                                     As a Senior Engineer in the Design Division of the Department of Public Works
                                     and Planning, I was in charge of a section that prepared construction plans,
                                     specifications, reports, and estimates for various engineering projects. My staff
                                     were also responsible for administering construction and consultant contract
                                     agreements. In this respect, they were expected to monitor and apply State
                                     Statutes and County Policies for changes in processing requirements in
                                     construction and consultant contract document solicitation, preparation, and
                                     processing. I was also responsible for managing timely preparation of Board of
                                     Supervisors agenda items for Environmental approvals, construction project
                                     advertising and award, and consultant services agreements. I represented the
                                     Design Division in meetings with the public, other agencies, Divisions and
                                     Departments within the County, and Boards and Commissions. Other tasks
                                     included; review of traffic impact studies in relation to development and design
                                     projects, processing of project environmental applications, administering the
                                     County Plan Line program, maintaining traffic signal priority list and the railroad
                                     safety and grade separation program.

               08/2002 – 08/2005     Project Engineer
                                     Dept. of Public Works and Planning, County of Fresno
                                     Fresno, CA 93721
                                     My responsibilities as a project engineer in the Roads and Bridges section of the
                                     Design Division were to design and manage projects from the planning stage all
                                     the way through construction. The design aspect of the work included tasks such
                                     as identifying design criteria, preparing plans, specifications, and cost estimates.
                                     From the project management standpoint, I had to follow through with funding
                                     applications, environmental clearances and permit applications, preparation of
                                     Request for Proposals and consultant selection and oversight, and overseeing the
                                     project budget and schedule. During my tenure in this section, I designed and
                                     managed several projects including two bridge replacement projects on Howard
                                     Avenue and the Academy Avenue road widening project which involved widening
                                     of a two- lane road to four lanes over a stretch of 8 miles including replacement of
                                     5 bridges and numerous irrigation facilities. I also designed Phase III of the
                                     American Avenue Disposal Site (AADS) located in southwest of the Fresno
                                     County. This project included the design of perimeter roads, landscaping and
                                     irrigation wells, monitoring wells, design of the composite liner system for module
                                     1, evaluation of fill sequence which were previously planned in phases I and II.
                                     This $15M project was designed and constructed considerably under budget and
                                     with the cost savings, County of Fresno was able to simultaneously construct
                                     modules 2 and 3 immediately afterwards, which I also designed.

               08/1999 – 01/2003     Assistant Professor
                                     Dept. of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics
                                     North Dakota State University (NDSU), Fargo, ND 58105
                                     This position involved teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in
                                     mechanical engineering and applied mechanics. The courses that I taught at
                                     NDSU include Modeling of Engineering Systems using MATLAB, Mechanics of
                                     Materials, Dynamics, Mechanics of Deformable Solids, Mechanics of Impact and
                                     Advanced Dynamics. Other responsibilities included laboratory development and
                                     research, student advising, and committee service. The focus of my research was
                                     on constitutive modeling and impact response of polymeric composites, damage
                                     repair of thick composite laminates and hydrodynamic ram effects on composites.
