About
About:
I am a registered Professional Engineer (PE) in Pakistan with over 15 years of post-qualification experience specializing in utility-scale Primary Substation (up to 220kV) and Power Distribution Engineering. Throughout my career, I have successfully designed, audited, and managed multi-million dollar electrical transmission, distribution, and smart grid automation projects for national utilities and international developers.
My core value lies in delivering high-fidelity power system studies, grid-connection compliance dossiers, and automation-ready substation layouts that strictly adhere to IEC, IEEE, and NEPRA standards. Whether you are looking to integrate utility-scale solar PV into existing grids, run complex load flow and short-circuit simulations, or design advanced substation protection schemes, I provide precision-engineered digital assets that eliminate on-site errors and reduce technical T&D losses.
What I bring to your project:
Elite capabilities reviewing in PSS®E, Synergi Electric, and ETAP.
Expert utility routing and GIS-integrated asset mapping using ESRI ArcGIS.
End-to-end electrical specifications, material testing protocols, and independent third-party manufacturing audits.
I am dedicated to helping developers, EPC contractors, and global utilities design robust, future-proof electrical grids. Let’s collaborate to turn your concepts into high-performance grid realities.
