I have successfully managed multidisciplinary teams of up to 8 members and have worked on a diverse portfolio of projects, including multi-storey commercial buildings, residential developments, and large-scale infrastructure initiatives. My proficiency in mathematical calculations and advanced IT skills enables me to meticulously estimate costs and labor with precision and clarity. Throughout my journey, I have prioritized building strong, professional relationships with clients, developers, and contractors. My approachable nature, coupled with exceptional communication skills, ensures that I can actively listen and respond to the unique needs of each stakeholder. My commitment to customer service has been a driving force behind many of the successful projects I have overseen. A highlight of my career includes leading significant projects such as Google’s Data Center and various electrical substation integrations, where I played a key role in optimizing processes and managing critical contractual elements.
