Experienced Cost Estimator and Planning Engineer

" I am a detail-oriented and analytically driven professional with a multidisciplinary background spanning cost estimation, project planning, and banking operations. With hands-on experience in managing infrastructure costs, forecasting project budgets, and aligning timelines with financial targets, I bring a well-rounded approach to program and asset management.

Currently working as a Cost Estimator, I specialize in evaluating infrastructure investments and delivering accurate, data-backed cost assessments that inform key project decisions. Previously, I worked as a Planning Engineer, where I was responsible for scheduling, resource allocation, and coordinating with technical teams to ensure successful project execution.

My earlier experience in the banking sector has equipped me with strong financial analysis capabilities and a deep understanding of compliance, risk management, and client-oriented service — all essential in fast-paced, stakeholder-heavy environments.

With a strong ability to work across functions, manage ambiguity, and communicate complex data clearly, I am eager to contribute to projects that drive infrastructure growth, financial efficiency, and long-term impact. "
