Collaboration is our superpower

Proficient Engineering is led by Principals Paul Kenney, Heyoung Lee, Mike Roeder, Brian Armenta, Jennifer Duchac, Ron Kight, Jaime Merritt, and Tommy Wasmund. We’re a dynamic leadership team with a compelling blend of experience and skill sets.

Every time I’ve worked with Proficient, my clients have been happy and it’s been a smooth process for me. We haven’t had issues where my client had to deal with unexpected expenses or things were overlooked. I also appreciate that Proficient put in the extra time to make things right even in instances when we needed two or three revisions – there were no complaints. I’m happy to use Proficient again.
