Led architectural efforts for multiple high-tech semiconductor cleanroom projects, collaborating closely with industrial engineers, fabrication specialists, and systems consultants.


Scopes included cleanroom design, facility expansion, and system integration with a focus on Class 1 cleanroom environments.


Selected Projects:


// New Cleanroom Facility & Support Area Expansion

Design and integration of a new 30,000 SF Class 1 cleanroom within an existing structure, including all necessary support spaces and infrastructure.


// Cleanroom Upgrades & Expansions

Oversaw architectural coordination for multiple Class 1 cleanroom updates and expansions exceeding 30,000 SF, developed in partnership with fabrication process teams to ensure seamless operation and code compliance.


// Clean Link Corridor Conversion

Transformed 3,000 SF of existing storage, mechanical, and circulation space into a clean link corridor, connecting existing and new Class 1 cleanroom environments while maintaining operational integrity.


// Embedded Architectural Support – Mask Operations Facility

Worked as an embedded contractor within the industrial engineering team to support all cleanroom and support area layouts. Responsibilities included tool layout planning and ensuring building code and cleanroom compliance for an advanced mask operation system.


// High-Level Systems Coordination

Directed architectural integration with critical industrial systems, including:


- Acid Waste Treatment (AWT)

- Air Handling Units (AHUs)

- Make-Up Air (MUA)

- Electrical Infrastructure

- Gowning and Fab Spaces

- Brine and UPW (Ultra-Pure Water) Treatment Systems
