About 

My name is Antoine DEFINS, 27. I graduated this year as an architect in Paris, France, and I am also a building engineer.

I have 1 year of professional experience in architecture agencies (drawing projects, finding contractors, dealing with the client)

I have 1 year of professional experience in engineering (managing building sites).

I have an international experience in Tokyo, Japan, where I attended an exchange student (master) program at the Tokyo Institute of Technology.

I speak English (fluent), French (mother tongue), Spanish (good working knowledge), and I’m beginner in Japanese.

I can process any usual task as an architect, such as drawing, making layouts, and also following the realization of a project on a building site.

I am available immediately for any mission in an architecture or building company in the US.
