Background

Engineer. Educator.
Mentor.

I am a Civil Engineer, Construction Manager, and Academic with 10 years of experience spanning infrastructure delivery, higher education, and digital learning. I hold an MSc in Civil Engineering with Distinction from the University of West London and a BE Civil Engineering with Merit from Gujarat Technological University.

Currently serving as Lecturer in Engineering at the University of East London through Malvern International PLC, I deliver modules in Construction Technology, Project Management, Sustainability, and Applied Engineering Maths, as well as NCUK Foundation Year programmes preparing international students for degree-level study.

As Research Lead at the University of West London, my work focuses on the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus and Digital Twin development for sustainable infrastructure — integrating IoT and AI for real-time wetland monitoring. Industry experience includes managing £45M+ construction projects across the UK and India with full HSE compliance.
