About 

For thirteen years, I have been responsible in all aspects of Architectural design, from schematic design, design development, contract documents, and construction administration. I have ample experience in subdivision planning, structural detailing, and performing site surveys. I am competitive in any version of AutoCAD in producing 2D, 3D, and rendering, Sketch-up, Photoshop, Revit, and ability to learn new software with ease. I have knowledge in CAD managements and have handled several staff in CAD drawing productions. Projects involvements were single to multi-family residences, commercial / retail, and community facility buildings. I have knowledge with the Zoning resolution, Building Codes, and building application process for New York projects.
