To Whom It May Concern:

I am a Senior Civil Engineer with 14 years of experience. Most recently I

worked as a Senior Transportation Project Engineer with the firm of

Rajappan & Meyer, Inc. I have extensive experience with the preparation

of Storm Water Data Reports (SWDR), drainage reports, and the production of

comprehensive drainage layout, profile, detail, and quantity plans. I am

highly competent in the use of AutoCad 2011 Civil 3D, Softdesk v.8,

Autodesk Land Desktop 3, and the Hydraflow Storm Sewers 2005 program. I

have had the opportunity to design, generate specifications and perform

estimates for public works projects such as road improvement, light rail,

typical sections, layouts and profiles, super-elevations, pavement

delineation, sign plans, erosion control, and water pollution plans.

Working collaboratively towards solving the various challenges of civil

projects is an aspect of our work that I thoroughly enjoy. I have a strong

background in hydraulics and drainage design. I have been recognized for a

high level of productivity, proficiency, and dedication to my projects.

Given my breadth of experience, high motivation towards professional

growth, diverse skills and desire to undertake increasing responsibility, I

am confident I could make an important contribution to any Civil

Engineering firm. I look forward to meeting with you and discussing

possible professional opportunities within your firm.

Sincerely,

Husam Aburabi
