About 

I am an Architect with more than six years of experience in designing, planning, and executing residential, commercial, educational, cultural, public, recreational, health facilities, and landscape projects.

Besides, contracting renovation, refurbishment, and reinforcement projects.

I developed extensive experience in all phases of the project management life cycle and turnkey projects.

High skills in converting the clients’ vision into real successful projects and implementing Sustainable Development Goals, and different accessibility systems.

Adding to that, I am experienced in normal, complex and mega projects having the ability to work on own initiative and as part of a team, strong problem solving, project management skills, attention to details, and adaptability whether working behind the desk or on-site.

My passion for my career led me to accumulate my knowledge by studying several courses related to Project Management and Engineering software.
