• Conducting advanced research in Physics-Informed Machine Learning for soil mechanics, focusing on shear strength parameter prediction and constitutive modeling.
• Providing freelance geotechnical consulting services, including borelog preparation, bearing capacity reviews, foundation design verification, and technical report finalization.
• Actively upskilling in AI/ML through Kamyaab Freelancer Program and Honhaar Jawan Program, developing proprietary hybrid stacking ensemble models for soil property estimation.

• Audited and validated 50+ geotechnical investigation reports, cross-verifying borehole logs, laboratory index properties, and SPT-N values against site-specific geological profiles.
• Reviewed bearing capacity computations, piling calculations (end-bearing and skin friction), and foundation designs for projects including Quetta Quesco Power Project and Khurram Tangi Dam.
• Conducted comprehensive technical audits for M2 Motorway Maintenance, Koh Karakaram Highway (KKH), DHA Phase-V Roads Rehabilitation, Gujjar Nallah Construction, and other infrastructure projects, ensuring EPC/FIDIC compliance.
• Finalized audit reports covering structural concrete designs, highway geometric profiles, catchment drainage systems, and foundation stability for multi-billion rupee projects.
• Evaluated safety protocols, contractor Job Mix Formulas (JMFs), and material submittals against NHA Manual, project specifications, and quality standards.

• Managed subsurface investigation programs for major road projects, overseeing Standard Penetration Test (SPT) boring, undisturbed tube sampling, and in-situ field density testing to establish accurate subgrade stratigraphy.
• Ensured contractor compliance with client-provided foundation designs and pavement subgrade specifications, verifying material quality, gradation, and construction methods against approved Job Mix Formulas (JMFs).
• Supervised flexible pavement construction layers (subgrade, subbase, aggregate base, and asphalt wearing surface courses), ensuring strict adherence to design thickness, compaction, and material specifications.
• Implemented quality control procedures including Field Density Tests (FDT), asphalt core sampling, California Bearing Ratio (CBR), and Proctor compaction testing to verify compaction efforts and pavement thickness.
• Vetted and verified contractor Interim Payment Certificates (IPCs), reviewed invoices, and validated check requests for work initiation, progress payments, and milestone completion.
• Managed cross-drainage culverts and municipal drainage networks, ensuring proper stormwater management and preventing waterlogging on project sites.

• Executed intensive core logging and soil composition mapping for earth-fill dam foundation, identifying critical weak zones, seepage paths, and sub-surface geological anomalies.
• Calculated earth-fill material suitability and bearing capacities for dam embankments, optimizing cut-and-fill strategy to maintain structural integrity against hydraulic loads.
• Utilized Geo-Studio and Plaxis 2D to model dam performance, seepage analysis, and slope stability, identifying potential hazards and ensuring structural safety.
• Managed and coordinated site team, delegating daily tasks and overseeing technical activities to maintain quality assurance and meet project deadlines.
• Assisted in finalizing geotechnical closure reports, synthesizing site investigation data, laboratory test results, and foundation treatment measures into cohesive documentation.
