Electronics
- Analog front ends for weak sensor signals, power and battery systems, custom PCBs in KiCAD, Eagle and Altium.
- Assembled, reworked and debugged on the bench with scope, spectrum and logic analyzers.
Electronics & Embedded Systems Engineer
I build hardware that works in the field.
Schematic, PCB, enclosure, firmware, field test: one pair of hands, start to finish. Over six years in KAUST's sensor labs I took underwater dosing systems, animal tracking tags, gas detectors and lab robots from whiteboard sketches to working units in the Red Sea, the Caspian Sea and the greenhouse. Now completing a master's in Robotics & Automatic Control and open to embedded and hardware engineering roles in robotics and automation.

How I work
Whole-device thinking
Most hardware fails at the seams between disciplines: the board that does not fit the housing, the firmware that never met the real sensor, the enclosure that leaks at 30 metres. I own all of those seams.
Mechanical
- Enclosures, potting moulds and pressure housings in SolidWorks, Fusion 360 and PTC Creo.
- Made on the lathe, mill, CNC, laser and water-jet, or printed in FDM and SLA. Pressure-tested for depth.
Embedded & connected
- Firmware on STM32, Nordic, Espressif, Atmel and Padauk parts. CAN, BLE, LoRa, cellular and ARGOS satellite links.
- Enough software to make the hardware useful: C/C++ on the device, Python for tooling, Kotlin for companion apps.

A look at the work
Projects
Selected work
Three of six devices. Each one was designed, built, programmed and field-tested by me, with the researchers who needed it.
01
Coral Reef Probiotic Dispenser
An autonomous underwater doser that keeps heat-stressed coral supplied with probiotics for up to six months per charge.

Plant Root Phenotyping Machine
A 4-axis imaging robot with heated stages and programmable lighting that feeds a deep-learning root analysis pipeline. Patented.
Read the build03
Marine Animal Tracking Tag
A potted, submersible tag that logs GPS, depth and orientation and offloads over LoRa or ARGOS satellite when the animal surfaces.
