A Geologist with a proven track record in applied geology, blasting operations, and site management. Currently working at Alayuni Investment and Contracting Company, Saudi Arabia, where I have successfully led and executed multiple large-scale projects, including:
First-ever underground blast in the region using Electronic Detonators (EDD)
First surface blast with EDD in the Trojena projects (NEOM)
First RF blast at The Vault using the EF system – a regional milestone
Awarded the Gold Medal in BS Applied Geology, recognizing academic excellence and technical expertise. Proficient in advanced blasting and vibration analysis software such as Viewshot 3D, enabling safe and optimized blast designs tailored to project requirements.
Recognized for strong field leadership, innovation in blasting techniques, and the ability to deliver high-quality results under challenging conditions. Passionate about advancing safe, efficient, and sustainable solutions in mining, tunneling, and mega-construction projects.
I contribute to society by applying my geological expertise to support the safe and sustainable development of infrastructure and energy projects. Through advanced blasting techniques, vibration control, and geological reporting, I help ensure that projects are executed with precision, safety, and minimal environmental impact.
I take pride in being part of pioneering milestones, such as introducing Electronic Detonators (EDD) and RF blasting systems in the region, which not only enhance efficiency but also set new safety and technological standards for future projects.
Beyond technical contributions, I believe in knowledge sharing, continuous learning, and mentoring junior colleagues so that the next generation of geologists and engineers can carry forward innovative and responsible practices.
UAJK played a foundational role in shaping my career and professional outlook. It provided me with not only strong academic knowledge in applied geology but also the discipline, research skills, and practical exposure needed to excel in the field. The gui
