My Story
Growing up, I moved across the US from one construction project to another. Soccer was my passion and it was my main focus going in to highschool. During high school, I developed a passion for problem solving, learning, and challenging myself. Civil Engineering piqued my interest as it would expand my problem-solving capabilities and involve the construction industry that I grew up in.
At the age of 16, I graduated highschool early to begin attending the University of Texas at Austin(UT). In college, I played on UT Men's Club Soccer Team, became the Vice President of the Club and helped the team get to 2nd place at the National Championship.
In college, I focused hard on designing civil engineering systems, working on coding projects and devloping investment strategies. Also, I had multiple internships in the construction industry where I was able to learn a lot about construction management, building infrustructure, civil engineering design and effective communication.
After college I began working with Kiewit Foundations Co. on a water treatment facility for Samsung's Semichip Conductor facility in Taylor, Texas. We drilled 3,967 24" ACIP piles 60-70' deep, where I managed materials, surveying, cost/quantity tracking and quality as a Field Engineer.
After completing the ACIP piles, I began working on a 9,414 ft long discharge pipeline for this water treatment facility. The pipeline was 48" RCP 20-28' deep in the ground. I planned/tracked the work as a Lead Engineer and worked as a Foreman in the field to get the work completed. I am currently working on completing this Discharge Pipeline.
Outside of Kiewit, I am working on many different software projects and have created an investing group that is working on different projects and meets weekly to discuss investments. My career will be dedicated to effective contributions to society. From building critical infrustucure to building innovative software technologies, I am dedicated to making lasting impacts on society that push our capabilities, inspire others and bring prosperity and hapiness to others.

My Projects
Task AI Program
This is a python application that utilizes pynput to track what a user is doing on their computer. Then it stores the task inside of a MongoDB Database. Then another python script runs and takes as an input what task the user wants completed, searches the database and then performs the task. Built out a test program to test functionalities of all python functions. Currently building out the ability for the program to adjust to different conditions and still be able to perform the task required.
- Built - Jan 2024 - Current
- Technologies - Python, MongoDB, GitHub
Masks Website
This is a web application for a ski mask product that allows them to sell their product. Client designed the UI and I made it a reality and functional for them.

Design: Trench Box System
For a 30' deep excavation. I worked with United Rentals Trench Design team to come up with a safe way to install 48" RCP that allowed for the most productivity for the construction team. I made the system selection of trench box and made sizing decisions for trench boxes. Worked in field to ensure TSCD design was followed and working effectively to keep the workers safe.

Design: Buildings Beam and Columns
For my Reinforced Concrete Design course, we had to design the columns and beams of a six story building. See attached report and calculations.

Design: Zilker Park Shared Use Path
For my capstone project at UT, the City of Austin tasked me along with three other civil engineers to propose a safe route for pedestrians and cyclists in the middle of Austin's staple park, Zilker Park. We worked over the course of a sixth month period to create the proposal that is linked below. I focused on the paths design and modelling of the path. I also helped perform grade analysis, checked ADA compliance and took many site measurements.
- Completed - May 2022

Design: Reverse Engineering a Can Opener
A can opener was broken apart modelled using Autodesk Inventor and then analyzed for improvements. We noticed a plastic bearing part was weak and put the system at risk of failure under high but not unusual loads. We suggesting changing the material type for this bearing to stainless steel as it will go along with the other parts and be able to withstand the forces.
- Completed - Dec 2019
- Methdos used - AutoDesk Inventor and FEA analysis.
Build: Discharge Pipeline
I worked as a the Lead Field Engineer to plan the installation of a Discharge Pipeline on Blue Sky WRF, a $1BN water reclamation facility for Samsung Austin Semiconductor in Taylor, Texas. The Discharge Pipeline consisted of 9016' of 48" RCP and 398' of 30" RCP. Along with 32 manholes and a headwall structure. The average depth of the RCP was 21' deep with a major section of the pipeline deeper than 25'. This required significant shoring planning and dirt management. I planned the work, equipment, suppliers, schedule and Inspection and Testing Plan. After getting two headings up and running and shifted into a foreman role to help get the work completed in the field. We averaged 72' of RCP installed each day.

Build: ACIP Piles
I worked as an engineer on Blue Sky WRF, a $1BN water reclamation facility for Samsung Austin Semiconductor in Taylor, Texas. I was the field engineer on the team that installed 3,967 Auger Cast in Place Piles ranging from 60-80' deep. We peaked at 5 drill rigs running at the same time. I focused on tracking, reporting, coordinating and planning the installation of these piles. I ordered and invoinced grout, managed a rebar sub, layed out/as built pile, tracked crews performance, schedule and cost. We averaged 10 pile a day with our smaller drill rigs and 16 pile a day with our larger drill rigs.
