I am a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and an active member of the Project Management Institute, MMUP-UPDA, and the Lebanese Order of Engineers and Architects. My technical proficiency spans Power BI, Blueworks Live, Revit, AutoCAD, and other project management tools. Passionate about driving innovation in project management, I am always eager to collaborate on initiatives that push the boundaries of efficiency, quality, and sustainability in the built environment.
