🎯 My Approach
I see Quality not as a department, but as a culture. My focus is on creating systems where excellence becomes the standard—from the first design drawing to the final project handover.
✅ Anticipating and mitigating risks before they become issues.
✅ Aligning diverse stakeholders under a unified quality vision.
✅ Building sustainable frameworks for long-term project success.
