About
I’m an electrical and MEP project professional with over a decade of experience managing project schedules, procurement, staffing, budgeting, and risk from planning through testing and commissioning. I coordinate technical teams, align deliverables with quality and safety requirements, and communicate effectively with clients, consultants, vendors, and government authorities.
I bring a value-driven approach to ensuring projects stay on track—tracking budget performance, managing variations and billing, and resolving technical issues quickly during commissioning. I’ve led relay and protection testing, functional testing, insulation and high-voltage tests, and the successful execution of electrical systems including switchgear, HT/LT panels, transformers, cables, CTs/PTs, relays, and busbars, while also supporting renewable energy and power solutions such as solar PV systems.
