Work Experience

  • CDM Smith, Inc. : ( 05/03/2018 - Present )
    • Senior Geotechnical Engineer

    • Responsible for preparing geotechnical data and interpretive reports, analysis and design of foundation elements, and performing finite-element and finite-difference modeling of excavations and constructed facilities.
  • AKRF, Inc. : ( 19/01/2016 - 22/02/2018 )
    • Technical Director

    • Prepared proposals and geotechnical data and interpretive reports. Performed analysis and design of foundation elements and elements of support-of-excavation systems. Performed site-specific seismic studies and modeling of constructed facilities using finite-element software.
  • Langan : ( 08/09/2008 - 08/01/2016 )
    • Senior Staff Engineer

    • Performed geotechnical calculations and analyses related to support-of-excavation systems, shallow foundations, deep foundations, and stability of slopes. Designed diaphragm (slurry) walls and pile-support reinforced concrete slabs. Used the finite-element based PLAXIS 2D and 3D in geotechnical modeling of excavations and constructed facilities. Drafted geotechnical interpretive reports.
  • GZA GeoEnvironemental of New York : ( 06/05/2002 - 22/08/2008 )
    • Assistant Project Manager

    • Performed geotechnical calculations and analyses related to shallow foundations, deep foundations (drilled shafts, driven piles, micropiles, etc.) , soil-slope stability, rock mass stability, seepage, and ground-improvement. Designed deep foundation elements. Supervised ground-vibration monitoring work and used automated total station to monitor buildings near deep excavations in an urban setting. Provided estimates of soil and rock parameters for dynamic analysis of foundations supporting turbines and electric-power generators. Supervised site-exploration and in situ testing and drafted geotechnical interpretive reports.
