What I'm looking for

I am looking for an entry-level civil engineering role in structural or geotechnical design where I can apply CAD/BIM skills, contribute to real projects, and continue developing technical expertise within a collaborative team.

I am a motivated civil engineering graduate with hands-on experience in structural design, ground improvement research, and virtual industry internships. I combine academic training with practical projects, including a complete CAD design of a G+5 R.C. building and research on stone column techniques for marine clay.

I have completed multiple virtual internship programs (Accenture, Goldman Sachs, John Holland) and technical workshops, and I hold certifications in Core Java, Python, and Green Building and Renewable Energy. I apply software tools such as AutoCAD, ETABS, Tekla (BIM), MATLAB, and MS Excel to solve engineering problems.

My accomplishments include leading the CAD design project, contributing to a soil improvement research study, and gaining practical BIM exposure at an IIT Kharagpur workshop. I also engage in community work through Hearts Of Humanity, reflecting a commitment to social impact alongside technical growth.

I seek roles that let me contribute to structural design and construction projects while continuing to learn and collaborate within multidisciplinary teams. I bring strong problem-solving, communication, and a dedication to professional development.
