I like understanding how things work—and making that understanding visible.

My education and project experience connect architecture with an engineering foundation. After civil engineering studies at ITC in Cambodia, I continued my studies in Japan, completing Architecture Design at Nihon Kogakuin and a Bachelor of Engineering in Architecture at Mie University.

That path has shaped how I approach a project: develop the spatial idea, test its relationships in drawings and models, and communicate the detail clearly. In material research, it means preparing experiments and reading the results carefully. In practice, it means carrying dimensions, levels and layouts consistently through a drawing set.

I completed my architectural internship with PH Construction / Peng Huoth Group in August 2026. My work covered two estate buildings, from architectural layouts to stair and sanitary details, with structural coordination and initial MEP discussions within the practice team.

01

What I bring
to a team.

My strongest contribution is connecting design, technical work and clear communication. I am early in my career, and I take the work of learning and following through seriously.

Design with evidence

Original proposals supported by plans and sections, and material decisions examined through laboratory testing and data analysis.

Care in the details

AutoCAD documentation that connects overall layouts with dimensions, levels, stairs and sanitary arrangements within a coordinated drawing set.

Learning through doing

Experience adapting across Japan and Cambodia. Currently developing Revit skills through an L-shaped family house at schematic design stage.
