About 

Hey there!

My name is Nguyen Bao Tran Duong, and I'm not your average architectural design student. I'm all about creating spaces that are not only functional but also incredibly beautiful. Plus, I'm a natural-born leader and problem solver, so I'm always ready to tackle any challenge that comes my way.

Right now, I'm on the hunt for a FULLY REMOTE position as either an architectural design intern or a junior architectural designer. I'm itching to gain practical experience and make some waves in the architectural world.

Before diving into the world of architecture, I was a Pizza Chef, and let me tell you, I know how to whip up a mean pizza! Plus, I learned some pretty nifty skills like inventory management and time management. So, you could say I'm well-rounded!

I'm always down to learn new techniques and processes to enhance my skills. And when it comes to customer service, I'm all about keeping things professional and calm. I'm a pro at making decisions and solving problems, and I'm always striving for excellence.

When I'm not designing or baking pizzas, you can find me pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Architecture from Northern Virginia Community College, which I plan to complete in 2025. I'm a whiz at project organization, team management, and communications, so I'm well-prepared to excel in the field of architectural design.

My commitment to excellence is evident in my work as a Pizza Maker at Wegmans. I make sure those pizzas come out of the oven at the perfect temperature and time to avoid any burns. And I'm always on top of inventory, using the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) method to prevent spoilage. Plus, I love training new employees!

I'm stoked to bring my skills, experience, and passion to my future architectural design projects. I'm all about teamwork, customer service, and getting the job done right. So, let's create some amazing spaces together!
