Topeka, Kansas, United States
Civil Engineer with MS from Missouri S&T and field experience in heavy civil construction. Currently at Kansas Department of Transportation managing quality control testing and field operations on a $240M interstate bridge reconstruction. My work focuses on bridge and highway construction—quantity tracking, materials testing, concrete operations, and contractor coordination. I've managed 215 micropile installations, conducted 450+ quality control tests across 35 highway projects, and prepared quantity pay estimates for major infrastructure work. EXPERIENCE HIGHLIGHTS: - I-70 Polk Quincy Viaduct: $240M bridge reconstruction with micropile foundations, drilled shafts, and bridge superstructure - Topeka Boulevard Interchange: 4,800 LF asphalt paving and concrete ramp construction - Materials testing: DSR, BBR, ASTM C666, nuclear density gauge for QA/QC compliance TECHNICAL SKILLS: Software: AutoCAD, OpenRoads Designer, MicroStation, Revit, ProjectWise, Bluebeam Construction: Deep foundations (micropiles, drilled shafts), concrete and asphalt operations, quantity measurement, cost estimating Testing: AASHTO/ASTM standards, materials testing (soil, aggregate, asphalt, concrete), quality control CERTIFICATIONS: - OSHA 30-Hour Construction Safety - American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED (Valid April 2028)
• Directed field compliance and contractor execution across 35+ active highway projects, enforcing equipment standards, construction signing, EEO procedures, and prevailing wage requirements per KDOT contract specifications — ensuring zero non-compliance findings across all active project sites. • Oversaw 215 micropile installations (18-inch diameter, 60-foot depths) and managed placement of 3,200 CY of concrete for drilled shaft foundations and bridge superstructure on the $240M I-70 Polk Quincy Viaduct reconstruction; prepared monthly quantity pay estimates and contractor payment vouchers. • Executed 450+ materials and QA/QC tests (DSR, BBR, ASTM C666, nuclear density gauge) on concrete, asphalt, aggregate, and soils; reviewed adequacy of material sources and distribution; maintained field books substantiating all plan quantities and delivered inspection reports to engineers and contractors. • Generated periodic and final project reports including weekly contractor reports and pile driving logs; coordinated with Construction Managers, Utility Coordinators, and surveyors to maintain operational sequence; reviewed submittals and supported schedule updates using AutoCAD and OpenRoads Designer with plan and specification review.
• Executed quantity takeoffs and cost estimates for $5M+ infrastructure projects; developed material schedules and budget documentation for construction planning. • Performed topographic surveys and processed field data to generate site plans supporting active construction operations. Assisted graduate research on bituminous materials characterization using DSR, BBR, and rotational viscometer per AASHTO standards; compiled test data and supported analysis of binder performance properties.
• Led daily inspections on a $2M residential project tracking 85 milestones; coordinated subcontractors across concrete, masonry, MEP, and finishing works; authored weekly progress reports and resolved on-site conflicts to sustain schedule.
