.
