A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I’m curious about how things work—and how to make them work better.
That curiosity led me to transportation engineering. It also keeps pulling me toward technology, communication, and projects that turn a good question into something useful. This portfolio brings together that work through roadway engineering, software, and Toastmasters projects connected to Louisiana.
PROFESSIONAL CREDENTIALS
THE THREAD THROUGH IT ALL
Different projects. The same question: how do the pieces fit together?
I like finding the system underneath the surface.
In roadway design, that means understanding how geometry, drainage, standards, cost, and the needs of a place affect one another. In a piece of software or hardware, it means noticing where a process feels harder than it should—and trying to make the next step clearer.
I’m happiest when I can move between the big picture and the details: ask why something works the way it does, learn the constraints, and build a practical improvement.
A DIRECTION SOMEONE ELSE SAW FIRST
My grandfather helped me see engineering as a place for my curiosity.
Before I had a career plan, I had someone who believed this way of thinking could lead somewhere.
My grandfather helped point me toward engineering and recognized that it fit the way I naturally looked at things. At the time, I didn’t have all the words for why it felt right. I just knew I wanted to understand how things were put together.
That encouragement stayed with me. Engineering gave my curiosity a discipline—and a way to make it useful to other people.
I’m grateful he saw that possibility in me early.
CURIOSITY, PUT TO WORK
I like making things that make the next step easier.
Some ideas start at work. Others start with a problem at home, a study session, or a process I wish were simpler.
A project-centered workspace shaped around the tools and decisions that move roadway work forward.

See the project → PERSONAL ENGINEERINGDexcomFrameA small everyday need became a hardware, software, and interface project for making important information easier to see.
See the project →THE HUMAN SIDE OF TECHNICAL WORK
Solving the problem matters. Helping people understand it matters too.
That belief is one reason I joined Highway to Success Toastmasters at DOTD and kept taking on new challenges until I became club president. Public speaking doesn’t always come naturally to engineers; that’s a reason to practice it, not avoid it.
SAY HELLO
Good work usually starts with a good conversation.
If you’re working through an engineering challenge, building something useful, or thinking about how to communicate technical ideas, I’d be glad to connect.
