Work Experience
- 2020-Present: Architectural Designer, ZJA, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Projects: Amsterdam Central Station, Gerrit Krolbrug Groningen,NEO Sports park, Oosterzele Fietsenstalling, P+R Kralingse Zoom Rotterdam, Twee bruggen Albertkanaal

Description: During working at ZJA, I have been working on many projects that included a capital railway station(Amsterdam central station), bridges, sports halls, and bicycle parking from the initial design stage to technical drawing and detailing. I have an active role during the primary phases of the projects and carried out many studies and research as a strong base for the following design phases. For example, during the project of Amsterdam central station which is about the renovation of the current station, I used point clouds to define the current situation. Apart from that, I did a lot of studies and investigations for the existing MEP and structures and discussed it with other parties as a starting point. I was also involved in many projects such as Gerrit Krolbrug Groningen, NEO Sports park, Oosterzele Fietsenstalling, P+R Kralingse Zoom Rotterdam, Twee bruggen Albertkanaal during schematic design and design development and created 2d and 3d drawings working with different software like Revit, Enscape, Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, Sketchup, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe illustrator. I always try to find the best methods to optimize the design process. For example, I used the plugin of Rhino Inside Revit and Grasshopper for the design of the façade of NEO sports hall. I've had a significant contribution to the construction documentation phases of projects. For example for the project of Amsterdam central station, I was mainly coordinating and collaborating with other parties outside of the Architecture team as well as the ZJA team. I was involved in many weekly meetings with engineers and stakeholders to improve and present the design. Apart from that, I have been asked to train the ZJA team in Revit program for detailing and creating smart solutions with parametric components.

Tasks: Detailing and modeling in Revit in Bouwkunde department, BIM
Description: During working at ABT, I have worked on many projects that included residential and commercial buildings. My role was mainly focused on technical drawings and detailing. One of my main tasks was to check the architects’ drawings and communicate with them and other parties about the possible modifications and challenges within the project. On the other hand, I was also responsible for making the technical drawings and the details in Revit. Apart from that, I was involved in the research team related to glass and façade. I had the chance to share the knowledge that I gained during my master’s thesis (Flexible Transparency with Smart Materials A study on adaptive thin glass developed with Shape Memory Alloy) and develop it by being part of the research team.
