The Person
Technical Director

Biography
I am a Technical Director and an expert in construction and renovation, specializing in modern restaurants, private homes, apartments, and commercial spaces. My experience ranges from transforming historic buildings into functional venues to delivering unique projects — from coffee roasteries to premium residential apartments.
From an early age, I've had the ability to adapt quickly to complex situations and find solutions where others see only dead ends. This trait has become my key tool in managing large-scale projects: from overcoming construction challenges to navigating documentation and regulatory approvals.
I solve problems fast — to keep moving forward — and thoroughly — so there's never a need to revisit them. My work is about complete transformation. I take the keys to an abandoned, empty space and leave only when the tables are set, the plates are ready, and the manager receives the symbolic new keys tied with a ribbon.
It's a journey from chaos to structure, from a bare framework to a space that operates as a seamless mechanism. And it's this responsibility for the final result that defines me and my work.
