I spent five years on job sites and in CAD — grading plans, utility as-builts, SFO parking garages — before I wrote production code. Now I build AI automation for the firms I used to work at.
> RFIs, submittals, daily reports, punch lists — the paperwork that eats your PMs' week. I cut it to hours.
Five years in civil — Nibbi, Westland, BKF. Then five in software. Same discipline, different tool. I build AI automation for construction and civil firms that actually ships.
Civil engineer first — Nibbi, Westland, BKF. Then I learned to code and never looked back. Now I build AI workflows that give PMs back their week.
THE THING I WISH EXISTED WHEN I WAS A DRAFTER.
Drafters lose hours a day squinting at PM redlines before they touch Civil 3D. I know — I did it.
Upload a redlined PDF. Claude Vision reads every annotation and hands back a structured checklist — classified, cross-referenced to sheets, confidence-scored.
Full-stack builds under active development — showing automation, AI integration, and real feature depth on domains outside civil.
Counter-first sushi concept. Next.js + TypeScript front-end, Supabase Postgres for bookings, server-side validation, Resend confirmation emails, protected owner dashboard. Deployed to Vercel.
AI layer: conversational booking, natural-language owner queries ("how many covers last Saturday?"), and automated guest comms.
If your PMs are manually chasing RFIs, compiling daily reports, or hand-building owner updates at 9 PM Thursday — all of that is machine work now.
I built physical infrastructure before I built digital. Project engineer on a Low-Income Housing Development and the SFO Long-Term Parking Garage with Nibbi Bros — takeoffs, subcontractor coordination, field problem-solving.
At Westland Group I was the drafter who kept automating Excel in VBA until the shop realized I should just be writing software. Two years at BKF Engineers as Lead Civil 3D Designer — grading, utility, stormwater — on Treasure Island, Adrian Court, Oakland waterfront.
Then I went heads-down on code through 100Devs. The tools changed. The discipline — check your own work, document every decision, the spec is gospel — didn't.
Building AI automation tooling for Bay Area civil firms. Running on full caffeine and jobsite instincts.
