Blacksburg, Va

A lot of firsts - My first brush with the federal bureaucracy, my first time using foot-pounds (vs meter-kilograms), my first published research paper in the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Ahmedabad Area, India

Buttoned-up, learnt the ways of being professional and assisted the CEO with everything from getting coffee to reading contracts to sizing P6 gannt charts.
