I'm a NY State Registered Architect with over 20 years of professional experience. I’ve held various positions in architectural and engineering firms over this time. My experience includes a diverse range of projects mainly in New York, along with Singapore and India.
I have had the pleasure of working with some great architectural firms like Brennan Beer Gorman Architects and Lee Harris Pomeroy Architects among others. My work experience ranges from core and shell and big box retail, to transportation and rehabilitation projects. I also have significant field experience.
Over the years, I have worked on every phase of an architectural project, right from project inception to project delivery. In the various roles, I have particularly been involved in design development, space planning, construction documentation, extensive detailing, compiling specifications and preparing bid packages.
My main projects include The Gateway Center, Bronx; AirTrain terminal at Jamaica, Queens and the New York State Insurance Fund, NYC.
