About

The expert manager your project calls first.

With 23 years of heavy civil construction experience โ€” spanning marine, tunnel, highway, bridge, and federal infrastructure โ€” I bring a rare combination of field-level technical mastery and executive-level project management to every engagement.

I've operated as Director of Survey Operations across a $4.55 billion portfolio, managing personnel, subcontractors, budgets, and stakeholder relationships simultaneously โ€” while staying close enough to the data to catch what others miss.

I am a California Licensed Land Surveyor (LS), having passed both the national FS and PS exams and received my license in 2022. I hold an AGC Construction Manager of BIM certification and an undergraduate certification in Project Management. I am OSHA 30 certified and a veteran of the United States Marine Corps.

Services

Expert management across every phase of survey operations.

01
Survey Management & Consulting

Senior-level survey management for complex heavy civil projects โ€” with the technical depth to understand every specification and the management experience to execute against it.

  • Initial project setup & control network
  • Survey submittal preparation & review
  • Subcontractor selection & management
  • Budget development & forecast
  • Subcontractor audits & QA/QC
  • Owner & stakeholder interface
  • Forensic control investigations
02
AI-Powered Data Processing

A custom-built, local-first AI processing engine purpose-built for the most VRAM-hungry workloads in geospatial data โ€” ingesting massive, multi-gigabyte raw laser scans into Trimble RealWorks, processing dense aerial photogrammetry in Pix4D, and reconstructing highly complex 3D meshes from terrestrial, airborne, and underwater capture. All inference runs on a self-hosted, expanding multi-node compute cluster โ€” never in the cloud.

Workflows are powered by locally hosted large-scale foundational models at 70B to 400B parameter scale, enabling automated deviation reporting, forensic contract analysis, and spatial QA/QC without any data leaving the facility.

  • Point cloud ingestion & cleaning โ€” Trimble RealWorks
  • Aerial photogrammetry processing โ€” Pix4D
  • Multibeam sonar & bathymetric data
  • Extremely dense point cloud & mesh reconstruction
  • As-built vs. design deviation analysis
  • Forensic contract & control analysis
  • 70Bโ€“400B parameter local model inference
  • BIM-ready deliverable generation
03
Project Engineering Support

Engineering and design support across the full project lifecycle โ€” from bid and preconstruction through construction support and final closeout documentation.

  • Submittal & shop drawing review
  • RFI preparation & spec clarification
  • Executive summaries & black book forecasts
  • DBE/SBE compliance support
  • Field design & work order development
  • Procore & ProjectWise administration
Data Security & Compute

Secure on-premise compute โ€” because federal infrastructure data never leaves the facility.

Due to the data privacy requirements and sensitive nature of federal infrastructure work, all AI inference, spatial data processing, and point cloud cleaning at Axiom Civil are performed strictly in-house โ€” on a local-first, air-gapped, expanding multi-node compute cluster.

No raw scan data, photogrammetric imagery, sonar datasets, or project deliverables are transmitted to third-party cloud services at any stage of processing. Every workload โ€” from multi-gigabyte LiDAR ingestion to large-scale model inference โ€” runs entirely within a controlled, on-premise environment.

This architecture is not incidental โ€” it is a deliberate design decision in direct response to the security mandates of the military, federal, and DOD owners Axiom Civil serves.
