Transportation is the orchestration of space, time, and people. Getting that orchestration right is the work.
Successful projects are rarely defined by technical analysis alone. They require judgment, an understanding of the communities they serve, and a willingness to unlock more value from what already exists.

Featured experience · 8 selected projects
Project Manager · City of La Mesa
View record +As project manager for the City of La Mesa’s on-call traffic-engineering program, Brian worked as an extension of City staff on development review, traffic operations, safety investigations, signal and signing matters, and day-to-day technical decisions. The embedded relationship combined senior engineering judgment with practical implementation support, giving the City flexible access to experienced traffic-engineering capacity as needs emerged. The work also produced repeatable procedures and tools that strengthened internal staff capabilities and improved the consistency of future reviews.

Open project page →Traffic Lead · New York State Department of Transportation
View record +Brian served as traffic modeling lead for the $2.25 billion I-81 Viaduct Project from alternatives analysis and environmental review through final-design coordination. He developed and refined the project’s Vissim microsimulation framework, supported freight forecasting and construction-stage analysis, and helped shape the Community Grid alternative through operational concepts that distributed traffic, reduced widening, and limited property impacts. His work also included truck-routing analysis, public and agency coordination, surrogate-safety analysis, and high-fidelity visualization of proposed conditions.
Work performed at Parsons Corporation · 11/2013–4/2025
Open project page →Engineering Manager · New York State Department of Transportation
View record +Brian led traffic-engineering efforts for the I-787 Corridor Reimagining Study in downtown Albany. He directed quality control for traffic operations analysis, developed modeling workflows, presented findings to agency partners, and coordinated with planning and environmental disciplines. Using the PTV Visum regional travel-demand model, he helped evaluate alternatives that balanced freight access to the Port of Albany with safety, economic development, waterfront access, and multimodal connectivity.
