I am an Architect and a student in an advanced European BIM master. I am interested in automation, digitization and mixing it with architecture and construction. Within my past experiences working on 65 high-end residential projects, I acquired expertise in concept developing, design authoring, coordinating, reviewing and, construction planning.
    I have led a team and aspired them to digitization and automation by generating new design processes that reduce wastes and save time and resources.
