Department of Architecture, TCE- Anna University, Madurai - India
Associate Architect
A Square Architects, Coimbatore - India (Aug 2012 -Aug 2014)
Holding a position as an Associate in a start up firm not only gave me the opportunity to
handle several responsibilities but also experiment and explore various aspects of spatial
design in a variety of scales and types including residential, commercial, hospitality and
interior design. The role also required managerial skills to co-ordinate with clients,
consultants, contractors and agencies.
Visiting Faculty

As a visiting tutor for architectural design for students of 2nd semester, I was able to engage
students in a rigorous design process using research of design teaching methodologies from
other international institutions and also inculcating industry knowledge in academia.
Junior Architect
Khosla Associates, Bangalore - India (May 2011 -Jul 2012)
Working in this renowned Indian practice gave me the platform to build a strong foundation in
residential and hospitality projects at a design and detail level. Working in a small team of
three gave me a chance to hold responsibilities such as preparation of working and detail
drawings, site management, material handling and updating the team leader of the progress.
Architectural Intern
Fountainhead Architects, Bangalore - India (May 2009 -Oct 2009)
6 month internship in a prominent Bangalore based practice that specialized in eco friendly
architecture. As an intern I utilized the opportunity to test and explore the use of various eco
friendly materials in different architectural utilities.
As an enthusiastic and self motivated designer , I have recently
graduated with a Masters degree from the AA School of architecture in
Housing and Urbanism. I have a collective work experience of 3 and a
half years, holding different positions in various firms which has
enabled me to acquire skill sets with a very sound proficiency in
architectural design, detailing and office management.
I am currently looking to secure a position of a Part II architectural
assistant where I can add strategic value to the establishment with my
experience and education, and further my experience in the process.
