Principal Process Architect at Rieckermann Engineering

About

I am an Architect and Process Architect with over thirty years of experience in the profession. Responsible for all phases of design including master planning, programming, conceptual design, schematics, design development, construction documentation and construction administration. Most of my projects have been front end concept work for the science and technology sector, including projects for pharmaceutical, biotech and consumer products clients in North America, Europe and Asia. I am an expert in process facilities and laboratory design, meeting cGMP, cGLP requirements and the FDA, NIH, PIC/S, WHO and EU regulations. Although, most of my projects have been for the science and technology sector, I also have experience and keen interest in other types of projects, including health care, hospitality, residential, commercial, corporate, educational, governmental and institutional projects. Having worked in Singapore for the last nine years, I am thoroughly familiar with the construction industry and the authority approval process here. Sustainable design is a special area of expertise for me, being a LEED AP.
