Strategy · Coordination · Delivery

Summary

In the built environment since 2002. Nine years on Tier 1 Australian infrastructure — large programmes, many disciplines, fixed submission dates.

Standards and project set-up. CDE governance. Model federation. Metadata and naming. The QA that decides whether a package is fit to issue.

Master in BIM for Project and Contract Management.

Architecture underneath all of it — form, material, color and how a building meets its site and its climate.

Research

Digital engineering,
studied to full marks.

Master in BIM for Project and Contract Management in Construction Works — Politecnico di Milano, final grade 110/110. Thesis: Strategies for BIM Implementation and Digital Delivery in Remote Low-Maturity Regions — a Case Study of an Experimental Eco-Village.

Skills

Superpower Information
management.

Digital Governance

Information management and metadata compliance; CDE coordination (ProjectWise); QA/QC of multidisciplinary data sets.

Engineering Coordination

Model federation and clash resolution for complex engineering systems; management of multidisciplinary design-integrated workflows.

Technical Delivery

Coordination of design documentation packages; resolving technical interfaces within large-scale built environment systems.

Standards & Systems

Maintaining technical protocols and BIM libraries to support multidisciplinary project delivery.

Architecture

The parallel education.

Through every year of the engineering career, a second education ran quietly alongside it — self-paced studies in design, sustainability and spatial thinking, pursued not for a role but out of genuine attachment to architecture.
