Jeneya is a civil engineer and ecologist specializing in river and wetland restoration, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, and design of multi-benefit projects. His interdisciplinary background in ecology, hydraulic engineering, and fluvial geomorphology is complemented by comprehensive technical skills that include hydraulic modeling, GIS, CAD, Python coding, and vegetation sampling. Jeneya is happy to work on projects of any scale or ecosystem—from small pond restoration projects to multi-hundred-million-dollar shoreline adaptation projects. Prior to joining Balance Hydrologics, Jeneya worked for nine years at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in San Francisco, planning and designing ecosystem restoration and flood risk management projects throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and coastal northern California. He is passionate about leading diverse teams and finding win-win solutions that restore ecosystems while maintaining the services that humans rely on. When he’s not working, Jeneya is most likely playing with his dog, riding his bike, or soaking in a hot spring somewhere.
