What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on role leading fabrication or design teams where I can apply CAD/CAM and lab management skills, mentor learners, and drive prototype-to-production projects.

I am an Aviation & Industrial CAD-CAM engineer with eight years of diverse industry experience designing and fabricating products across aerospace, machines, furniture, and art wood models. I combine hands-on workshop leadership with advanced CAD/CAM skills to take concepts through manufacturing.

I have led fabrication and digital lab teams, instructed FabLab programs across Upper Egypt, and worked as a mechanical CAD instructor and freelance design engineer. Notable achievements include an excellent-graded UAV graduation project and leading the design and manufacture of Egypt's first slaughter box.

I bring practical experience with 3D printing, CNC routing/milling, plasma and laser cutting, and maintenance-tool design for military and commercial contexts. I am collaborative, creative, and focused on delivering manufacturable, high-quality designs that meet production needs.
