What I'm looking for

I’m looking to leverage urban design and planning expertise, digital strategy, and AI data annotation precision to support corporate goals. I want to work with creativity and collaboration, delivering sustainable, measurable impact while advancing my career through continuous growth.

I’m a seasoned Urban Designer, Town Planner, and AI Data Annotator with a strong media background. I combine creative vision with technical planning skills to design sustainable, vibrant urban environments and deliver clear, stakeholder-ready outputs.

I’ve managed end-to-end real estate and urban development projects—building project plans, schedules, and budgets, coordinating contractors and consultants, and liaising with regulatory bodies for approvals and compliance. I translate complex technical concepts into accessible communication for clients, government offices, and community stakeholders.

In my design work, I specialize in GIS mapping, geo-mapping, feasibility studies, and landscape and urban layout planning. I create detailed 2D and 3D designs using tools like AutoCAD and SketchUp, while applying smart city technologies and sustainable building practices to improve long-term value and environmental performance.

I’m also driven by precision and continuous improvement: I follow detailed AI annotation guidelines to identify inconsistencies and edge cases, delivering consistently accurate outputs. Alongside this, I bring leadership in communication, IT, and public relations—strengthening engagement and brand building through audience-first digital strategy.
