I possess a deep understanding of design principles, construction techniques, and building codes, allowing me to create functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces. Moreover, I have experience in coordinating with clients, contractors, and subcontractors to ensure the successful implementation of architectural plans. In addition to my architectural background, I have over a decade of experience as a project manager. I have overseen projects from start to finish, managing resources, schedules, and budgets effectively. I am well-versed in project planning, risk management, and quality control, ensuring that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the satisfaction of stakeholders. My project management skills enable me to handle complex projects and navigate challenges with ease. Furthermore, I have considerable experience in facilities management, which involves the efficient operation and maintenance of buildings and their infrastructure. I have been responsible for managing facility budgets, coordinating maintenance and repairs, and ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards. I understand the importance of creating and maintaining a safe, comfortable, and functional environment for occupants. My academic background, years of professional experience, and passion for creating exceptional spaces make me a versatile professional.
