My resume below details information about my qualifications to assist you in evaluating my suitability for a personal interview. I am confident that my experience and skills align well with your team’s needs and will contribute positively to your business objectives.   

Rather than filling a pre-made position, I think roles should be tailored to fit strong candidates. I'm adaptable, willing to learn, innovate, and travel, so I can excel in various roles. 

I have extensive experience in almost every area of architecture, including managing projects and overseeing firms. Over the years, I've gained valuable skills and built a strong network of contacts to ensure work is completed efficiently. My background covers a wide range of projects, so I'm confident handling challenging tasks related to code compliance, mechanical and electrical systems, working with general contractors, and addressing site issues. I also enjoy being actively involved on job sites. 

I handle projects of all sizes, from solo designs to team collaborations. My experience includes efficiently managing projects using tools like Microsoft 365, Revit, Photoshop, Foxit PDF, web services, and digital scanning devices.   

I have mentored many interns who later joined other firms and credited their time with me for increasing their knowledge. I am well respected and always ready to lead my team through challenging tasks with composure. 

 

Please contact me to discuss potential synergy.
