About

As an aspiring Project Manager regarding the design, construction, operations, and maintenance of the nation’s infrastructure, my ambition is to shift the scales of car centric development through sustainable infrastructure projects where human and machine can harmoniously coexist. I will spearhead the widespread adaptation of bike - able and walkable urban metropolises throughout the country, along with my true passion and motive, efficient and cost - effective nationwide high speed rail. The prime directive of our industry must be the creation of environmentally friendly and energy efficient avenues of transportation to sustainably drive the perpetual expansion of our civilization. I desire to actuate the implementation of technologies that will transform the way we analyze and interpret infrastructure projects, be it through enhanced cost control in the estimating and value engineering phases, more comprehensive data collection driving unseen system optimization during the operational phase, or through usage of remote technologies such as augmented reality allowing all stakeholders to have a lasting impact 5 feet or 5000 miles from the project. As a Mechanical Engineer, I believe I've been gifted with a talent allowing me to create changes I'd like to see all over the world. I am always trying to find and conceptualize technology with a mantra of creating the greater good for humankind while maintaining the longevity of our environment.
