BIM and digital delivery professional with over 17 years of experience in Hong Kong's architectural industry, progressing from CAD technician to Senior Technical Designer and BIM Coordinator at Lead8. Specialised in information management, façade BIM coordination, and digital project delivery across large-scale mixed-use developments. Currently coordinating façade BIM for Central Yards — Henderson Land's landmark ~150,000 m² (1.6 million sq ft) mixed-use development on Hong Kong's New Central Harbourfront — managing model coordination, design intent DD packages, and cloud-based collaboration via Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) and EDMS workflows.
