Biological & Agricultural Engineer

Where the
watershed
meets the map.

I'm a biological and agricultural engineering student working at the intersection of stormwater management, land surveying, and geospatial analysis — turning field data and regulatory complexity into clear, practical outcomes for land and water systems.

01 · About

Engineering land and water —
then mapping the story.

I'm a biological and agricultural engineering student with hands-on experience as an associate stormwater professional and assistant to a licensed land surveyor. My work sits at the edge of the field and the office: designing drainage systems, collecting survey data, and making sense of the spatial relationships that govern how land and water interact.

I work daily in ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, and AutoCAD Civil 3D — using them not just as drafting tools but as analytical platforms for understanding watersheds, grading plans, and stormwater infrastructure. I bring the same methodical thinking to every project, whether it's a permit application or a GIS dataset.

Beyond the technical work, I'm drawn to problems where precision and practical judgment both matter — reading a topo sheet in the field, designing a BMP that actually gets built, or finding a pattern in spatial data that changes a land-use decision.

What I'm building.

Projects rooted in real stormwater, surveying, and geospatial engineering problems — each one designed to sharpen technical skills while producing something useful in the field.

Building

Stormwater Runoff Analysis Tool

A Python-based workflow that ingests survey TIN data and land-cover layers to compute CN-weighted runoff volumes, time of concentration, and drainage basin boundaries — outputting permit-ready summaries and GIS layers for ArcPro review.

Survey Field Data Automation

Scripts to process raw total station export files, validate point closure errors, and auto-generate Civil 3D surface inputs — reducing the manual steps between field collection and CAD drafting in a surveying workflow.

Watershed Delineation & Land Cover Map

Using USGS DEM data and ArcPro's Spatial Analyst tools to delineate sub-watershed boundaries, classify NLCD land cover, and calculate impervious surface percentages across a study drainage area — packaged as a reproducible Python/arcpy workflow.

04 · Interests

What drives curiosity.

The problems I'm most excited to work on — where hydrology, spatial data, and engineering judgment all meet.

💧

Stormwater & Hydrology

Designing systems that manage runoff, protect water quality, and meet permit requirements in real development contexts.

📐

Land Surveying & Geomatics

Field data collection, boundary control, and the precision discipline of translating the physical world into accurate coordinates.

🗺️

Geospatial Analysis

Using GIS to find spatial patterns — watershed boundaries, land-use change, soil variability — that inform better engineering decisions.

🏗️

Land Development

Site grading, cut/fill optimization, and the challenge of fitting infrastructure onto a real landscape with real constraints.

🌾

Agricultural Systems

Soil-plant-water relationships, irrigation design, and the engineering side of how agricultural land is managed and improved.

🛰️

Remote Sensing

Processing satellite and aerial imagery to map land cover, impervious surface, and vegetation health across large study areas.
