About

I'm an Electrical Engineer with a first-honors degree from King Faisal University and a professional accreditation from the Saudi Council of Engineers (no. 1072727). My interests sit at the intersection of circuits, embedded systems, and power systems.

My focus is the full hardware loop — schematics, PCB layout, firmware, and the small web platforms that let a device be useful. I've built a multi-sensor infant-monitoring system, a wearable biometric wellbeing device with a companion web app, and the Fab Lab's own digital management platform.

Outside of prototypes, I coach students in robotics, embedded systems, and PCB fabrication — and contribute to senior-design projects in biomedical and electrical engineering at KFU.

What I do

01

PCB design & fabrication

Schematic capture and layout in KiCad, desktop prototyping on the Voltera V-One, and production runs through JLCPCB.

02

Embedded firmware & IoT

ESP32 and Arduino systems from sensor integration through networking, plus companion web platforms for control and telemetry.

03

Fab Lab consulting

Coaching students and teams on robotics, embedded systems, and PCB fabrication — from a first schematic to a working prototype.
