About 

Design and BIM methodology is my fundamental interest in the architectural and urbanism field. I am interested in sharing my knowledge and experience with companies involved in the BIM, architectural, and construction industries.

I have several years of experience in BIM methodology as a Revit modeler and BIM coordinator with a deep understanding and extensive knowledge in different construction stages from design, building, and operation of buildings.

I have been working as a consultant in Architectural and Urban Design. Also, I have experience as a construction supervisor for multiple projects. In addition, I have more than six years of experience as a BIM/CAD Instructor and Architectural design lecturer in different universities.
