Independent Consultant

About

I work on the development and commercialization of advanced technologies that improve the reliability and performance of critical water assets. My experience spans both the utility and technology sides of the industry: At Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA), I worked on research and development initiatives related to desalination systems, water quality monitoring, and pipeline infrastructure. This included developing pilot-scale testing environments, prototyping, applying advanced sensing technologies, and collaborating with operational teams to address real infrastructure challenges. At PIPECARE Group, I focused on the development of inline pipeline inspection (ILI) technologies for water and oil & gas infrastructure. My work involved leading multidisciplinary engineering efforts to bring new inspection solutions from concept through prototyping, validation, and commercial deployment. I am particularly interested in collaborating with technology developers and engineering companies working on innovative solutions for water infrastructure, desalination, and pipeline diagnostics, and supporting the deployment and commercialization of such technologies within the Middle East. Areas of focus: • Pipeline inspection & infrastructure diagnostics • Water infrastructure technologies • Desalination-related innovation and monitoring systems • Product development from concept to deployment • Commercialization of engineering technologies
