About 

  I am a dynamic and ambitious architect with 8 years of experience in various projects and constructions on luxury houses, home units, athletic and commercial buildings. Since graduating from the University Technology in Iraq with a Bachelor degree in Architecture, I have worked with many architectural and design companies in my country. For now, I’m seeking a new start to adapt my skills to US standards and to know more about the engineering environment in the US.

  I possess impeccable technical and drafting skills with advanced knowledge of Auto CAD, 3ds Max, Microsoft Office, Adobe and other graphics communication programs. In previous jobs I have often been called upon to train juniors and other employees in various computer software. An excellent working knowledge of contracts administration is also one of my strong points.

  My attention to detailed drawings and excellent problem-solving skills ensure that every project I work on is done accurately and to the highest possible standard. I am comfortable working as part of a team but also have the ability to take an authoritative role when the situation arises. My multi-tasking skills and positive attitude make me an effective communicator with all clients I work with
