What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values innovation and offers opportunities for growth in BIM and construction.

I am a dedicated BIM modeler with a strong background in BIM modeling and coordination, particularly within the electrical sector. My experience includes working on data centers, where I played a crucial role in enhancing our project team’s BIM workflow. I excel at coordinating between onsite and remote BIM teams, ensuring that all aspects of the project align seamlessly.

My technical skills include creating and modifying families and parameters, coordinating scheduling and sheeting standards, and troubleshooting Revit issues. I am particularly interested in the technical side of BIM, such as developing libraries and setting up projects. I am always eager to leverage new technologies and techniques to improve efficiency and outcomes in construction projects.

While my primary experience lies in electrical work, I have a keen interest in exploring other MEP disciplines and collaborating with architectural teams. I believe that my diverse skill set and passion for BIM can contribute significantly to any project I am involved in.
