About

Professional summary

I am a PMP-certified Senior Project Manager and Electrical Engineering professional with more than 23 years of experience delivering industrial CAPEX, infrastructure, maintenance, and modernization programs. My experience spans mining, fertilizers, cement, petrochemicals, power, manufacturing, and port infrastructure.

I lead end-to-end project delivery, including project planning, budgeting, cost and schedule control, resource allocation, risk mitigation, contractor coordination, commissioning, and governance. I have managed more than $200M in cumulative CAPEX and delivered major projects with strong on-time and on-budget performance.

My electrical engineering background includes power distribution, HT/LT panels, 11kV substations, transformers, MCCs, UPS systems, PLC, SCADA, DCS, industrial instrumentation, installation, testing, and commissioning. I focus on improving asset reliability, electrical safety, operational performance, and statutory compliance.

I have led teams of more than 40 engineers, supervisors, and technicians and managed over 50 vendors and contractors across concurrent workstreams. I maintain a strong HSE mindset and have supported active project sites with a zero lost-time-injury record.

I am expanding my project delivery practice through Agentic AI, LLM applications, workflow automation, and AI-assisted root cause analysis. I have deployed production LLM solutions that substantially reduced failure-investigation time, improved maintenance planning, and generated measurable operational value.

I bring a practical combination of project leadership, electrical engineering expertise, reliability management, commercial discipline, and digital transformation capabilities. I am focused on delivering safe, efficient, cost-effective projects and sustainable business outcomes.
