Work Experience

Indian Oil Corporation Ltd I Senior Project Manager, Telecommunication & Instrumentation (Mar’24-Present)
Project Manager, Telecommunication & Instrumentation (Mar’20-Mar’24)
Assistant Manager, Telecommunication & Instrumentation (May’17-Mar’20) | Noida

  • Concept to commissioning of captive telecommunications network in underground petroleum pipeline projects.
  • Successfully completed more than 20 telecommunication projects in underground petroleum pipelines including multiproduct (6000 Km), LPG (600 Km), Natural Gas Pipelines (1400 Km) and Control System project for ATF pipelines (Lucknow Airport).
  • Ideated and implemented new business proposal for leasing dark fibers of OFC network. The pilot project has fetched more than 200 million INR for Chennai Bangalore pipeline. Revenue Potential of more than 5 billion INR over a period of 10 years for IOCL in leasing business has been identified. 
  • Telecommunications network for Indo-Nepal multiproduct pipeline. Designed Nepal’s First Automated Petroleum Terminal to be commissioned by IOCL at Amlekhgunj depot as a part of project management consultancy. 
  • Implemented first ever ‘Green’ unmanned locations in a petroleum pipeline to achieve Net Zero Goal as a part of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG).

Following independent projects were completed and handed over to RRCAT:

Optimal design of controller for buck derived converters using quadratic performance indices:
The closed loop performance in time domain has been tested for a buck converter designed to stabilize a 1KW laser unit using quadratic performance indices on MATLAB-Simulink platform and compared with that of a PID controller designed in frequency domain for identical buck converter. 
Home Automation using vibration spikes of cell phones:
Designed and developed home automation using vibration spikes of cell phones and integrated it with an embedded system.
