Technical Edge: Where Data Meets Design

Spatial Intelligence: Graduate Diploma in GIS Analysis

My transition into the built environment is powered by a Graduate Diploma in GIS Analysis. While many designers start with a blank canvas, I start with a georeferenced dataset. My ability to leverage Geographic Information Systems allows me to bring a "macro" perspective to "micro" design problems.

How GIS elevates my architectural workflow:

• Site Suitability & Constraints: I use GIS to map environmental overlays, flood zones, and infrastructure easements with precision, ensuring feasibility is baked into the design from day one.

• Terrain & Hydrological Modeling: I can process complex LiDAR and contour data to create highly accurate site topographies in Revit, predicting drainage and earthworks requirements before construction begins.

• Urban Context & Connectivity: By analyzing spatial networks, I design buildings that don't just exist in isolation but respond intelligently to the surrounding infrastructure and community fabric.

Systems Logic: From Network Engineering to BIM

My background in Network Operations and Telecoms Project Management provides a level of technical rigor rare in design graduates. I view a building as a complex network of intersecting systems—structural, mechanical, and spatial.

• BIM Data Hygiene: My experience managing global information systems translates to a disciplined approach to Revit. I prioritize data hierarchy, parameter management, and clean file interoperability to ensure a "single source of truth" for the project team.

• Interdisciplinary Coordination: I have years of experience coordinating with engineers and stakeholders on multi-million dollar telecoms projects. I speak the language of "clash detection" and "system integration."

• Computational Design: I use Dynamo to automate repetitive data-entry tasks, allowing me to focus on high-level design and complex detailing rather than manual sheet management.

The "Troubleshooter" Mindset

Technology shouldn't replace the designer; it should remove the friction from the process. Whether I am developing a self-hosted RAG system to make the NCC instantly searchable or writing scripts to verify room tags, my goal is the same:

Total Accuracy and Workflow Efficiency.
