Spearheaded a senior class project focused on optimizing an existing Caltrans project, specifically the I-80/SR-65 interchange. The primary objective was to reduce the budget while alleviating traffic congestion. This project provided a comprehensive, hands-on experience in various engineering disciplines.

► Project Collaboration: Worked under the mentorship of Chris Ladeas, Project Manager of District 3, and collaborated with a team of peers to recalibrate designs across multiple engineering domains.

► Budget Optimization: Conducted detailed cost analysis and value engineering to identify cost-saving opportunities, successfully achieving a 30% reduction ($150M) in the project budget.

► Traffic Congestion Solutions: Applied traffic engineering principles to develop innovative solutions for alleviating congestion, improving traffic flow and safety.

► Multidisciplinary Design Integration: Coordinated efforts in water and environmental engineering to address stormwater management and ecological impact.

► Structural Engineering: Redesigned structural components for enhanced efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

► Geotechnical Engineering: Evaluated soil and foundation conditions to recommend suitable engineering practices, optimizing the stability and longevity of the interchange
