• Manage and oversee various environmental projects in California, including reviewing dewatering water systems and construction plans.• Review production and monitoring wells with water sampling, constructing well diagrams, cross-sections, logs, and maps.• Interpret geological and geophysical data for clients, preparing technical reports with findings and recommendations.• Assist with research, marketing and networking.

-Constructed Well Diagrams, Cross-sections, Logs and Maps.-Data analysis include water contamination, geochemistry, cross sections, geophysical logs, lithology, isopach maps, mineral exploration, temperature and pressure surveys.-Technical Reports with findings and recommendations to improve water quality and/or yield of the wells.-Performed on-site well diagnostics tests including flow measurements and depth dependent water sampling including PFAS.-Oversaw drilling and monitoring water well installation & exploration projects including logging, well development & pump testing. -Mechincal Assembly and Testing of Submersible Pumps, Packers & Control units.

-Travelled to various oil and gas well projects while staying on site for more than 2weeks and doing 12hr shifts.-Described more than 1000+ rock sample cuttings circulated during the drilling process.-Maintained gas monitoring equipment that collects total gas and gas chromatography information.-Created documents called mud logs both vertical and horizontal which are reported to the customer as a record of the well. - Created Reports and Logs for the Well in realtime. -Mass Spectrometry, X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), or Flame Ionization Detection (FID).

Joined the Chamber testing team of undergraduates and graduate students for performance testing and evaluation of RFID tags and create tag performance requirements for the End User like Walmart, Delta, Amazon, Philips-van Heusen, Target, Home Depot, and Kohls.• Encoded more than 8000+ RFID tags for better organization and testing purposes on Speed Runner Software.• Tested more than 2000+ RFID tags in a controlled (Anechoic Chamber), a benchmark testing facility to check if an inlay is matching published testing standards.• Studied the frequency graphs that were produced on the Tag Performance software and compared to the rest and created reports for the customers.

Alabama Remote Sensing Project | PI, Dr. Chandana Mitra Participated in USGS (United States Geological Survey- Alabama View) funded research on Alabama’s environmental issues to determine how remote sensing applications can help in quantifying or assessing environment, urbanization, and sustainability within the state.• Worked with a team of undergrad and graduate researchers to create scripts, and videography for Alabama View Environmental Awareness Channel on YouTube to increase environmental awareness.•With my time here, I sucessfully produced 6 videos throughout with script writing, data collection and research analysis with Three Poster presentations at Auburn University- Research Symposium, Earth Day and PECORA 22' (Remote Sensing Symposium).

Center Pivot Irrigation in Alabama Project | Pl, Dr. Chaney, Dr. Ellenburg. Participated in the research funded by the ADECA (Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs) to register and collect data on agricultural water use across the state as The Alabama Water Reporting Program may not include all the irrigated land and there is no way of checking to see the accuracy or validity of reported acreage so the goal of the project was to address the lack of data by creating an acreage and irrigation map of center pivot locations across the state of Alabama by using the data from USDA NAIP (National Agricultural Imagery Program).• Data was visually scanned for signs of center pivot irrigation by HUC12 boundary for the state of Alabama within ArcGIS. Once the pivots were located, the circle option in the creature features was drawn to show the pivot.• Some systems may not be a full revolution and were cut to the size and later the total acreage was calculated for each pivot and was compared to the previous years.• With my time in this project, I discovered atleast more than 100+ full and semicircle pivots in the state of Alabama.
