• Overall experience developing architectural projects: I have successfully completed projects from pre-design to construction drawings, considering a pre-analysis of building codes, zoning regulations, and architectural guidelines, in coordination with civil engineers and owners, as well as developing schematic design creating floor plans, and elevations from scratch, several iterations until being approved to prepare drawings ready to send backgrounds to engineers and coordinating building systems, material and value engineering, demonstrating attention to detail and commitment to delivering cost-effective solutions
• Preparing final construction drawings with constructability in mind
• I worked in a company surveying and confirming diesel pipes elevations for a contractor in Goldsboro, NC Air-force (Seymour Johnson)
• Most important project: The Morrison Plantation Self Storage Building project exemplifies my experience and skills
• I was responsible for redesigning the original design by another architect, and the client to work with your firm based on our improvements
• My main role included enhancing the three-story floor plans and elevations in alignment with architectural guidelines set by the HOA
• Additionally, I played a vital role in developing the design development and construction drawings, collaborating with engineers to coordinate building systems and materials
• Project team collaboration: My collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, I have designed architectural drawings to coordinate with engineers receiving their input back and incorporating it into the design process
• Mech/closets Mech/rooms Riser/room Hydrants locations HVAC Equipment on roofs, panic hardware on Elec/closets doors when required by electrical code
• Provide Comcheck-Performance when required by jurisdictions to electrical engineers for them to finish their part
• Coordination with structural engineer providing foundation slab plans and floor plans location edge slab, weather ledges, elevator, and staircase coordination
• Independently perform CAD (Computer Aided Design) and BIM (Building Information Modeling) work.
• Advised clients on issues and options negatively affecting completion dates and suggested ways to keep project under budget.
• Analyzed and applied new technologies to improve functionality of designs.

• Intern/architect work, designing commercial building space, renovations From schematic design to construction documents.
• Overall experience developing architectural designs and working drawings:

"I have successfully completed numerous commercial, residential, and industrial projects, with a primary focus on industrial projects. Collaborating closely with my project manager, I have played a key role in the development of design and construction documentation for various renovation projects. Notably, I have contributed to the successful renovation of historical buildings, transforming them into functional and modern apartments, as well as the renovation of commercial and office renovations.

Through my experience, I have gained a strong understanding of the intricacies involved in each project type, allowing me to effectively navigate the unique challenges they present. My expertise lies in delivering high-quality designs that not only meet client expectations but also adhere to industry standards and regulations.
