Akshath Reddy Udumula, Mission critical construction, from the jobsite to the platform.

I deliver data centers and other mission critical buildings, across MEP, commissioning and sustainability. And I build the software and AI tools that make the next one faster.

How I work

I spot what’s slowing a project down, then build the fix. Sometimes that is a better coordination process. Sometimes it is software.

Experience

Every side of the project. Owner, builder, designer and founder.

Four years across data centers, campus infrastructure, research and my own firm.

01Sep 2026 to Dec 2026 · Atlanta, GA

Georgia Tech

Program Management Intern, Infrastructure and Operations

On the owner’s side, I track commissioning and go live readiness across 300+ campus MEP, utility and facility projects. I moved 6+ shadow spreadsheets into one SharePoint source of truth and built 4 Power BI dashboards, cutting manual reporting time by about 70%.

  • 300+Active projects
  • 50+RFIs tracked
  • 4Power BI dashboards

Webcor Builders

Project Engineer Intern, MEPF

On a $2.6B project, I owned the Fire Command Center and the 3MW generator room, taking 7 trades through commissioning, IST and BMS checkout with zero punch list carryover. I caught 12 BIM conflicts before the field and 2 arc flash hazards before energization.

Graduate Research and Teaching Assistant

For a data center operator, I research value engineering on N+1 and 2N redundancy, and found a 15% lifecycle cost reduction and 12% schedule savings. As TA to Scott Cahalan of Smith, Gambrell & Russell, I built a contract review framework now taught to 45+ students.

Nandu Associates

Project Architect, Data Centers

I coordinated the 30MW Laurus hyperscale data center from design through preconstruction. BIM clash detection resolved 26% of MEP conflicts before design lock, and layout changes improved space efficiency by 23%.

AR Infratech

Founder and CEO

I ran my own firm through the full project lifecycle of an 18 story residential tower and a 29,500 sq ft commercial building, from RFP to closeout. I resolved 12 contract disputes and delivered both on time and within budget.
