Core Competency

Software & Tools

Software is leverage on top of judgment. I'm fluent in the geotechnical, civil, geospatial, and geophysical tools that turn field observations into defensible analysis and clear deliverables.

Detail

In practice

Geotechnical analysis — Slope/W & Seep/W

Slope/W for limit-equilibrium stability across method families (Bishop, Spencer, Morgenstern–Price); Seep/W for steady-state and transient seepage. Together they cover the slope and ground-water side of most embankment, abutment, and excavation problems.

Design & drafting — Civil 3D, AutoCAD

Subsurface profiles, boring location plans, slope sections, foundation details — built in Civil 3D and AutoCAD so they integrate cleanly with the civil and structural sheet sets.

Geospatial — ArcGIS Pro

Boring location maps, terrain and hydrology analysis, alignment overlays, and figure-quality cartography for reports and presentations.

Geophysics — Res2D/3D & Earth Imager

ERT survey design, inversion, and interpretation for shallow subsurface imaging and leak detection in the SIUE research context.
