xPM Construction Project Management

AI INTEGRATION SPECIALIST · THE FOUNDER’S RIGHT HAND

Not a marketing seat. The end-to-end conception, research, design, content, and product build-out of a construction decision-intelligence company: 22 bodies of work across 5 disciplines, every one of them below. See the public output live: xPM on LinkedIn ↗

~1,500 hrs of manual work removed. Estimate, math below
5,206 PDFs research corpus indexed, 699/700 citations verified
600+ artifacts 406 dossiers · 115+ films · 70+ posts · 37 articles
22 works catalogued below across 5 disciplines, product to strategy

The math is conservative. Done by hand, 406 dossiers × 2.5 h + 115 films × 4 h + 70 posts × 1.5 h ≈ 1,580 h of production. The pipeline cut each piece to minutes plus review. Net: ~1,500 h, roughly one extra full-time hire since Oct 2025. Counts come straight from the live folders.

Hevesta Capital: the buy side

PRIVATE EQUITY / SEARCH FUND ANALYST

The work

I ran industry and company research to find, evaluate, and prioritize warm acquisition leads against the fund’s investment criteria. Financial, operational, and competitive analysis fed the top of the pipeline.

On the sourcing committee

I streamlined the lead-generation workflow and sharpened target matching against the fund’s filters. Better sourcing quality, less wasted diligence.

This ran in parallel with the Sellside M&A seat. Buy side and sell side in the same fall.

Catalyst Consulting & Strategy Group

FOUNDING MEMBER & FINANCIAL DIRECTOR

Founded from zero

I helped found a pro-bono campus consulting group serving local businesses and nonprofits, and built its financial framework from scratch. I set membership dues by analyzing expenses to balance affordability against long-term sustainability.

First case

A strategic engagement with Project PL-8: the financial strategy behind funding a student-built, street-legal car.

Website ↗ · Instagram ↗ · LinkedIn ↗

$20K+ for a student-built street-legal car

FUNDRAISING & FINANCE

The mission

Project PL-8: design, engineer, and manufacture a street-legal car built entirely by students, the world’s first basalt-fiber car. My lane was the money. Targeted outreach, grants, and sponsorships brought in over $20,000.

How

I rebuilt the corporate sponsorship package around what sponsors wanted, ran the grant research and applications, and worked the tax-exempt strategy with the finance team. The funding strategy itself ran as a case through , the consulting group founded the same January.

Client project: Thoma Bravo risk analysis

A client risk-analysis engagement (RM 357E, UT Austin): a full read of Thoma Bravo’s tech-focused private equity operations: the cybersecurity and regulatory exposure of owning dozens of software companies, grounded in real cases like SolarWinds and RealPage.

What it produced

An enterprise-risk-management evaluation of exposure and firm response, with recommendations on compliance systems, cybersecurity protocols, and operational resilience.

Published, twice

The papers

I co-authored two publications: a comparison of machine-learning approaches in remote education (2023), and a perspectives piece on the state of the STEM field (2024). I managed an editorial team at a Rice University program in the same period.

Two schools at once

Kickoff

I started high school and college in the same semester, dual-enrolled at Harmony School of Endeavor and Austin Community College. I carried the load for four years.
