About

Engineer. Researcher. Builder of scalable simulations that move freight, reduce emissions, and drive decision-making. I’m a dual-degree PhD researcher in Civil Engineering and Computer Science at Virginia Tech, specializing in software development, freight logistics optimization, and transportation simulation. I’ve led $1.5M+ in federally funded projects, building full-stack open-source simulation tools—NeTrainSim, ShipNetSim, and CargoNetSim—that help governments and companies model energy use, optimize operations, and transition toward decarbonized infrastructure. I also develop autonomous vehicle simulation modules using CARLA, with advanced pedestrian safety modeling and HMD integration. My stack includes C++, Python, .NET, React, Azure, and simulation libraries across GIS, AI/ML, and traffic modeling. What I bring: • Simulation and optimization for transportation, logistics, or energy • Full-stack development for simulation and analytics platforms • Cross-disciplinary R&D collaboration across academia, public sector, and private industry Currently seeking postdoc or research faculty positions, OR industry roles in software development, simulation, optimization, or AI-enabled infrastructure. Let’s connect if you need someone who turns complex systems into code that delivers impact.
