Personal bio

As a Chartered Quantity Surveyor (MRICS, MAIQS, CQS), I bring over 16 +years of international experience in commercial management, contract administration, and cost engineering across high-profile infrastructure and mega projects in the Middle East. I am passionate about driving successful project outcomes, optimizing cost
efficiency, and ensuring contract compliance.

Currently, I lead cost management and contract administration for large-scale developments, reporting directly
to project directors, and guiding multidisciplinary teams through all project phases. My expertise spans pre-
and post-contract management, risk mitigation, value engineering, claims resolution, and stakeholder engagement.

Key strengths include:
- Proven leadership in managing commercial teams on multi-million dollar projects.
- Deep knowledge of contract law, dispute resolution, and change management.
- Strong analytical, negotiation, and communication skills.
- Track record of delivering value-for-money and exceeding client expectations.

My academic background includes a BSc (Hons) in Quantity Surveying from the University of Salford and a Postgraduate diploma in Construction Law and Dispute Resolution from the University of Moratuwa. I am certified by leading institutions such as Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors.

I am always open to connecting with industry professionals and exploring new opportunities to contribute my expertise to impactful projects.
