I am a senior professional architect, PMP certified, and project engineering manager with two Master’s degrees in architecture and Global BIM management.

My 18 years career is balanced between design/construction for both local/international projects. I adapt rapidly in new work environments and different work conditions, focusing on self-learning, personal development, and research.

As a design architect, I worked with world-class, award-winning architects like Dr. Rasem Badran and Wael Almasri, where I participated in submitting winning international competitions. Moreover, I have successfully delivered many projects at different design stages (from concept to shop drawings) and of different types, including and not limited to mixed-use buildings, commercial, governmental, residential, hotel, and master planning.

In construction, I played a key role in delivering one of the biggest and most luxurious multi-million projects in Algeria as senior technical architect and the head of the architecture/engineering department for the JV between Drake and Scull Construction (DSC) and Consolidated Contractor Company (CCC).

My academic background as a student in Master’s programs and working as a parttime lecturer in Jordanian universities and Jordan Engineers Associations gave me the knowledge and confidence to mentor, motivate, and lead and young architects and engineers to deliver projects successfully.

Through the Master’s program in Global BIM management, I obtained the essential experience and knowledge in BIM standards (e.g., ISO 19650), BIM implementation, coordination, collaboration, interoperability, and Open BIM. Moreover, we practiced other BIM uses like 4D, 5D, and 6D, in addition to the preparation of BIM documents (EIR, BEP, COBie..etc.) and BIM models (PIM, AIM) throughout the project lifecycle; project planning, concept stage, design development stage, construction stage, and facility management.
