About

Senior R&D Mechanical Design Engineer with 6+ years of end-to-end experience developing complex industrial systems, robotic automation, and precision machinery. Certified SolidWorks Expert and professional trainer, with deep hands-on expertise in Siemens NX, ANSYS (FEA/CFD), and Autodesk Inventor.
My core strengths span the full design lifecycle — from concept and 3D modeling to structural simulation, DFM/DFA optimization, and production-ready documentation. I specialize in precision transmission design using KISSsoft and GearTech, and manage design data through SolidWorks PDM/Vault and Autodesk Vault.
I hold a rare combination of skills: advanced Reverse Engineering using Geomagic Design X (Scan-to-CAD from point clouds and STL data), 5-axis CNC programming with Mastercam and NX CAM, and applied AI research in Robot Vision and Deep Learning (Python/PyTorch/CNN) for industrial environments.
Notable experience includes leading R&D of 5-axis painting robots and palletizer systems at EMATECH, CNC programming for optical components on DMG/Mazak/Haas machines at Arab International Optronics, and full product lifecycle management via Odoo ERP across multiple industrial sectors.
B.Sc. Design & Production Engineering — Mansoura University (Highest Honors, 1st of Class). IELTS Academic 7.5. Certifications: SolidWorks Expert, Sandvik Metal Cutting Technology, Quality Control (AUC), TOT (Supreme Council of Universities).
