About

I am an Architectural Designer and Urban Planner with eight years of experience delivering technical designs and coordinating complex infrastructure projects across Somaliland. I specialize in site coordination and data collection for large-scale planning missions, utilizing AutoCAD, Revit, GIS, and ArchiCAD to bridge the gap between architectural vision and urban scale. By combining rigorous technical mapping with multilingual translation and administrative leadership, I ensure seamless communication between local stakeholders and technical teams. I am now looking to apply my field-tested expertise in sustainable urban development to high-impact international infrastructure initiatives.
