About 

I am a dynamic and ambitious architect with three years’ experience in various projects – mainly private single house and mixed use buildings. From 2009 till 2011 I taught at an Architecture Faculty in Portugal (city of Coimbra). Since graduating from the Vasco da Gama University School in Portugal with a Master’s degree in Architecture, I have worked as a freelancer architect. From February till April (2012) I worked at atarchitectsny office in New York.

 

As part of my ambitions as an architect I’m always looking for a better knowledge of the culture in other countries, and also the different ways of thinking and make Architecture. That way it allows me to growth and also improves my skills as an architect. I seek for an enthusiastic work, where I can develop my capacities and enlarge my knowledge as an architect. With that, I'm hoping to integrate a multi-disciplinary team where my overseas experience coupled with my artistic skills and management experience could lead to achieving a degree of excellence that will be visible forever in the form of a building.

I possess impeccable technical and computer skills with advanced knowledge of Auto CAD, Microsoft Office, Adobe, Archicad, Artlantis and other graphics communication programs. Good with hand sketching and familiar with BIM. In my recent job my generally tasks are preliminary design concepts and prepare presentations, prepare architectural drawings, schedules and specifications plus tender documentation.

 

My attention to detail and excellent problem-solving skills ensure that every project I work on is done accurately and to the highest possible standard. I am comfortable working as part of a team. My verbal communication skills and positive attitude make me an effective communicator with all the persons I work with.
