As a planner and designer, I use data-driven solutions to create innovative and sustainable urban projects. I was the Managing Director at terra tronics, a company that develops smart city technologies and strategies. There, I led a team of engineers and designers who worked with clients and partners across sectors and regions, delivering projects that improved urban livability, efficiency, and resilience. Some of our recent achievements include developing a digital twin platform for a large metropolitan area, designing a smart mobility system for a mid-sized city, and facilitating a participatory planning process for a rural community.I am also the founder of INDIE BARDS, a platform that connects independent writers and editors with publishers and readers. I launched this venture in 2017, after noticing a gap in the market for quality and diverse content creation and distribution. Since then, we have grown to a network of over 500 writers and editors, covering topics ranging from fiction and poetry to journalism and education. We have also partnered with several reputable publishers and media outlets, providing them with original and engaging content. My educational background in City/Urban, Community and Regional Planning from the School of Planning and Architecture supports my career path and goals. I learned how to apply research, creativity, and collaboration to address complex urban challenges. My mission is to use my expertise and skills to create a positive impact and value for society.
