I’m a civil and environmental engineer based in Los Angeles, with experience in transportation planning, sustainable infrastructure, and air quality analysis. My technical skills include AutoCAD, GIS, Civil 3D, EPANET, and HCS.

I’ve contributed to projects in traffic modeling, stormwater design, and LEED-focused site reporting. Currently working with a U.S. transportation agency, I’m open to freelance work in engineering design, sustainability, and data-driven planning.

Let’s build a cleaner, smarter future together.

I’m a civil and environmental engineer with hands-on experience in roadway and site design, stormwater management, and air quality planning. I’ve worked with the Maryland DOT on highway design projects using OpenRoads and MicroStation, and previously supported LEED site planning and drainage systems for commercial sites. My work spans transportation modeling, water distribution system design, and sustainable infrastructure planning in both the U.S. and China.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from NYU Tandon School of Engineering, with minors in Environmental Engineering and Transportation Engineering. My coursework and capstone focused on water systems, traffic analysis, and land development, supported by strong skills in AutoCAD, EPANET, GIS, and HCS7. I also studied Environmental Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology.
