As an architectural designer and construction engineer, I’ve planned and managed projects budgeted to $10M for residential, industrial, and commercial clients and VA Medical Centers. Following are keys to my success:➤ SERVE CLIENTSEstablish a good client relationship with honesty, integrity, and dependability. Include all stakeholders in planning and provide a solution that satisfies their long-term needs.➤ BE CREATIVEDon't get stuck on one idea or an architectural style. Generate, develop, and present multiple solutions from different perspectives. Get ideas from clients and building sites and visualize solutions in three dimensions. Take ideas to a higher conceptual level wherever possible.➤ PLAN FOR CHANGEWith a big picture perspective, creatively solve complex problems with multiple solutions that address both the present and future. Anticipate the changing needs of all clients, whether they are families, businesses, or medical centers.➤ COMMUNICATE OPENLYCommunicate with everyone to drive mutual success and put myself in their shoes. Follow through on promises. If there is a problem, inform all parties and provide solutions.➤ MOTIVATE TEAMSEmpower people to be part of the solution at all levels. Encourage them to bring and discuss ideas to resolve problems. Assign tasks according to people’s strengths. Address their weaknesses by teaching them how to improve.▶ KEY COMPETENCIESArchitectural & Engineering Design | Project Management | Vendor & Contractor Management | Team Management & Collaboration | Building Codes | Structural & MEP Systems | Contract Administration | Structural Analysis & Design
