Derrick has over 20 years of experience in designing and developing communication, power, and control systems for transportation projects. He has been involved in all phases of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and roadway lighting, from planning to construction. His expertise includes deploying fiber optic and microwave networks, distributed electrical power, and standby generators.
A senior ITS engineer, Derrick is passionate about how things work—a curiosity that began in childhood when he took apart toys to study their mechanics. He finds the most rewarding projects are those he sees through the entire life cycle, from concept to operation. As a trusted advisor, he values client relationships and strives to create solutions that are both effective and easy to maintain. He stays current on industry standards and codes.
When Derrick isn’t working, you can find him spending time with his family—hiking, playing board games, or simply exploring new adventures together.
