I have also worked as a team leader with Foreign Architects on design and implementation of several Embassies, Residential projects, International Companies (MNCs) as well as Prestigious National projects in Bangladesh.
During my career journey, I have designed a large number of buildings of various typologies which helped me gain sound expertise in Architectural design & drawings.
