Summary

I am an architect with over 12 years of experience mostly within projects management; this also includes design work, as well as the overall planning and administration work done within commercial apartments and private homes buildings.

I have occupied various positions ranging from supervisor to director.

I have been entrusted with every technical aspect of projects of immense importance, much of my work has also entailed dealing with Associate Partners, with whom I have worked in the drafting of contracts, which were jointly undersigned with other third parties, such as design firms, architects, specialized consultants, contractors and suppliers. I am perfectly at ease in the handling of each and every aspect of any given project, regardless of the scale. I have consistently worked and complied with the times and budgets within any contract with the terms established by each client.

I have constantly dealt with the purchasing of various materials through local and foreign suppliers. As a result of my experience, I have become very aware of the different types of quality of the materials that may be employed within any specific project, as well as in regards to their proper use and the overall design of those. I regard myself as a well organized and proactive professional who is a true asset within any project .
