About Me

Engineering at the edge of land and sea

I'm an Ocean Engineering graduate of Texas A&M University (B.S., May 2026), with hands-on experience spanning offshore oil & gas operations, construction support, and data analytics. I'm now looking for a full-time role where messy field data becomes a clear, defensible engineering decision.

Across four internships I've built Ignition/SCADA dashboards, mapped pipelines and platform connections, produced AutoCAD drawings, and helped coordinate engineering deliverables between field and office teams. My current focus is offshore production systems and the operational checks that keep platforms running safely.

As an Eagle Scout and Triple Crown recipient, I bring a steady work ethic, comfort in the field, and the leadership habits that come from guiding teams through demanding environments.
