Tell me about yourself and what you specialize in.
I have been in the AEC industry for over 20 years, leveraging expertise in architecture, construction, engineering, and technology to streamline efficiencies, mitigate risk, and ensure project outcomes. As Chief Innovation Officer at Windover Construction, I drive innovation across all company segments, turning my passions into solutions for global projects. I utilize groundbreaking technologies such as BIM, prefabrication, DFMA, VR/AR, reality capture, digital twins, and generative AI to develop tech-first solutions while advancing sustainability.
I received my master's in architecture from Boston Architectural College and was awarded "Innovator of the Year" at the Autodesk AEC Excellence Awards in 2019. I began my career with renowned aquarium architect Peter Chermayeff, FAIA, working on international projects, which deepened my understanding of complex building coordination and inspired my move into construction.
