Summary
A senior architect and project leader with over 15 years of experience in design, supervision, and project execution. I've built a dual foundation in both consultancy and contracting, which enables me to understand every stage of a project from concept to delivery. My career spans multiple sectors, including education, healthcare, religious, residential, hospitality, industrial, and sports, serving both government and private clients. I'm known for aligning architectural, structural, MEP, and interior disciplines seamlessly, with deep knowledge in Primavera P6, Revit, Navisworks, and BIM workflows. I am fluent in managing multidisciplinary teams, writing executive reports, evaluating contractor performance, resolving disputes, and negotiating contracts-all while adapting to shifting project scales and expectations.

Leadership Vision
I lead projects with methodical thinking, and teams with a culture built on clarity and performance. I believe that large-scale projects are not just delivered by resources, but by a management ecosystem that ensures integration, prevents overlap, and resolves delays before they happen. I fuse analysis tools, BIM technologies, and KPI metrics to create environments that make decisions based on insight-not instinct or routine. A team that knows its role and impact will produce a project that speaks for itself-no reports needed. And I build such teams: from site to plan, and from engineer to executive.
