Biography
I am an assistant architect and urban planner with a passion for extreme environment architecture, digital twins, and disaster preparedness. I earned my Doctorate in Architecture from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, where I focused on designing for extreme environments. My master’s capstone project, “HOLOʻĀINA: Digital Twin of Hawaiʻi,” involved using machine vision for disaster damage assessment. I have gained valuable international experience in architecture and urban planning, and I am committed to leveraging innovative technology to address real-world challenges.
