“I have a deep passion for technology and always enjoyed creating 2D layouts for my electricians on-site. Transitioning to 3D modeling has been incredibly rewarding,” Moo said. “Every project is unique and comes with its own challenges. The sense of accomplishment I feel in contributing to the team’s success is indescribable. My VDC team is the best.”
Reflecting on his journey in the construction industry, Moo shared, “I always dreamed of working in construction, even as a kid. I thought it was fascinating to build things. Having a family member in the industry gave me the opportunity to get involved.”
