⭐ Maintaining a GPA of 3.78 — Excellent with Honors at AAST · Mechatronics Engineering.
I'm passionate about embedded systems, automotive engineering, and robotics. There's something that drives me about making hardware think — writing firmware that brings circuits to life, designing mechanisms that move with purpose, and solving real-world problems at the intersection of software and the physical world.
I've had the chance to turn that passion into real experience: interning at Renault (EIM) doing full automotive maintenance and gearbox overhauls, building PID-controlled robots, running ANSYS structural simulations, and designing IoT systems in the field. I ranked 1st in my university in both the 4th and 5th semesters at AAST, and competed internationally at UAVC 2024 with RobEn AAST's UAV team.
Alongside my engineering work, I run a freelance practice on ICCY — coaching students in robotics, CAD, data analysis, and engineering fundamentals, and delivering projects like CVs, portfolios, and ML models. 20+ satisfied clients and counting.
