Education
 

Bachelor in Architecture

Graduated  · GPA 8.80/10


Fundamentals of architectural design, construction systems, interdisciplinary design–engineering coordination, technical documentation, and end-to-end project management & delivery across multiple sectors including institutional, industrial, and mission-critical facilities. Full project range available in PDF portfolio upon request.


​Specialty in Industrialized Building Components 

Graduated 2023 · GPA 9.32/10


 
Full value-chain thinking applied to construction systems as industrial products: from manufacturing logic (CNC fabrication, additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping, modular systems design, production workflows) to market deployment (cost and production management, competitive market analysis, intellectual property, human factors). Applied to building component systems as scalable industrial products and optimized delivery frameworks.


Master in Industrial Design 

Tailored Graduate Program — GPA 9.62 · 114% credits · peer-reviewed publication.

 

Program structured within the Technology field of knowledge, with a focus on the Evaluation and Development of New Products and Materials, strategically designed to integrate leadership, governance, and executive-level traceability competencies, building upon my prior experience as a strategist and complex systems integrator
 
Module I — Research Methods, Theoretical Frameworks & Advanced Design Perspectives
 
Development of original theoretical models, ethnographic research, rhetoric, semiotics, transdisciplinary research, design theory, and design disciplines integration. Recognized in international competitions (Top 100, Prototypes for Humanity Dubai 2020; Buildner Urban Elements Design Challenge, Dubai 2025). Applicable to investment origination and strategic consulting.
 
Module II — Business Strategy & Innovation Management (MBA-equivalent scope)
 
Business strategy, portfolio governance, product-service commercialization, and investment-grade bankability. Integrates service design, strategic design, futures thinking, UX, process engineering, innovation frameworks, intellectual & industrial property, and organizational design — operational core of design-driven business strategy. Applied to complex built environments, real estate ecosystems, and mission-critical operations.
 
Applied in practice: Designed and directed a full macroergonomic study for SEMAR's General Directorate of Construction — diagnosing organizational capacity, mapping delivery processes, and structuring an institutional improvement framework across a federal military agency. Designed multiple startup ventures and innovation initiatives.
 
Module III — Emerging Materials, Energy Systems & Applied Technology
 
Biocomposite development, advanced manufacturing, engineering integration, DfX methods, sustainable and emerging materials R&D, energy systems, ecodesign, and design-for-manufacturing — hands-on technology track from lab prototyping to TRL advancement. Direct foundation for Kanan Composite Systems TRL 4–5 development and patent application filed. Applicable to industry, advanced prototyping, and maker-driven innovation cultures.
 
Module IV — Advanced Design & Innovation for Future-Ready Problems
 
Nature-inspired frameworks, biodesign, biomimicry, resilience, and disaster risk reduction applied across multiple scales. Thesis: Biodesign & Resilience as a multiescalar framework for disaster risk reduction and response. Applied to regenerative design strategies, climate adaptation, and systemic transformation.
