PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

GRV Integrated Solutions LLC, El Paso, TX February 2020 – Present Civil Engineer

• Drainage Study (EPWater)

o Directed exhibits demonstrating the site plan in question across major dates for the property owners, showcasing its drainage properties, contours with water flow movement, peak discharge computations, and adjacent property activity

o Developed drainage study report by utilizing past studies in both drainage and geotechnical properties, CoEP base maps, computations, and site photographs.

• Drainage Design (Several Privately Owned Site Projects) o Developed existing and proposed contours with Microstation Geopak and topographic points o As per the client’s needs/requests, generated ponds utilizing the local drainage manual and compute peak discharge and storage volumes.

o Assisted in the drainage sheet that incorporates computations, existing and proposed contours, location of major ponds and elevations, crucial FEMA information, legend, and notes.

Ability to navigate local manuals, compute discharge and storage needed for a site, and create ponds as per client’s requests

• Citywide Bicycle Infrastructure (Capital Improvement) o Utilizing linework and google earth, design a re-striping of the corridor incorporating bike lanes with a buffer

Follow TxDOT and CoEP requirements, thus requiring a navigating skill for manuals o Develop drafted designs on Microstation including typical sections and the striping work for the given corridor.

o Generalized storm conditions through simulations of HEC-RAS to aid in the development for highways

o Generalized analysis of traffic thru McTans to simulate traffics behavior for the cities regional park

Qualified the area of traffic by designing the deviation of traffic through

• Traffic Control Plans

o Utilize MicroStation to draft the representation of the construction site, signing, and barriers the site it will be entailing

o Gather information from client to increase accuracy in terms of protecting commuter drivers from the actual workspace

o Developed sheets incorporating the proposed signs, notes, legend, and precise coordinates of construction site

o Skills required include navigating TMUTCD manuals to find appropriate placement of barriers and signs for commuter drivers

• Traffic Impact Assessment Study

o Develop exhibits to display existing peak hours count as well as for future build and no build years. The exhibits include distribution percentages (which are assessed by observing the traffic pattern based on surrounding locations) and a focus on the intersections surrounding the clients’ site. o Simulate existing traffic through HCS McTrans to acquire future traffic counts and patterns.

• Pre-Eliminary Plat

o Gather information required by the city and Texas government to meet the pre-requirements including existing contours, easement distances, signature boxes, notes, and representation of adjacent properties

o Create a sheet including the site and notes to submit for city approval o Address comments by the city, city engineer, and firefighter department, etc UTEP- Environmental and Sciences under Dr. S. Kumar, El Paso, TX July 2018 – Present Environmental Engineering Research Assistant

Aerial Remote Sensing

• Operated analytical models with the capture of UAV surveys to set up data of salinity

• Evaluated the use of Unmanned Aircraft System with software Pix4D Map to survey locations for salinity to provide data to prevent issues of salinity
