What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead GFRC/façade projects end-to-end, drive quality and cost control, and grow in technical leadership within collaborative, safety-focused teams.

I am an architect and GFRC project manager with over 8 years' experience delivering high-value construction and façade projects across the UAE and Egypt. I lead multidisciplinary teams, manage budgets and schedules, and ensure fabrication and installation comply with international building codes and safety standards.

My track record includes managing GFRC projects up to $5M, improving production efficiency, resolving client issues to generate repeat business, and implementing quality-control processes that protect durability and aesthetics.
