I am writing to express my strong interest in joining your esteemed architecture studio. Having recently completed my specialized master's degree in computational design at Ecole des Ponts ParisTech and concluded a rewarding internship at Navier Lab in July, I am excited about the prospect of contributing my skills and knowledge to your renowned firm.

During my internship at Navier Lab, I had the privilege of collaborating with a Ph.D. student on the development of a Tree Morphogenesis Algorithm. This cutting-edge project leveraged parametric design and data science to address the pressing issue of urban heat islands across Europe. My involvement in this research instilled in me a deep passion for harnessing data-driven solutions to create environmentally sustainable and aesthetically pleasing architectural designs.

With over five years of professional experience, I have cultivated my expertise as a proficient BIM modeler. My extensive background in Revit modeling has equipped me with a keen eye for detail and precision. What truly sets me apart is my specialization in parametric computational design, which empowers me to seamlessly integrate data science principles into architectural projects, resulting in designs that are not only visually striking but also environmentally conscious and sustainable.

As a BIM architect, I worked in a highly professional firm that encourages me to pursue the highest quality result of architectural activities and assisting in façade designing and drafting. I had the opportunity to help the office with many international projects by :
- 2D shop drawings, and drafting a high quality and complex structural designs
- BIM modeling for facades and curtain walls, as well as designing 3D visualization of their structures
- Completing tasks in projects demanding LOD 400-500 using my high experience in Autodesk Revit by designing my own parametric families 
- Exporting schedules for different elements in a project to ensure high quality procedures and improve schedule management.
- Providing help in structural modeling for curved and organic structures using my expertise in Rhino 3D
- Submission of tasks with high level of details while respecting my deadlines

In the realm of parametric design, I thrive in using Grasshopper in Rhino to create intricate and complex geometries, including grid shells and other visually captivating structures.
The skills I gained after such experience:
- Employment of various plugins to conduct comprehensive structural studies, gaining understanding of different structural systems and materials. 
-Algorithms programming in Grasshopper to optimize architectural aspects such as radiation, structural performance, and sustainability.
-Using programming languages like Python into scripting in Grasshopper, making data manipulation and geometry modeling more efficient.
-Grasshopper definitions that process diverse datasets, utilizing the power of data trees to tackle multifaceted challenges.
-Perfecting Data Scraping from various and different websites to create scientific datasets of specific elements.
