Curriculum Vitae
Profile

Senior Project Engineer with 11+ years delivering complex energy and infrastructure projects — from early-stage FEED development through EPC tendering and field execution. Currently based in Milan, working on the Mozambique Rovuma LNG Phase 1 project at ExxonMobil, one of the largest greenfield LNG developments currently in FEED globally. My work sits at the intersection of execution planning, constructability, and contractor management — built the Advanced Work Packaging framework from scratch for a project with 50 million direct manhours at site, and evaluated technical proposals from major international contractors including Saipem, McDermott, Daewoo, CPECC, TEN, and JGC. Before ExxonMobil, eight years across capital projects and consulting in India — contract execution on a ~$410M greenfield biorefinery, PMO functions on ~$70M industrial capex, and Theory of Constraints consulting that cut project lead times by 30%.

International experience across India, Mozambique and Italy. Right to work in India and the UK.
