Resumes

With a background in civil engineering and architecture, along with extensive experience in project management, architectural design, and education, I have consistently aimed for excellence and leadership in both my academic and professional work, all while maintaining full-time employment. I am now seeking to pursue doctoral studies in sustainable architecture and environmental science. My goal is to help create buildings that work better with the environment, improving energy conservation and overall performance. In my professional experience, I have noticed that many buildings don’t perform efficiently due to a lack of environmental awareness, leading to unnecessary energy loss. These issues can be addressed through sustainable architectural practices and environmental stewardship. I believe the world needs more architects committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility, not just aesthetics.
