<p>At Alpine Intel Engineering, I work as a Forensic Engineer responsible for conducting detailed field investigations, origin‑and‑cause analyses, and structural assessments for residential, commercial, and industrial properties across multiple U.S. states. My work involves evaluating construction materials, roofing systems, foundation performance, building envelopes, and structural components affected by wind, hail, moisture, impact, soil movement, and other loading conditions. I perform on‑site inspections, floor‑elevation surveys, diagnostic evaluations, and damage quantification, followed by the preparation of clear, defensible technical reports for insurers, attorneys, and engineering clients. I manage a high‑volume, multi‑state case portfolio, coordinate with contractors and stakeholders, and develop remediation scopes grounded in construction methods, safety considerations, and quality standards. This role has strengthened my expertise in construction technology, material behavior, equipment performance, and field‑based decision‑making&mdash;competencies directly relevant to Construction Technology &amp; Management.</p>
<p>I am transitioning from full‑time industry practice to a long‑term academic career. After completing my Ph.D. and Post‑Doctoral Research Fellowship, my professional goals have become strongly aligned with teaching, research, and curriculum development. While my role at Alpine Intel has provided extensive field experience and technical depth, I am now seeking to move into academia to contribute to construction education, pursue applied research, and mentor the next generation of engineers and construction professionals.</p>
