About 

I am a sociable and good looking Architect with almost 15 years’ experience, in regular basis, in all stages until the tender in every type of projects but more focused in residential projects. I am a hard worker in this profession that I love and for which I "fight" to have the best results, achieving the goals.
Lately I am working abroad in Angola being this an international and multicultural experience where I have the opportunity to work with brazilians, malaysians, filippinos and chinese. I would welcome the opportunity to grow until I achieve my goals in professional life.
