About 

 I am a Peruvian architect with 8 years of experience in a variety of studios. My last job was at Gerner Kronick + Valcarcel, Architects, DPC. Where I worked for about 2 years.

I am highly skilled in 3D design software such as Sketch Up, 3D Max, Rhino and Revit, and I am proficient in AutoCAD, Vector Works and Microsoft office. I am also a member of the “COLEGIO DE ARQUITECTOS DEL PERU” #14535 since I graduated from Universidad Peruana de Ciencias – UPC. Now I am looking for an opportunity where I can apply my skills in a new office here in New York, where I live since 2012.

My experience spans a broad range of projects and my skill set is diverse. Most recently, I oversaw the design and preliminary construction of quite a few important projects in NYC, like the new office of Humans Resources Administration – New York, at the World Trade Center – Tower 4. As part of the team, I was commissioned to develop de construction documents, site inspections and specialist coordination.

Back in Peru, my proudest achievement as of late was the design and BIM development of the Headquarters building of COCA COLA Company with Seinfeld Architects, an award winning studio in Lima. My role included the daily coordination with specialists, participation in all the client meetings with the General Manager of Andean Coca Cola Company and overall design. This project was in my hands from the very first sketch, it won a private competitions between ten studios, and it was approved by the Lima Building Department when I left the office two years ago to move to New York.

Besides my skills and experience as an architect, I worked as a drywall installer in the state of Virginia a few years ago, also in a furniture factory, where I learned the fundamentals of furniture design and building processes. I also worked in “Escape Studio” www.escape.com.pe, a landscape architecture studio, and at the “State Department of Housing, Construction and Sanitation” as a CAD Technician. Finally, I believe I can bring an international and multilingual perspective that could be valuable for clients and the office.
