## About

```text
At SNC FRÈRES FRITAH, I provide technical after-sales support for agricultural machinery and diesel generator sets. I size generators and calculate power demand to recommend suitable capacities for clients.

I also supervise preventive and corrective maintenance, fault diagnosis, and warranty interventions. I manage technical documentation, spare parts inventory, and service reports.

At SONATRACH’s LNG Complex in Skikda, I designed and sized an inlet air cooling system for gas turbines, and a prototype was successfully developed. My thermodynamic simulations estimated an approximately 21% increase in gas turbine efficiency.

My projects include a scientific article on improving Mega-Train turbine performance through intake air cooling, published in South Eastern European Studies (SEES) in 2024. I also completed a comparative study of gas-fired and photovoltaic power plants at SONELGAZ and evaluated industrial HVAC systems during an internship at ECMK.
