About

Senior Architectural Technologist and built-environment specialist with over 15 years of experience across architecture, construction documentation and urban development. I deliver residential, commercial and town-planning projects from concept and tender through detailed design to full construction documentation, coordinating engineers, consultants and contractors to produce buildable, code-compliant designs. I work in ArchiCAD and am experienced in producing drawing sets, specifications and construction documents to municipal submission standard.

Alongside architectural practice I hold an M.Sc. in City Resilience Design and Management (UIC Barcelona, supported by UN-Habitat and ICLEI), which lets me connect building-scale design with climate-adaptive, passive-cooling and resource-efficient thinking — an asset for projects in hot, semi-arid and resource-constrained contexts. I pair drafting precision with project-management discipline (scope, schedule, budget, risk) and multi-stakeholder coordination.

Available for architectural drafting, construction documentation, ArchiCAD modelling, and design-support assignments.
