Proven Experience & Past Performance
With over 12 years of hands-on experience, my background in CADD, VDC, and BIM is extensive, covering a wide range of complex projects across multiple design platforms. My experience spans the federal government, high-tech manufacturing, and commercial sectors, where I have a proven track record of delivering high-quality construction documents. I excel in leveraging cutting-edge technology like BIM, VDC, and VR scanning to ensure precision and efficiency from concept to completion.
-
As the lead designer for my own firm, I have submitted proposals for 3D VR projects directly to U.S. Government agencies.
My primary work involves engineering highly accurate Revit models from Faro Point Cloud data to create as-built documentation and deliverables.
I direct all Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) initiatives to manage and integrate multi-disciplinary models for federal projects.
