About
Civil and environmental engineer (EIT) at Jacobs in Sacramento, on remediation, landfill and Superfund projects across California: from pre-design investigation and field leadership to construction quality assurance and regulatory reporting. I also build the software my field teams use.
Most of my days split between two places. On site: sampling grids, XRF readings, groundwater and landfill-gas rounds. At the desk: turning that data into reports a regulator can rely on, and writing small programs when the same problem keeps costing the team time.
