## About

I work at the intersection of renewable energy, operations and sustainability\. Over the past 9\+ years, I have worked across solar PV, energy efficiency and industrial sustainability, managing complex technical and operational interfaces between engineering teams, external partners, EPC contractors, procurement and business stakeholders\. At Mercedes\-Benz Research & Development India, I coordinate renewable\-energy projects representing approximately 100 MWp of Solar PV across Germany, Hungary and Romania, working across feasibility, engineering, procurement, EPC coordination, construction, commissioning and project close\-out\. My role goes beyond technical engineering\. I regularly work across multiple teams to: • resolve complex technical and delivery issues • coordinate external partners and internal stakeholders • track dependencies, risks and actions • improve project processes and reporting • translate technical requirements into practical execution • support decisions involving cost, quality, timelines and implementation I also work as a Product Owner for the Mercedes\-Benz Green Production Database, coordinating requirements and cross\-functional inputs to improve operational sustainability\-data visibility\. Earlier in my career, I worked on industrial energy\-efficiency assessments and renewable\-energy implementation across automotive, steel, cement, commercial and energy\-sector environments\. Areas I am particularly interested in: Climate\-tech Operations \| Partner Operations \| Customer & Service Operations \| Renewable Energy \| Energy Efficiency \| Process Improvement \| Energy Management \| Industrial Decarbonization
