What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead projects end-to-end, strengthen operations and site safety, and reduce legal/contractual risk through clear documentation, structured planning, and effective stakeholder communication.

I’m a highly motivated, result-focused professional combining Private Legal Practice with long-standing built-industry leadership. With 16+ years across roles from Assistant Quantity Surveyor to Senior Project Management, I deliver end-to-end project ownership “from Planning to Handing over,” bringing strong operations and emergency operations management attention to overall site and project safety.

I also support corporate and litigation work with disciplined legal research, statutory analysis, and high-quality drafting. I draft pleadings, motions, and settlement agreements, manage full-cycle case work from due diligence to trial preparation, and translate complex legal concepts for diverse clients—while leading teams through quality, managerial leadership, and structured decision-making backed by tools like Microsoft Project and the Microsoft Office Suite.
