Summary
Since my 2nd year of education in architecture I’ve been working in different types of projects. As my CV shows, I am a very dynamic person who adapts to the job that needs to be done, having a varied experience in residential buildings, new and renovation as in industrial and commercial stores and warehouses. I have collaborated and responsible for buildings in Portugal, Angola and Luxembourg.
My capacity to adapt to several types of architectural design, in all their phases, is a major contribution to a winning company.
