EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE

A.D.A. Engineering, Inc.

Water Resources Engineer, July 2002 to January 2009

MIKE SHE/MIKE 11 Modeling--Broward County Integrated Water Resources Management Master Plan

Broward County MIKE SHE/MIKE 11 modeling. Adding the CERP components to the Base model including C9, C11, Site1 Impoundments and Seepage Manage Area. The model results demonstrate the impact of the proposed CERP projects on Broward County Water Resources.

MIKE SHE/MIKE 11 Modeling--Kissimmee Modeling and Operations Study—Phase II

Kissimmee River Basin MIKE SHE/MIKE 11 modeling. Making changes for MIKE 11 network, cross section and boundary files. Adding lateral inflow as boundary flow. Different Manning’s N was used to calibrate the model. Running 30 year simulation that provides information concerning the water depth within the floodplain. The model result will be utilized to develop proposed flooding map.

MIKE SHE/MIKE 11 Modeling--EAA Storage Reservoirs – Phase I Project Implementation Report (PIR) Worked on the basin and sub-basin delineation, rainfall frequency analysis for storm events, hydrologic modeling/methodology report, and existing conditions MIKE 11/MIKE SHE sub-regional model development.

Compartment C STA and Pump Station Design. URS Corporation, Boca Raton / South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD)

Assisting with the Compartment C STA and Pump Station Design report. Hec-Ras Model data and result analysis, helped with specifications, drawings and calculations for the preliminary and intermediate design report.

South Florida Water Management Model (SFWMM)—SFWMD On Site Contractor April 2003 to June 2007 Model input data collection and analysis; changing model input files, running model for different scenarios (EAA runs, Broward WPA runs) on UNIX, model output and script evaluation; analyzing the performance measure graphics, extracting flow, stage and levee seepage data from model input and output.

South Florida Regional Simulation Model Rainfall data, canal and well stage data QA/QC for South Florida Regional Simulation Model (SFRSM).

Gflow Model Running groundwater model Gflow to get the levee seepage coefficients in water conservation area as the model input for Regional Simulation Model.

Reviewing sub regional model input, output and reports C43 MIKE SHE/MIKE 11 modeling; EAA MIKE SHE/MIKE 11 modeling; Broward WPA groundwater modeling; Hec-Ras modeling reviewing.

XP-SWMM Modeling Helped to set up and run XP-SWMM for the Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) C-1 Basin Master Plan development for storm water management and water quality planning.

AutoCAD Grading, paving and drainage design experience in using AutoCad Land Development software.
