I have over 10 years of experience with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and over 20 years in private sector, where I served as Project engineer for major projects involving freeways and HOV lanes, as well as leading one of the DBE companies. My work includes route analysis; hydraulics; hydrology design and analysis; culvert design and analysis; overall drainage design; design of storm sewers; signing and pavement markings; preliminary and final geometric plans; preparation of final plans; specifications and estimates; and light rail design, including design of ballast walls, retaining walls, drainage, grading, and profiles. I completed numerous quality control reviews of the plans and specifications prepared by the area offices, while employed at TxDOT and throughout my career in private sector. EXPERIENCE

2015 –2021

PRESIDENT/OWNER, M. VASSIGH & ASSOCIATES, INC. (MV&A) As the owner, president, and senior engineer, I oversaw staff hiring, training, business development, marketing, payroll, project management, scheduling, coordination with clients, and project deliveries.

The following are some of my projects, where I served as the project manager: SM Wright, Dallas Texas- Sub to EJES

MV&A was responsible for the signing, pavement marking, and existing sign analysis and inventory of this 1.5-mile-long TxDOT highway. This project consisted of converting the existing highway to an at-grade parkway. I was responsible for the design and plan preparations for large signs layout and details, small signs layout and pavement markings. This project is currently under construction. I used MUTCD and TxDOT sign manual, along with SignCAD software to complete this project. IH35 Frontage roads replacement, Cotulla, Texas- sub to Dannenbaum Engineering Corporation I was the on-call engineer for drainage design of this project. The scope of the project was to replace pavement on the frontage roads for 2.1 miles, from the BI-35 interchange to Nueces River. One of the objectives of the design was to alleviate the flooding on a few areas within the limits of this project. The following tasks were completed under my supervision: identification and analysis of the existing structures, drainage area calculations, hydraulic calculations for flow determinations, existing culvert analysis, existing inlets and pipes analysis, analysis of the existing ditches, and determination of the need to replace or increase the capacity of the existing structures. After all the calculations were completed, based on my recommendation, few culverts were extended, and by adding barrels, the capacities were increased in several culverts. I analyzed over 35 existing ditches and revised the geometries to increase the capacities. I used TxDOT hydraulic and my personally created spreadsheet to calculate the hydraulics for these ditches and used GEOPAK to draw all the profiles and alignments.

Mountain View College - DCCCD - Prime

I was the project manager for this project overseeing the pavement replacement of two parking lots and realignment of the Mountain View Road, which connected the street to all the buildings within the campus. Our role as the prime consultant included the design and preparation of the plans, preparation of the specifications book, quantities, and assisting the engineering department at the Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD) with bid opening and the construction phase. All existing drainage structures were identified and analyzed for the capacity. The existing number of handicapped parking spaces were modified to accommodate the client’s request. All the signing and pavement markings were designed according to TxDOT and DCCCCD (Dallas County Community College District) requirements and standards. This project was completed in 2018. North Lake College Drainage Improvements- DCCCD - Prime I was the project manager for this project for Drainage improvements and addition of sidewalks at North Lake College campus. This project included four sidewalks. Two proposed in new locations and two existing sidewalks were designed and replaced. In addition, three existing light poles were raised, and three new light poles were installed. Included in this project was the addition of an inlet, storm sewers and grading to solve the existing drainage issue. The runoff from the roof of one of the buildings was eroding the side of the building and had exposed the roots of the very old tree. We added an inlet by the wall to catch the water from the roof. After analysis of the system’s capacity, we designed a 200 LF pipe to connect the inlet to an existing drop inlet.
