I'm Aravind Biju, a civil engineering graduate based in Melbourne, Australia, transitioning into Australian civil consulting. I cut flood damage assessment costs by developing Australia's first integrated API-TLI framework, turning intangible disaster impacts into AUD figures that directly inform federal policy decisions. I bring a proven track record in GIS-based spatial analysis, geotechnical risk assessment, infrastructure design, and data-driven engineering, backed by hands-on industry experience spanning site surveys, compliant drawing packages, and live construction oversight. I also lead teams with a safety-first mindset—demonstrated by managing an 8-person team with zero lost-time incidents—and I am excited to apply these skills to transport, hydrology, and infrastructure projects in Australia.
