For Employers
Please see my resume below:
Recently completed my stint on a Fulbright Scholarship to Bangladesh, I am looking for opportunities in transportation engineering and planning now that I have returned to the U.S. I have a Bachelors degree in Civil Engineering from North Carolina State University, and graduated in May 2007.
The work I performed in Bangladesh leaned in the direction of operations, looking into the effects that overcrowded buses have on the system and its passengers. The aim of the still ongoing study is to see how bus type affects the crowded conditions, examining both local and ticketed buses. They differ in their fare collection systems, number of stoppages, and size as well as preferential characteristics such as cleanliness, comfort, and fare amounts. A significant amount of data collection was required, as each bus was ridden the full length of its route, resulting in over five hundred hours of bus riding. The project was created and developed exclusively by myself on funds provided by the Fulbright Scholarship. I was affiliated with the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology under the advice of Dr. Md. Mizanur Rahman.
My professional interests lie in all the areas of transportation. I have enjoyed the work I have performed in planning, design, operations, and safety. Projects that relate to regional systems, large scale infrastructure projects, urban transit, and context sensitive solutions are a favorite of mine.
My three internships with Schoor DePalma gave me a wide variety of experiences in all parts of civil engineering. From design to inspection, I got to experience engineering at all stages of a project’s life, and gained an understanding of the precariousness of infrastructure. Through these projects I gained experience designing in AutoCAD LandDesktop, as well as a variety of structural engineering programs. Lastly, I learned to be proficient with my words writing reports for clients, including a number of government agencies.
I underwent a training course in AutoCAD Civil3D in the summer of 2007. Learning this program showed to me the directions that engineering design is taking to be prepared for the future.
I have a niche interest in the mapping of road systems and the U.S. Interstate Highways. I hope to integrate into future study and work topics such as urban sprawl, megapolitan growth, community planning, streetscapes, and landscape architecture. All transportation topics, however, become instantly interesting to me when they involve developing nations.
