I am an architect with 17 years of professional experience in practice and 5 years of teaching experience as visiting faculty across several undergraduate architecture colleges in the city. Over the years, I have been actively engaged in academia, guiding students in design studios, theory, and practical applications of architecture. My involvement as an external juror for undergraduate design vivas has further strengthened my ability to evaluate, mentor, and encourage young designers in developing critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills. Drawing from my extensive professional background, I bring a practice-oriented approach to teaching, aiming to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world architectural practice.
