I'm a construction project management professional with over seven years of experience turning complex infrastructure visions into reality. My journey spans two continents, from managing a $1.3 billion infrastructure project in India with a 40-person engineering team to overseeing critical highway and bridge rehabilitation projects across Connecticut.
What drives me is the intersection of precision engineering and real-world problem-solving. I've developed systematic approaches to quality control that have resulted in zero major defects on multiple projects, saving millions in potential rework costs while maintaining tight schedules.
My expertise centers on large-scale infrastructure projects, particularly bridge rehabilitation and highway construction. I specialize in that crucial space where engineering meets execution – ensuring designs translate flawlessly into built environments while maintaining the highest safety and compliance standards.
Having worked extensively with CTDOT specifications and federal compliance requirements, I bring a unique perspective on adapting international construction practices to American standards. This cross-cultural expertise has proven invaluable in navigating complex regulatory environments and managing diverse project teams.
