About

I am a Civil Engineer with a Master of Science (MSc) in Engineering Management specializing in Construction Management and several years of professional experience in structural engineering and building design.

I currently work in the School Buildings Design Department at the Ministry of Education in Palestine, where I design reinforced concrete school buildings, perform structural assessments of existing buildings, prepare quantity takeoffs, develop cost estimates, and support engineering decision-making throughout the design process.

My expertise includes structural design, CAD drafting, BIM fundamentals, construction management, quantity surveying, construction cost estimation, and engineering documentation. I am committed to delivering accurate, practical, and high-quality engineering solutions that comply with international engineering standards.

I am proficient in AutoCAD and have a strong understanding of structural analysis, reinforced concrete design, engineering drawings, construction documentation, project coordination, and technical reporting.

I enjoy working on projects involving civil engineering, structural design, CAD drafting, construction documentation, engineering calculations, and BIM workflows. I value clear communication, attention to detail, and delivering projects on schedule.
