Saudi Arabia

About

I am a Certified Architect, Urban Planner, and Smart City Specialist based in Riyadh with over 5 years of professional experience driving large-scale urban developments. Holding a Master of Science in Global Smart City Management and a Bachelor's degree in Architecture, my focus lies at the intersection of innovative design, urban technology, and sustainability. Throughout my career, I have successfully managed the urban and architectural design for major, large-scale community projects across Saudi Arabia. To ensure the highest standards of sustainable and efficient project delivery, I hold a PMP certification and multiple LEED credentials, including LEED AP ND, LEED AP BD+C, and LEED Green Associate. Beyond traditional planning, I have a strong interest in the financial and technology sectors, particularly exploring how blockchain and decentralized finance can integrate with future urban ecosystems.
