Around the World and Back to Architecture with Jamiul Choudhury

Two weeks ago I spoke to Jamiul Choudhury, who is a Part II Architectural Assistant and a winner of BBC's Race Across the World.

We crossed paths because I was watching the series and Jamiul is actively looking for a job during these crazy times. You only need to watch the series to see what a credible person Jamiul is, it's a living breathing reference and testament of character which you can view on iPlayer!

Jamiul is available to start work in London, he has industry experience, the grades and Revit skills to boot - as well as fighting all odds and overcoming other competitors in his race across the world. Humble, hard-working and dedicated. He is the type of person I would want on my team!
