Summary
With a dynamic background bridging construction and technology, I bring a well-rounded and forward-looking approach to business and project development. My experience includes the successful implementation of construction-focused software solutions, where I led the integration of digital tools to streamline project management, budgeting, and on-site workflows. This has significantly improved operational efficiency and decision-making across multiple construction projects and processes. Proficient in leading software platforms such as Procore, I have successfully implemented and optimized digital tools to support document control, RFI/submittal tracking, change order processing, and real-time project reporting. These tools have been integral in reducing administrative overhead, improving audit readiness, and ensuring compliance with both internal standards and external requirements.
Together, these diverse experiences allow me to approach challenges with a multifaceted perspective, and drive results across industries by integrating innovative solutions with proven operational strategies.
