Goals and interests

Career goal

Currently, I work at LADOT in downtown Los Angeles. I have been able to work in Geometric Design, Taxicab Franchises, Transit and our engineering field offices. We are introducing new transportation programs such as Great Streets, Vision Zero, People Street, Multi-Modalism, Car Share, Bike Share and overall Active Transportation.

Graduate school interests

I particularly liked bridges and structures. I would like to incorporate my roadway design with bridge design. Bridges can be functional and pieces of art. Bringing the two of them together is a wonderful thing. I am using a new software called Midas software for prestressed concrete bridges for LRFD specs.
