About

I am an architect driven by the intersection of design, technology, and logic. My work explores how computation can extend architectural thinking — transforming design from an act of form-making into a process of system generation. Through parametric and algorithmic methods, I seek to create responsive, adaptable, and data-informed spaces that evolve from performance rather than appearance.

My current focus lies in integrating digital tools such as Rhino, Grasshopper, and Python to develop workflows that merge creativity with precision — allowing complex geometries, dynamic facades, and generative patterns to emerge from clear design intentions. For me, computational design is not merely about automation; it is about uncovering new ways of thinking, reasoning, and shaping architecture through logic, structure, and beauty.

Beyond architecture, I enjoy sketching, reading and listening to rock music. I also love playing football and going out for drinks with friends to unwind and recharge.
