About

Professional summary

I specialise in architectural finishing and fit-out works: package management, subcontractor control, MEP interface coordination, quality control and project handover.

I currently manage the project-wide door package and Tower 1 finishing works at ALEC's LEED-targeted RAK Central development in Ras Al Khaimah. Previously I managed the flooring package on the USD 5.1 billion Wynn Al Marjan Island Resort, and delivered finishing works on the 2,060-bed Izmir Bayrakli City Hospital, handed over to the Turkish Ministry of Health.
