A little about me...
About Me
I have been immersed in the world of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) since my high school years. My journey began with hands-on carpentry work, which provided a solid foundation of practical experience in the field. After graduating from architecture school, I joined a multi-billion dollar general contractor in Chicago as a VDC engineer. During my five years there, I gained extensive experience working on mega-projects across the country.
Currently, I am a BIM Manager at an AEC firm where I have developed VDC standards from scratch, enhanced operational functions, implemented comprehensive training programs, and continuously develop custom solutions to streamline workflows.
My Expertise
With a unique blend of hands-on field experience, high-level project management, and deep technological proficiency, I bring a comprehensive perspective to VDC. I have worked on the architecture and engineering side, as well as preconstruction, allowing me to bridge the gap between technical and business discussions. My ability to manage teams, communicate effectively across all levels of an organization, and develop innovative solutions makes me a versatile and valuable asset in the industry.
