I am a passionate and dedicated professional with a strong focus on sustainable construction and design. I am equipped with a deep understanding of sustainable building practices, federated BIM, net-zero design, and the principles of low-energy buildings. My academic journey is complemented by hands-on experience gained through various roles and projects, notably a comprehensive self-build house project. Software Proficiency Graphical Illustrator 8years, Photoshop 10years, MS Office 10years, AutoCAD 6years, BIM ArchiCAD 1year, Revit 4years, 3D modelling Sketchup 8years, Clash Detection and quantification Navis works 1year, Construction scheduling PowerProject, Building simulation IES VE. Computer hardware knowledge, self-built computers.
Graduate Engineer at RubixMEP, a multi-disciplinary MEP consultancy in Birmingham, delivering sustainable building design across residential, commercial, healthcare, and hospitality sectors. My work centres on energy and sustainability, producing BRUKL reports and energy strategies for Part L compliance, dynamic thermal modelling in IES VE, and overheating assessments to CIBSE TM52/TM59 and Part O. I also carry out carbon impact studies evaluating retrofit interventions such as ASHPs, solar thermal, and PV systems, and support BREEAM assessments across multiple rating categories. Alongside the energy work, I am involved in mechanical services design, developing ventilation, HVAC, drainage, and domestic water drawings and schematics to RIBA Stage 4.
I have gained comprehensive experience by working on a self-build house project, involved in every stage from planning and groundwork to completion. This role provided me with a solid understanding of project timelines, potential pitfalls, and detailed technical aspects of construction. I have effectively collaborated with a wide range of professionals, including material suppliers, surveyors, carpenters, bricklayers, electricians, plumbers, underfloor heating engineers, solar energy technicians, and building inspectors, enhancing my coordination and communication skills, and managing site cohesion.
I developed AutoCAD files for existing layouts and proposed designs, focusing on house extensions and loft conversions. I created renders for clients, enhancing my comprehension of the planning process and the criteria needed for approval with programs such as Lumion and Enscape
