📌 Bio – Project Management Professional | Civil Engineer | Planning & Scheduling Specialist
Hi, I’m a passionate Civil Engineer and certified Project Management Professional (PMP®) with over 6 years of experience in the Infrastructure sector. My journey has taken me across the dynamic landscapes of Lift Irrigation Projects, Railways, and Metro Systems, where I’ve worn multiple hats—from consultant and planner to execution and project management expert.

🔧 Professional Experience Highlights:

Successfully handled mega lift irrigation projects with L&T, involving 6 pump houses and a complex piped water supply system, marked by intricate terrains and aggressive timelines.

Worked extensively with RDSO drawings (11756 & 11758) for girder design and execution in railway projects.

Contributed to planning and execution for Railway Sidings including Earthwork, Bridge Works, P. Way, OHE, and S&T.

Played a key role in schedule recovery from unforeseen delays like COVID-19, environmental clearance hurdles, and land acquisition challenges—skills that now help me anticipate and buffer future project schedules more effectively.

🧠 What I Value:
My work is rooted in accountability, clarity, and continuous improvement. I’m a firm believer that planning isn’t just about charts and dates—it’s about understanding boots-on-the-ground realities, foreseeing risks, and enabling collaboration across all levels of a project. I thrive on structure, but I’m flexible enough to adapt when field realities kick in.

🛠 Tools of the Trade:

Primavera P6 & Microsoft Project – for robust planning, resource and cost loading

MS Excel – for custom progress trackers and automation

Power BI – for stunning dashboards and insights

AutoCAD – for reviewing and integrating drawings into execution plans

🎯 Currently Exploring:

Freelance consulting in planning and scheduling for small and mid-size construction projects

Building Excel-based project dashboards and custom tools for construction management

No-code platforms to bring together freelancers for collaboration

Opportunities in remote or hybrid project roles based in or around Hyderabad

💬 Anecdote that Shaped Me:
During my time on a challenging irrigation project, delays due to forest clearance approvals completely threw off our baseline. It was in that chaos I realized the true power of adaptive planning. From that point on, I stopped just making Gantt charts—I started planning with contingency, communication, and collaboration at the core.

🎨 Hobbies & Passions:
When I’m not immersed in schedules and dashboards, I enjoy:

Reading project management blogs and civil engineering case studies

Experimenting with Excel automation and dashboard design

Long walks and quiet thinking sessions—my best ideas come when I’m unplugged

Occasionally sketching out workflow systems on paper before jumping to the laptop
