I am a registered Architect with 5 years’ experience in the Australian Architecture industry and currently working as Project Architect in MODE Design and have been working on an array of projects as Team Leader; reporting to the principals and the directors. My current projects include the development of schematic and the tender package of a new public school (core 35) at Marsden Park in a team of 15 liaising with consultants from 15 disciplines and the Department of Education directly, leading the construction phase including site inspection meetings following design development and contract documentation phase of a project that received a Land and Environmental court approval for a senior housing development adjacent to a heritage listed item at Burraneer, CDC and DA documentation for consolidation of two adjacent terraced houses into one single dwelling in Woollahra, Section96 for a house in Lawson Avenue, yielding studies for boarding houses located within the City of Sydney area, and DA application for subdivision masterplan including detailed house type plans in Dubbo. At MODE, my responsibilities have included manage the design and development of the projects from conception to completion including options assessment, concept design, approval application, contract, construction and detailed design documentation. In addition, preparation of briefs, coordinate with external consultants as well as internal staffs, stakeholders and clients ensuring quality control of project documentation and communications; and, execute and oversee financial management of projects, monitor reports, invoicing, revenue projections etc.; excelling in architectural design solutions, construction detailing, documentation and meeting clients’ vision. After working as fulltime tutor for 1.5 years, at Department of Architecture in University of Asia Pacific, Dhaka, Bangladesh and with some training in the profession overseas, I came to Australia for my master’s degree at New South Wales (UNSW). I was employed in Scott Carver Architects as Student in May 2014 and have been fortunate to take the responsibility for the design development and construction phase of North Kellyville Square as Project 2IC, after finishing my degree. It provided me the opportunity to manage clients, consultants and documentation followed by managing the Development Application and design development phase of Retail Redevelopment in Campbelltown and some other opportunities producing D&C tender documentation for a few projects in teams including Harold Park (Residential), Kogarah RSL Club (Mixed-use) and Rosenthal Carpark Avenue (Public project by council). These works involved guiding the architectural students and recent graduates; checking both written and drawn documents. I have completed my Bachelor in Architecture with distinction from the School of Planning and Architecture (SPA), New Delhi, India followed by Master of Architecture degree from University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia in 2015 and received Vandana Gold Medal, SPA Gold Medal and General Proficiency Prize, awarded to the student who is a high achiever, has the best thesis performance and is the best student in academia.
