As a competent Architect and Deigner with over 4.5 years of experience, I excel in bridging the gap between visionary design and practical execution. My background in architectural design, project management, and construction engineering allows me to lead complex projects from concept through completion. I am skilled in BIM (Building Information Modeling), sustainable design, and building codes compliance, ensuring that each project meets the highest standards of innovation and functionality.
My ability to integrate stakeholder requirements, manage cross-functional teams, and oversee project timelines and budgets has consistently resulted in successful outcomes. Passionate about creating impactful, user-centered spaces, I am dedicated to leveraging my expertise in design development, technical coordination, and quality assurance to deliver outstanding architectural and engineering solutions.
