Employment Summary:
March, 2005 - Present

When I joined EJM, a roadway design engineering consultant firm, it
had recently been purchased by new owners who made me their first
full-time new hire. With little senior management and a lot of
ambition, I capitalized on the opportunity to manage projects and
personnel immediately with little or no direct supervision. Many
difficult decisions and long nights have been common, but I
continually meet or exceed these challenges while gaining valuable
learning experiences in the process.
EJM is now one of the leading DBE consultant firms in the
Chicagoland area in both lighting and traffic signals. My
leadership through project, personnel and IT management has been
instrumental to the firm's success and growth, as well as my
willingness to do what is necessary.
I have successfully managed and designed several roadway and airport
lighting projects concurrently at EJM, producing photometric
studies, roadway lighting layouts, wiring diagrams, voltage drop
calculations, specifications and cost estimates, usually under tight
deadlines. I have expertise in ITS designs as well; including CCTV
systems (both wireless and fiber), RTMS, DMS, ramp queue detectors
and WIM installations. I have been responsible for QCQA on all
outgoing electrical projects during my tenure, which have had
minimal construction questions or revisions.
I had the privilege to work directly for the Illinois Tollway as a
field consultant in 2009, where I designed, inspected, debugged,
modified and integrated both tower and pole mounted CCTV's, RTMS and
DMS installations throughout the system. I resolved a number of
construction problems during that arose, ranging from electrical
services for lighting controllers and cameras to construction
revisions for design modifications created on the field, which I
concurrently dealt with several contractors, superiors and clients.
Through my determination and hard work, an impressive 35 mile long
wireless camera network now exists within the system.
The challenging tasks I routinely meet involve managing a balance
among engineering recommendations, meeting client deadlines and
requests with personnel availability, and budget with scope of work.
I concurrently balance these demands of the electrical department
while also personally maintaining a standard of excellence for these
electrical designs, designing my own projects, providing cost
proposals for future projects and resolving any IT issues that
arise.

My first engineering experience was at KEI, which was a roadway
design engineering consultant firm. During my employment, I
conducted photometric studies, designed roadway lighting, performed
voltage drop calculations, wrote specifications and estimated
construction costs. This work required much coordination with many
other design disciplines, which required constant coordination with
other design teams and engineering firms.
Given minimal training, I was expected to take on a number of
projects while adjusting to new engineering concepts, a variety of
software and draft my own design. I was able to meet these
challenges due to my strong work ethic and ability to quickly learn
and apply new concepts. Experiences at the currently defunct firm
have resulted in a meticulous and relentless emphasis of quality
management and engineering ethics.
