Biography

I earned my B.Tech in Civil Engineering from Punjab Technical University in 2015 and am currently pursuing a part-time M.Tech in Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering at IIT Delhi, expected to complete in 2027. Alongside academics, I have built extensive professional experience in geotechnical and infrastructure engineering.

My interests include slope stability, ground improvement, foundation engineering, retaining structures, and geosynthetics-based solutions, with emphasis on practical design and field applicability. I contributed technical inputs to IRC:89–2019 Guidelines for River Training and Control Works for Road Bridges.

Professionally, I have worked with Maccaferri Environmental Solutions, Techfab India Industries, and Z-Tech (India) Pvt. Ltd., focusing on MSE walls, gabion structures, pavements, and reinforced earth systems. Currently, at Yooil Envirotech, I design ground improvement for dam foundations, impermeable liner systems, and retaining structures. Earlier, during my apprenticeship at the Central Water Commission of India, I gained valuable exposure to large-scale hydraulic and foundation engineering.
