Leading with a LEED AP BD+C credential, my recent tenure at Eagle Hills Ethiopia focused on steering a 36-hectare master plan development. Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, my role involved managing extensive residential projects and ensuring designs met sustainable building standards. Strategic value engineering initiatives were key in aligning project execution with budget constraints.
The experience granted me a deep understanding of construction processes and the nuances of representing clients in large-scale developments. Our collective efforts have resulted in efficient, environmentally responsible living spaces that resonate with modern urban needs. Committed to excellence, I am dedicated to advancing the field through thoughtful design and project management.
