About
I’m an architectural CAD drafter specializing in accurate, code‑aware drawings for residential and commercial projects. My core strengths include floor plans, elevations, sections, details, redlines, and construction documentation using AutoCAD and other industry‑standard tools.
Alongside architectural work, I also support general CAD drafting, including mechanical layouts, site plans, product drawings, and 2D/3D conversions. I’m comfortable working from sketches, PDFs, markups, or existing CAD files, and I deliver clean, organized drawings that follow layer standards and project requirements.
Clients appreciate my clear communication, fast turnaround, and consistent accuracy. If you need reliable drafting support for architectural or general CAD projects, I’m ready to help.
