What I'm looking for

I’m looking to coordinate and engineer sustainable wastewater and WASH infrastructure, backed by strong research and compliance. I want to work at the intersection of decentralized solutions and ESG-ready environmental policy.

I’m an environmental and rural engineering professional with an M.Tech from IIT Guwahati (Ranked 1st in cohort) and hands-on experience coordinating large-scale Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) operations under Delhi Jal Board. I bring disciplined environmental compliance, end-to-end planning, and quality-focused execution across drainage and integrated sewage networks.

In my research, I engineered and evaluated a rural vermi-filtration system for domestic liquid waste in Assam, achieving a 92.69% reduction in BOD5 and over 90% removal efficiency for COD and TSS. I used SEM to validate structural behavior and designed a decentralized, low-cost Geofilter framework translating technical parameters into scalable ecological infrastructure.

I also connect engineering to policy through macro-economic and climate research—analyzing CBAM impacts and tracking biosphere reserve updates and IUCN status to support ESG-aligned compliance. Alongside my industry and research work, I’ve supported technical instruction as a Graduate Teaching Assistant and contributed to publication efforts.
