With nearly 15 years of experience in the AEC industry, I have focused primarily on the innovation and integration of design applications relating to all phases of design and construction. Experience with integrating project models and data within a wide range of clients organizations, I have acquired extensive expertise in building information modeling and computer-aided facility management systems. More recently, I have spent the past two to three years focusing on learning virtual reality and augmented reality, with a focus on office implementation, client outreach, and innovation.
