My 13+ years of professional experience spans across critical areas such as Liquid & Solid Waste Management (WASH), infrastructure development, and smart city solutions. I have a proven track record in detailed engineering design, preparing good-for-construction (GFC) drawings, and developing comprehensive project reports, concept plans, and feasibility studies for large-scale projects. My expertise extends to working with various international funding agencies like JICA, ADB, World Bank, KFW, and USAID, as well as with EPC/BOOT/DBOT/PPP contractors. I have led significant projects under initiatives like Jal Jeevan Mission, AMRUT, and Smart Cities, focusing on improving environmental services, identifying applicable technologies, and ensuring successful deployment with robust O&M support. I excel in stakeholder engagement, monitoring & evaluation of deployed technologies, and conducting as-is and gap assessments for WASH infrastructure. My technical skills include AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and specialized tools like Water GEM and Sewer GEM, enabling me to manage complex design and planning tasks efficiently. I am also adept at preparing and approving Bill of Quantities (BOQ) and pre-bid engineering. I am a logical, analytical thinker with strong communication and persuasive abilities, thriving in both team and individual settings. My passion lies in contributing effectively to organizations through innovation and disciplined execution, leveraging my functional knowledge and technical proficiency to deliver sustainable environmental solutions.
