About

I am an experienced professional with over 11 years of expertise in designing residential facades and construction details, combined with a strong foundation in project coordination. My career has been focused on working closely with house builders, ensuring high-quality design execution and delivering tailored solutions for custom homes. Currently, I am seeking to transition into a Construction Manager role where I can apply my in-depth knowledge of residential construction, attention to detail, and leadership capabilities to oversee projects from start to finish. I am passionate about contributing to the successful completion of custom home builds, ensuring efficiency, quality, and client satisfaction. I am proficient in industry-standard software such as AutoCAD, MS Project, and Bluebeam, which I use to streamline design processes and manage project timelines. Bilingual in Farsi and English, I thrive in dynamic, collaborative environments where I can leverage both my design expertise and project management skills.
