About

I am a PhD Structural and Geotechnical Engineer specializing in deep foundations, pile performance, and advanced interpretation of pile load testing data. My work focuses on technical evaluation, engineering judgement, and reliability assessment of foundation systems. I have particular expertise in reviewing pile behavior, interpreting load test results, and identifying performance inconsistencies in deep foundation projects. My analytical background allows me to provide independent technical assessments grounded in research-based methodology and engineering principles. I develop expert-level technical studies dedicated to forensic analysis, advanced interpretation of foundation data, and professional engineering insight in deep foundation systems. I am interested in collaboration on technically complex cases requiring objective engineering evaluation and high-level professional analysis.
