Hello, my name is Proloy Majumder.

I hold Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering , 21 months PGDM degree in Project and Construction Management , AI generalist certified , and I am currently pursuing PMP certification from PMI. Throughout my career, I have worked on large-scale central, state, private, and internationally funded projects, including:

• Sewage treatment plants
• Trunk sewer networks

I also contributed to national highway projects, flyovers, and multi-story residential and commercial buildings in the early part of my career. Currently, I serve as a Senior Resident Engineer in a FIDIC-based contract environment, managing:

• Construction supervision
• Project planning
• Contract administration
• Cost control
• Claims management
• Stakeholder coordination

while increasingly applying digital and AI tools to enhance project controls and reporting efficiency Notable Programs

• Pune River Pollution Abatement Program: "I supported the execution and monitoring of 11 sewage treatment plants with a combined capacity of 369 MLD, ensuring effective schedule control, contract compliance, and performance monitoring."
• Kolkata Environmental Improvement Program: "I managed construction monitoring and contract administration of 174 kilometers of pipeline networks, 43,000 meter connections, and a 40 MLD sewage treatment plant, contributing to reducing non-revenue water from 45% to 15%."

Operations & Maintenance -In operation and maintenance, I improved customer complaint resolution compliance from 60% to 95% and enhanced water supply reliability to alternate-day supply through systematic performance monitoring and process improvements.

By combining my extensive infrastructure experience with emerging AI capabilities, I aim to deliver smarter, more efficient, and future-ready infrastructure projects in senior leadership roles

Hi, I'm Tina Bates Pedrick and I currently serve as the Manager of Education at a national trade association in the Washington, DC area, where I lead educational programs, conferences, webinars, and learning initiatives that support professional growth. Growing up, I wanted to be an educator, and in many ways that calling has remained constant throughout my career. Whether in education, training, coaching, volunteer service, or project management, I have always been passionate about helping people learn, develop, and succeed.

What drew me to project management was the opportunity to bring people, ideas, and resources together to accomplish meaningful goals. What has kept me in the profession is the ability to make a positive impact while helping teams navigate challenges and achieve success. I enjoy using tools such as Asana and Microsoft Teams, and I'm especially interested in learning more about how artificial intelligence can enhance project planning, collaboration, and decision-making.

Beyond my professional work, I am an avid volunteer and believe strongly in giving back to my community through service, mentorship, and leadership. My proudest accomplishment is my family. I have had the privilege of supporting three remarkable young adults as they pursue higher education and professional careers. My son is a business consultant and entrepreneur, my daughter is earning a dual degree in Business Management and Philosophy with a minor in Law, and my stepdaughter is completing her degree in Strategic Communications with a focus in Sports Management. Their success means more to me than any title or project I've managed, and watching them grow into capable, purpose-driven adults has been one of the greatest rewards of my life. I believe leadership is about creating opportunities for others to thrive and celebrating their achievements along the way.

That philosophy has guided both my personal and professional journey. As I work toward earning my PMP certification, I also hope to return to my doctoral studies in Educational Administration and Leadership. I remain committed to lifelong learning, servant leadership, volunteerism, and helping others discover and reach their full potential. Ultimately, I hope to be remembered not for standing in the spotlight, but for being someone who helped others shine.

Olá, saudações a todos os apaixonados pelo gerenciamento de projetos! Meu nome é Juliana Ferreira, sou Engenheira Civil com experiência em gestão e fiscalização de obras públicas, contratos, planejamento e acompanhamento de projetos de infraestrutura.

Desde a infância, já demonstrava uma grande paixão pelo universo da engenharia e da construção. Naquela época, eu fazia maquetes de cidades para brincar de carrinho com meus irmãos e, assim, passando horas criando ruas, edifícios e diferentes cenários. Além disso, a primeira vez que vi uma planta baixa em um anúncio de venda de apartamentos no jornal, fiquei completamente fascinado. A partir desse momento, comecei a desenhar minhas próprias plantas para brincar e imaginar novos espaços. Como resultado, aos seis anos de idade, meu quarto parecia um verdadeiro showroom de imobiliário! Acho que muitos aqui também brincavam assim.

Atualmente, entre as ferramentas de gerenciamento de projetos que mais utilizam estão Microsoft Project, Excel e metodologias baseadas no PMBOK. Além disso, tenho grande interesse em aprofundar meus conhecimentos em abordagens ágeis, especialmente Scrum, bem como em ferramentas de gestão colaborativa. O que me atrai para a área de gerenciamento de projetos foi, principalmente, a possibilidade de integrar pessoas, processos e objetivos para gerar resultados de valor. Por outro lado, o que me mantém nessa área é o aprendizado contínuo, a oportunidade de resolver problemas complexos e, sobretudo, a satisfação de ver projetos sendo concluídos com sucesso e gerando resultados positivos.

Minha maior conquista profissional tem sido construir uma trajetória na gestão de obras e contratos públicos, contribuindo para a execução de projetos que beneficiam diretamente a sociedade. Recentemente, também concluí uma pós-graduação em Gerenciamento de Projetos, um passo importante para meu desenvolvimento profissional. Por fim, estou muito feliz por fazer parte desta comunidade e espero aprender, compartilhar experiências, trocar conhecimentos e me conectar com profissionais de diferentes áreas. Obrigada e sucesso a todos!
