About 

I consider myself as someone who loves to explore, investigate and expand his knowledge in an attempt to answer different questions.
In one adjective, I would describe myself as a “curious” person. I learned this attribute from a personal hero, A. Einstein, who said: “The important thing is not to stop questioning”, a quote that I have  turned into my life’s philosophy.
I believe that contemporary architecture is not an individual undertaking, rather a collaborative endeavor in which exchanging of ideas, sharing of experience and interaction of different personalities of a team are not just keywords, but a methodology resulting in success.
The above comes as a result of my personal experience at the Master in Collective housing where I had the opportunity to work in an international environment comprising of different cultures, traditions, ideas and work methodologies.
As a team leader, I managed to organize the group and optimize the efficiency in a time constraint to achieve best results. This proved the most challenging in view of tight delivery schedules (less than one week) when the team was working under extreme pressure.
Dedication to hard work, an open mind and an overall pleasant attitude, are three qualities that guided me through the challenges of providing a successful end result.
On a personal level, curiosity pushed me to explore architecture from different perspectives and disciplines. My delving into Photography and Cinema culminated in the opportunity to show my works at important exhibitions such as Biennial of Architecture of Venice etc.
My knowledge and experience allow me a flexibility to work in different teams and in varying environments. My desire to learn and pursuit of continuous skill improvement give me a competitive advantage. Lastly, my dedication to work and sense of responsibility make me an asset for your company.
