I’m an Electrical Engineer with over 6 years of hands-on experience delivering electrical solutions across industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects. I focus on installation, testing, commissioning, and maintenance while keeping safety, quality, and timely delivery at the center of every task.

In my current role, I supervise and optimize power generation and distribution systems across ELV, LV, MV, HV, and EHV networks. I lead transformer testing and commissioning, perform circuit breaker assessments (SF6, vacuum, and oil types), manage switchgear installation and maintenance, and support detailed earthing and grounding designs to mitigate electrical hazards.

I also drive control and automation engineering—configuring and validating PLC systems (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Schneider), developing logic using ladder FBD and structured text, and supporting integrations with VFDs, soft starters, sensors, and actuators. I design and execute SCADA FAT/SAT work for real-time monitoring, including alarm and datalogging functionality, while preparing thorough PLC and system documentation (I/O lists, logic diagrams, and test reports).

Previously, I strengthened operational reliability through protection coordination, relay timing tests, insulation resistance testing, thermography and vibration trend analysis, and robust preventive maintenance programs. Across projects, I coordinate with consultants, contractors, and multidisciplinary teams; direct permit-to-work and shutdown planning; troubleshoot electrical and instrumentation faults; and produce method statements, ITPs, and technical reports to ensure compliance with IEC, NEC, and local authority standards.
