With nearly 13 years of experience in the Architecture and Building Construction industry, I have developed strong expertise across all project phases—from pre-design and design development to contract documentation, construction, and project turnover.

In my current role at Essar Engineering Pte Ltd, I was initially hired as a Project Engineer and later promoted to Assistant Project Manager, eventually taking on the role of Project Manager. In these capacities, I have been responsible for overseeing project execution, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, and ensuring that deliverables are completed on time, within budget, and in compliance with project specifications and regulatory requirements.

As a Project Engineer, I specialized in developing detailed structural steel working drawings and preparing documentation for the fabrication and erection of steel elements, including columns, beams, braces, trusses, girders, rafters, purlins, and miscellaneous steel components such as stairs and handrails. I also conducted site visits to gather data for layouts and collaborated closely with clients to understand and meet their project requirements.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from Saint Louis University, where I gained comprehensive knowledge in various aspects of architectural design and building construction, forming a strong foundation for my professional career.

Previously, I worked as a Project-in-Charge at R. Villarosa Architects, Partners and Associates, a firm that also provides project management services, acting as the client’s representative to ensure that project objectives are achieved. In this role, I supported associate architects and played a key role in project coordination. My responsibilities included conducting regular site inspections, liaising with construction teams to ensure adherence to project timelines, verifying material compliance with specifications and standards, and resolving on-site issues through technical drawings and documentation. I began my career in this firm as a CAD Operator and was promoted based on my contributions to design development drawings, construction drawings, presentation materials, and tender documentation, including technical specifications.

Earlier in my career, I gained valuable experience in a design-and-build company, Arkhi Builders, where I was involved in preparing preliminary sketches, working drawings, cost estimates, scopes of work, and specifications. In addition, I developed hands-on experience in project scheduling and planning, along with site supervision and coordination, supporting the head architect and contributing to the successful delivery of projects.
