About

I am an architectural professional with experience in design documentation, BIM coordination, site reviews, and contract administration across residential, commercial, and heritage projects. My background includes work in ArchiCAD and Revit, as well as SPA drawings, shop drawing reviews, submittals, RFIs, and field reports. I began my career in an architectural practice in Siberia, where I developed a broad foundation in project delivery. I later moved to Moscow to work on larger and more complex projects, and then continued my career in Canada with CORE Architects and ARCADIS. These experiences strengthened my ability to work in fast-paced environments, coordinate with project teams, and support projects through design and construction. I value clear communication, technical accuracy, and practical coordination. I am currently continuing my professional development through the CCA certification process.
