About

I’m an Electrical & Electronics Engineering graduate with hands-on experience across utility-scale solar installations, oil refinery electrical commissioning support, and residential housing electrical infrastructure. I’ve worked with inverters, PCS, battery storage, ATS panels, generator integration, and distribution systems—ensuring installations align with single-line diagrams, electrical layouts, and approved drawings.

I’m comfortable on active construction sites, where I verify work against drawings, maintain structured site records, and coordinate between contractors and project engineers to support safety and quality compliance. I also have strong grounding in pre-commissioning testing, cable pulling/termination, loop checking, and fault identification—continuing to learn quickly and improve reliability in the field.
