Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacob Peterson is an accomplished environmental and humanitarian engineer with 11 years of experience applying mathematical rigor to water systems design, numerical modeling, and data-driven project management. He built hands-on expertise designing rural water distribution systems—teaching engineers in Central America, refining models in EPANET, and preparing funding documentation for organizations like USAID. Transitioning from field engineering, he now manages a creative studio while seeking roles that better leverage his numerical modeling strengths and analytics background. His academic record (MS Civil Engineering, 3.8) and early lab experience reflect strong experimental design and data analysis skills honed across industry and research settings. Comfortable leading multidisciplinary teams and training others, he pairs technical depth with practical problem solving in resource-constrained contexts. Notably, his work blends international development experience with an uncommon combination of modeling expertise and grassroots implementation.
