Strengths & Skillsets
Hardware Engineering & IoT: Deep hands-on experience with the ESP32 ecosystem (S3, H2, and C3) to build reliable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee devices.

Professional PCB Design: Proficient in KiCad with a focus on robust routing. I design boards with top and bottom ground fills connected via vias and carefully manage decoupling capacitor placement for stable power delivery.

Industrial & Sensor Integration: Skilled in utilizing isolated communication protocols (like RS-485 and DMX) for industrial control and integrating advanced AI-capable environmental sensors (Bosch BME688, ScioSense ENS161).

Rapid Prototyping: Accustomed to full-cycle hardware development, including using tools like the Voltera V-One to print and drill custom circuit boards in-house.

Projects & Accomplishments
Custom DMX Control System: Engineered a complete ESP32-based DMX controller using an ADM2587E isolated transceiver. I successfully deployed a second iteration that features a 3.3V step-down regulator, microSD storage, audio output integration, and wind sensor data processing.

AI-Powered Air Quality Monitor: Developed an advanced environmental sensor array inspired by the open-source AirCube, leveraging AI capabilities for precise gas and VOC classification.

Commercial Fleet Tracking: Architected a professional, production-ready GPS tracking hardware solution designed to sync with a centralized web dashboard for multi-device monitoring.

Education & Experience
Professional Experience: Gained extensive practical experience at Fontaine Yasmine, a public fountain company, where I built and maintained hardware systems utilizing DMX protocols and PLCs in demanding, real-world public installations.

Academic Background: Formal education in Web Development and Multimedia.

Hardware Engineering: Self-taught electronics designer and embedded developer. I built my hardware foundation through hands-on application, bridging the gap between web software and physical electronics in real-world commercial environments.
