Currently I am overseeing our Architectural and CAD department, managing workloads and design input, as well as preparing and implementing guidelines for both internal and external use.

Also during my time here in Gabon, I was also working as sole design engineer on the replacement of the football pitch of the “Stade de l’amitiee” in Libreville for the 2012 African Nations Cup.
