Work Experience

Assistant Mining Engineer at Underground Coal Gasification (UCG), Tharparkar
January 1, 2017 - December 1, 2017
Designed and modeled over 50 UCG well patterns (injection/production) using AutoCAD and GIS, optimizing well spacing for maximum syngas recovery. Utilized Reservoir Simulation Software to model cavity growth and predicted thermal-hydro-mechanical responses, reducing geological uncertainty by 15%. Implemented revised Controlled Retraction Injection Point (CRIP) procedures, which extended the life of the gasification cavity and stabilized syngas calorific value by 8%. Debugged and resolved 30+ operational issues related to well blockage, pressure fluctuations, and downhole sensor failures, minimizing unplanned downtime by 95%.
Research Assistant at Coal Research & Resource Centre (CRRC), MUET Jamshoro, Pakistan
June 1, 2018 - December 1, 2019
Executed proximate & ultimate analysis on Thar lignite samples, accurately determining moisture, ash, and calorific value to assess UCG feasibility. Processed 100+ raw data sets from lab experiments using MATLAB, ensuring data integrity for researchers studying coal conversion kinetics. Contributed to two technical reports by compiling and statistically interpreting experimental findings, aiding the Centre's publication on national coal utilization strategy.
Administration Assistant at AL Mehran Rural Development Organization (AMRDO), Hyderabad, Pakistan
March 1, 2021 - December 1, 2024
Managed and organized all physical and digital project records (e.g., beneficiary data, financial receipts) for over 15 rural development projects in the Sindh region. Handled and reconciled daily petty cash for office expenditures, ensuring accurate financial reporting and compliance with donor/audit requirements. Coordinated logistics and administration for internal team meetings and over 10 external community mobilization sessions with local stakeholders.
