About 

Recent graduate from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) with a Master of Science in Architecture (MSc. Arch) I am a young architect looking for an interesting and challenging jobs in international studio.

I have followed a diverse and gainful path in both architectural concept and construction, as well as project development. With academic works ranging from residential and public works in Switzerland and France, to large-scale residential neighborhoods in China and commercial urban centers in Africa, I have developed a broad international perspective on urban and architectural issues around the globe. 

I believe that the essence of architecture is about entrepreneurship. I do not consider my professional career to be anything else than entrepreneurship. I have already participated to several architecture contests. Those competitions, internal or external to the academic context, provided me such sensations that it continuously feeds my will for more entrepreneurial challenges. I am nowhere close to stop this dynamic, I am always looking to find an other activities. I paint during my free time and I design Jewelry ring. I am passionate about graphic design and I am currently working with a team of scientist to make the design of a med-tech app call Smana. 

I play rugby for now 9 years and I am sailing and skiing since my childhood. Hiking and discovering new places and new ways to construct around the world are my favorite activities.
