Civil / Structural Engineer

ABOUT
A versatile self esteemed man with immense curious to learn the intense world, Passionate in
Structural Analysis and Design, Seismic design of structures , Research & Development of
sustainable construction materials and Roofing panels , Retrofitting of structures & Green building
technologies.
As an engineer in the world of Civil/Structural engineering i would put myself
"To be an Self-Disciplined Engineer with Dignity, Commitment and Consistency".
In simple terms this passion towards my field & domain made me an R&D enthusiastic to develop
the low carbon footprint light weight geopolymers - Fiberglass and welded wire roofing panels
for the motive of upliftment of rural communities in terms of good housing facility.
With all my optimistic perceptions, i will reinforce myself with this most potent branch of
engineering till i work on designing structures serviceable to the mankind.
