About 

I studied for my Master of Architecture degree at the University at Buffalo. I studied with the Ecological Practices Graduate Research Group. This research group focused on understanding the opportunities and responsibilities of creating a more sustainable, healthy, vibrant and resilient world. Through many case studies, and practice with energy simulation programs, I had successfully completed several projects including an administrative building, a residential, an office building and a local culture facility. I am a very hard worker and a highly self-motivated individual, who co-work well as I am a team player.

Before coming to the United States for my Master of Architecture degree I severed in the Engineering Department of South Korea military for two years, and I also worked another three years there as an officer.During that time, I supervised constructing buildings, like dormitories and office buildings. I truly believe that I received good training while working on projects of various scales. I also had an internship in the Angkor Architectural firm for about one year. I gained a wide variety of skills that include the design process and design of interactive graphic software such as Auto-CAD and Photoshop. In addition, I conducted architectural projects involving interior, renovation, remodeling and competitions. For these reason, I can make a direct and immediate contribution to Architecture firm.
