Engaged in civil and structural engineering with a focus on construction-related conditions, this professional provides forensic engineering analysis and litigation support with over 10 years of experience evaluating foundation systems, below-grade construction, and structural performance. Their work includes consulting on matters involving construction-damaged structures, foundation movement, and site-related conditions, informed by hands-on experience in forensic evaluations and structural assessments. Their work includes analysis and design of drilled foundations, temporary and permanent retaining structures, and temporary construction support systems. Key areas of expertise involve stability calculations, site inspections, and structural condition assessments, particularly in urban environments where adjacent construction may affect existing buildings. Additional areas of focus include water infiltration investigations and evaluation of construction impacts such as excavation-related damage, underpinning issues, and structural distress, which are often central to disputes involving settlement or construction sequencing.

In professional practice, this expert has contributed to litigation-related evaluations involving slab-on-grade failures, excavation support claims, and structural damage linked to adjacent construction. Responsibilities have included conducting site investigations, reviewing technical documentation, and developing opinions regarding causation and remediation approaches in coordination with legal and project stakeholders. Holding a master’s degree in civil engineering and engineering mechanics, a master’s degree in civil and environmental engineering, and a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, this expert is also a licensed Professional Engineer in multiple jurisdictions. Certifications include participation in the NCEES Records Program and completion of OSHA construction safety training.
