About 

Designer architect with high interest in the building environmental design and focus on continue working, researching and developing the green construction in the Modern Project.

I understand the architecture as a result of the addition of different field knowledge, therefore the professional experience acquired in both fields of the architecture (construction and design), helped me to continue growing in my career.

I consider myself a dynamic hard working young international architect with strong adaptation capability.
