I've always been in the quest of finding energy efficient solutions to treat water, wastewater and stormwater runoff. My degrees in Chemical and Environmental engineering and years of experience in designing treatment facilities has only increased my thirst for new technologies that can better suit and meet our future water demands. Awareness is key to water conservation. Whether it is a wastewater professional or a common man, I believe everyone can equally contribute towards saving water and help reduce pollutants loading by making conscious choices in water use and their discharge at residence and workplace.
Apart from my professional interests, my hobby of 10 years and counting, revolves around water too. I'm a saltwater aquarium enthusiast. My 100 gallons deep sand bed reef system houses corals and characters from the movie "Finding Nemo". My best pass time is cooking and I am an adventurous foodie.
I enjoy the outdoors but love spending time with my toddler son Krishh and my wife Pranitha at our home sweet home.
