Approximately 10 years later I joined the IHS Group in 2022 as a Technical Specialist, where I am currently responsible for determining the technical feasibility of the IHS Affordable & Social Housing projects, IFC EDGE green building certification, identifying technical constraints and determining the impact of these constraints on the project budget and program.
