Engineering Assistant at Government of Andhra Pradesh (2019-10 – Present)

• Orchestrated 15+ concurrent development and transformation initiatives across 5+ government departments (PR&RD, SSA, RWS, Irrigation, APSHCL), delivering ₹20+ Cr with ~90% on-time completion impacting 25,000+ beneficiaries
• Diagnosed and resolved systemic bottlenecks e.g., identified resource bottleneck constraining two concurrent school infrastructure projects; escalated beyond immediate authority to divisional level and secured formal Government Order authorizing cross-project resource transfer via inter-committee MoU, preventing wastage, restoring both projects to schedule and scaling the solution across other locations
• Stakeholder Management e.g., housing scheme (AWAS Phase 1, 125 beneficiaries) derailed after broken political promise, with payment deadline closing and dependent projects at risk; I worked each stakeholder group individually to restart construction and delivered complete and on time
• Crisis Management e.g., a bridge washed out in major flood, I organized an emergency path restoration (JCBs + local labor) to restore access for ~250 houses within 24 hours; days later, when 6 civilians got stranded in rising floodwaters, escalated through Collector/MLA to secure IAF helicopter rescue—all extracted safely
• Community Engagement & Program Adoption e.g., led awareness campaigns and training sessions for YogAndhra and SASA programs, building citizen understanding and driving adoption
• Managed project execution across parallel workstreams: directed 16+ staff on recurring multi-department surveys, tracked milestones/risks/KPIs and prepared escalation summaries for senior administrators; supported cost estimation and budget monitoring to ensure alignment with approved financial objectives
• Collaborated with government officials, contractors and citizens to gather requirements, identify implementation challenges and translate operational needs into structured execution plans
