I’m an experienced and highly skilled Geotechnical Engineer focused on analysing, designing, and implementing geotechnical solutions across engineering projects. I bring expertise in geotechnical investigations, slope stability analyses, foundation design, and clear recommendations that support safe construction and infrastructure development. I’m committed to safety standards and regulatory requirements throughout project execution.

As a Resident Geotechnical Engineer, I conduct geotechnical site investigations and assessments of soil and rock conditions. I perform design and analysis for foundations and retaining structures, assess slope and embankment stability, and recommend slope protection measures when needed. I also carry out laboratory testing and quality control for construction materials and provide on-site supervision to verify excavation, earthwork, compaction, and compliance with specifications.

Previously, as a Highway Materials Engineer, I tested and evaluated construction materials for highway projects, selected suitable materials based on requirements and conditions, and developed material specifications and guidelines. I provided technical support during construction, monitored material performance over time through field conditions and lab sampling, and ensured compliance with contract documents and industry standards through audits and inspections.

Earlier, as an Assistant Geotechnical Engineer, I supported field testing, borehole logging, soil and rock sampling, and laboratory procedures such as grain size analysis, moisture content determination, compaction tests, and shear strength tests. I also helped with slope stability analyses, foundation support in design work, instrumentation monitoring (settlement gauges, piezometers, inclinometers), and preparation of technical reports and project documentation. I’m now seeking opportunities to contribute knowledge, expertise, and innovation in geotechnical engineering.
