About
I am a highly experienced CAD Draughtsperson with over 14 years of hands-on experience in architectural and engineering drawing production. My expertise lies primarily in AutoCAD, which I have mastered through both professional practice and advanced training. I hold a Professional AutoCAD Certificate from the CAD Corporation, and have spent much of my career creating, managing, and delivering detailed technical drawings that meet industry standards and client expectations.
Throughout my career, I have worked on a wide range of projects from architectural layouts and compliance documentation to electrical and mechanical drawings, developing a deep understanding of building systems, design principles, and precise drafting methodologies. I am known for my speed, accuracy, and clarity in producing high-quality drawings, as well as for my ability to quickly interpret complex information and convert it into professional documentation.
Beyond my technical skills, I have also trained and mentored numerous draughtsmen, teaching drawing principles, CAD best practices, and workflow efficiency. I take pride in my ability to streamline processes, maintain high standards, and contribute to cohesive, well-coordinated project documentation.
Whether working independently or as part of a larger project team, I am detail-driven, deadline-focused, and passionate about delivering results that align perfectly with client goals. My approach combines efficiency, precision, and a deep respect for design intent, ensuring every drawing I produce is both technically sound and visually clear.
