Why This
Site Exists.
No resume. No portfolio. Just engineering thinking, made public.
I'm a civil engineer working in construction. My day-to-day involves erecting bridges and viaducts, managing temporary structures, and figuring out how to put large, heavy, expensive things in the right place without breaking anything — including people.
I write here because writing forces clarity. When I work through a problem on paper — really work through it — I understand it differently than when I just do it. This site is that paper, made public.
A lot of engineering knowledge in India lives in heads, not in writing. The experienced engineer who knows how a particular gantry behaves in cross-wind, or which type of falsework fails first on soft ground — that knowledge often doesn't get written down. When they retire, it goes with them.
I'm not trying to fix that problem. But I can put my own small piece of it in writing, in a form that's useful to someone standing on a site somewhere trying to figure something out.
What you'll find here
- Articles — long-form writing on construction methods, erection engineering, and infrastructure in India.
- Notes — short definitions and explanations. Quick references, not deep dives.
- Opinions — occasionally, clearly labelled as such.
What you won't find
A resume. A portfolio. A "hire me" section. If you're interested in working together, email me — the link is in the footer.
No schedule. Just articles when they're done.
