What I'm looking for

I’m seeking architectural roles that leverage BIM and sustainable design, with collaborative teams, clear growth paths, and hands-on project delivery.

Hello! I’m an architect and project manager with a strong foundation in sustainable design, BIM, CAD drafting, 3D modeling, rendering, and illustration. I have led projects from planning through completion, managing budgets up to $30,000 and coordinating multidisciplinary teams to deliver clear, aesthetic visuals and construction documents.

I bring advanced skills in Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp and visualization tools, and I’ve contributed to archival research and published work on Venezuelan architectural heritage. Methodical and organized, I prioritize effective time management, collaborative BIM workflows, and integrating AV and sustainable practices into built environments.
