Work experience

Civil Engineer at Shell, Jul 2025 - Present · 1 yr 2 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Hydrogen Project (HH1) Civil Lead at Shell, Jan 2023 - Aug 2025 · 2 yrs 8 mos, The Hague, South Holland, Netherlands, As the civil, structural, and architectural lead for the 200 MW Holland Hydrogen 1 project, I managed the end-to-end delivery of over 1800 project deliverables, from detailed design assurance to execution. I co-developed technical specifications with contractors, ensured design safety through 3D/4D planning, and optimized costs with a mission-critical redesign of the central control room, achieving a 20% savings. Additionally, I championed circular construction practices, reducing environmental impact by 25% through sustainable materials like recycled concrete and XCarb steel. I also led contractor coordination, managed CAPEX of $500k+, and collaborated with regulatory bodies to secure necessary permits.

Digital Innovation SME at Shell, Jun 2019 - Jan 2023 · 3 yrs 8 mos, Bangalore, As Digital Innovation Lead for construction and engineering, I developed and deployed impactful digital solutions, earning recognition through performance shares. I created an innovation funnel, engaging over 40 global partners to identify and pilot market-ready digital solutions, leading to six pilots and two global deployments. Key initiatives included a construction safety dashboard using AI and drone imagery, now globally replicated, and scalable deployment of site visualization tools across multiple sites. I also consolidated digital best practices into a structured framework, designed digital upskilling for civil engineers, and defined digital delivery plans to enhance project execution and handover.

Civil Engineer at Shell, Jul 2017 - Jun 2019 · 1 y 11 mo, Bangalore, I led front-end activities for offshore and onshore projects, including contract specs, technology plans, and feasibility assessments, earning special recognition. Key projects included the Crux gas project in Australia, offshore T&T Manatee, and onshore gas backfill in Sakhalin. I provided technical analysis using tools like USFOS, ABAQUS, and STAAD, delivering critical assessments on asset integrity for extreme load cases, seismic resilience, and design verifications. Additionally, I streamlined internal standards through network visualization, consolidating 14 documents into one, and improved competitive alignment with international codes for enhanced engineering standards
