What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply marine systems expertise and networking skills to improve operational reliability, lead technical projects, and support customers in a collaborative, process-driven environment.

I am a Technical Support Engineer with over 15 years' experience delivering VTMS, Radar, AIS, and IT network solutions for marine and coastal operations across India. I specialize in system integration, troubleshooting, and deploying reliable maritime communication and navigation systems.

My background spans project engineering, research, and renewable-energy system design, with achievements that include deploying VTMS in major ports, reducing system downtime by 30%, and delivering offshore solar structural designs that cut structural risk by 25%. I combine field commissioning expertise with software and network skills to improve operational reliability.

I am customer-focused and process-driven, experienced in cross-team coordination, CRM case handling, ocean modelling, and environmental impact assessments. I pursue continuous improvement and apply practical diagnostics, automation, and data workflows to deliver measurable performance gains.
