I am an experienced professional with focus on efficient communication and networking. I would describe myself as a dependable and driven individual, ready to contribute to any team. I demonstrate strong teamwork abilities within multidisciplinary teams. I am also committed to maintaining high standards and ensuring operational success.

I bring forth an energetic and proactive approach seeking to learn from management and coworkers.

Software Used: Autodesk Revit
Academic Project 

• Developed a comprehensive, data-rich 3D BIM (Building Information Modeling) model for a two-story, single-family residence, applying architectural design principles and construction documentation standards.
• Created detailed architectural plans, elevations, sections, and schedules directly from the coordinated Revit model, ensuring consistency and accuracy across all documentation.
• Implemented parametric families for custom architectural components and interior fixtures, enhancing model detail and flexibility for design iteration.
• Conducted basic spatial analysis and solar studies to evaluate design decisions regarding room layouts and window placement.
• Produced a set of preliminary construction drawings, demonstrating proficiency in translating a design model into structured technical documentation for potential construction.

Academic Project 

• Conducted a comprehensive energy audit of a local restaurant to identify inefficiencies and quantify potential cost and energy savings.
• Analyzed utility bills, assessed building envelope integrity, and evaluated the performance of major energy-consuming systems including HVAC, refrigeration, and kitchen equipment.
• Calculated energy usage intensity (EUI) and benchmarked performance against similar commercial food service establishments to establish a baseline.
• Proposed a prioritised list of cost-effective retrofit measures, including LED lighting upgrades, HVAC optimisation, and improved refrigeration practices, supported by simple payback period calculations.

Academic Project 

• Collaborated in a 4-person team to design, prototype, and construct a bridge from uncooked pasta and epoxy, engineered to withstand a minimum load of 20kg.
• Applied fundamental principles of structural engineering, including truss design, load distribution, and material stress analysis, to develop an efficient, lightweight model.
• Utilized an iterative design process: created initial sketches, built and tested preliminary prototypes to identify failure points, and refined the final design based on empirical results.
• Managed project timeline and delegated tasks (design, construction, documentation, testing) to ensure efficient workflow and on-time completion.
• Successfully constructed a bridge that supported a load of 22kg during the final test, validating the structural integrity and effectiveness of the collaborative design approach.
