About Me

I am a multidisciplinary individual with a robust foundation in civil engineering and a passion for architectural design and technology. Currently pursuing a Master of Architecture at Yale School of Architecture, I blend technical proficiency with creative design solutions.

My expertise spans a wide array of tools and technologies, including:

  • Design Software: Proficient in AutoCAD, Rhino 3D, Revit, Grasshopper, and ArchiCAD, I create detailed and innovative designs. My experience with Adobe Suite, Bluebeam, and SketchUp further supports my ability to deliver comprehensive design presentations.
  • Visualization and Rendering: Skilled in V-Ray, Enscape, and Unreal Engine 5, I bring designs to life with immersive visualizations and high-quality renderings.
  • GIS and Data Analysis: Utilizing ArcGIS, I incorporate spatial analysis and geographic data into my projects, enhancing the depth and context of my designs.
  • Programming and Development: With a strong background in Python, C, C#, Java, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, I develop custom computational tools and interactive web applications, seamlessly integrating technology into architectural workflows.
  • AI and Emerging Technologies: Leveraging tools like Stable Diffusion, I explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and design, pushing the boundaries of creative innovation.

Through my diverse skill set, I aim to bridge the gap between traditional design principles and modern technological advancements, crafting solutions that are both aesthetically pleasing and functionally robust.
