I am an architect who just graduated with a postgraduate degree in architecture. As a professional in my field, I aim to deliver projects that are innovative and at the same time, sensitive to social context. My recent work experience helped me understand the intricacies of multiple designs - residential, commercial, institutional etc. My specific interests extend to the areas of parametric design, material technologies and their intersection with the sociocultural paradigms that influence architecture. My work aims to implement these thought processes against larger global issues.Going forward, I seek more avenues to apply my current skills, get increased exposure to more projects and continue to meet inspiring people.
