CAD/CAM Draftsman & Architect

Role and background

With advanced technical expertise in architectural design and digital drafting, I handle the entire project workflow: 2D/3D drawings, BIM modeling, photorealistic renderings, and construction documents using AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, and Lumion. I am equally comfortable working in both French- and English-speaking environments, with direct experience collaborating with American partners—skills that can be immediately applied to European projects.

Professional Experience

DESIGN OFFICE MANAGER / Self-initiated

Since May 2024

FIX-CONCEPT

Madagascar

Through a large-scale personal project, I designed a 10-story residential building incorporating a concept of complete energy self-sufficiency and a sustainable approach to construction.

As an architect and designer, I oversaw the architectural design of the project from the preliminary phases through to advanced modeling. My responsibilities included creating 2D and 3D drawings, including facades, sections, and floor plans, as well as the layout of interior and exterior spaces. I also produced photorealistic renderings using LUMION to showcase the project to stakeholders and investors.

The project was developed around a contemporary architectural design focused on optimizing space, ensuring occupant comfort, and incorporating solutions aimed at achieving water and energy self-sufficiency. Particular attention was paid to the functionality of the spaces, the fluidity of vertical circulation—notably through the integration of appropriately designed elevators and staircases—as well as compliance with applicable technical and regulatory standards.

I collaborated with American investors throughout the design process to ensure the project aligned with the defined financial, technical, and environmental objectives. This experience has allowed me to develop advanced skills in architectural design, 3D modeling, photorealistic visualization, and the management of innovative, high-value-added projects.

EG.CO.M

Madagascar

As a drafting engineer, design engineer, and architect-designer, I have led the architectural design of residential projects, from feasibility studies through to construction drawings.

In particular, I designed a three-story apartment extension, carrying out site surveys, analyzing technical and regulatory constraints, creating 2D/3D models in ArchiCAD and AutoCAD, and producing all technical drawings. Photorealistic renderings created in Lumion enabled us to effectively validate architectural choices.

I also developed a hybrid 10-story residential building project incorporating energy and water self-sufficiency solutions. This project involved the complete design of architectural plans, space optimization, the integration of vertical circulation systems, and the production of advanced visualizations for investors. In collaboration with U.S. partners, I ensured that the project’s architectural, technical, and financial objectives were aligned.

These experiences have strengthened my expertise in architectural design, BIM, 3D modeling, photorealistic visualization, and technical coordination of innovative real estate projects.

CAD & CAM DESIGNER

May 2020–March 2023

MADAWOOD Company

Madagascar

At a workshop specializing in the manufacture of wooden furniture, I participated in the design and development of custom-made furniture tailored to meet clients’ specific needs.

My responsibilities included 2D and 3D modeling of cabinets, desks, chairs, and various furnishings using AutoCAD and ArchiCAD software. I was also responsible for producing the detailed technical drawings, manufacturing specifications, and assembly simulations necessary for the successful completion of the projects.

I was in charge of calculating material quantities, optimizing cut lists, and preparing technical documents for production. Particular attention was paid to incorporating ergonomic, functional, and aesthetic criteria in order to offer solutions tailored to clients’ expectations while adhering to the workshop’s manufacturing standards.

Close collaboration with the production teams ensured consistency between the design and the actual production of the furniture. Several designs garnered interest and satisfaction from international clients, confirming the quality of the solutions developed and their alignment with market demands.

This experience allowed me to develop strong skills in custom furniture design, 3D modeling, technical documentation preparation, and manufacturing process optimization, while enhancing my creativity and attention to detail.
