The designs a concept of various building and infrastructure projects in the country and the world, Led myself to study more of engineering and I chose engineering as my career path. Beyond the Structural designs and constructions, I was interested in applying artistic and architectural concepts with engineering in my studies and projects. I was able to get an initial experience of designing and constructing soon after my Ordinary Level exams in a road project, as a supervisor. Also, I was able to get some experience from the construction of our own house from the design stage to the completion. Furthermore, soon after my Higher National Diploma, I started my own construction firm with the collaboration of few other colleagues. With that I was able to obtain a wonderful experience of constructions from the concept development to the completion and organization behavior, management as well. Civil engineering is full of innovative trends and I wanted to apply some eco-friendly, natural looking and mostly environment friendly designs in constructions. I was studying and researching of many constructions done with some architectural values with a minimum harm to the environment. As I believe, engineer also should have a better designing skill as well as the architect since he is the person makes the dream designs a reality. Nevertheless, as well as mathematics, theories, methods, an engineer should have an artistic sense, creative ideas and innovative skills. I was able to complete my Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering and got an opportunity to work as the engineer. With the knowledge and the experience, I gained, I thought of continuing my studies further and to introduce some new concepts in engineering someday, as solutions for the rapid harm on the environment due to constructions. My ambition is to become a Designer as my profession, and to be an inventor, a nature loving professional with a real eager to see the constructions are going forward in a green world.
