I am a highly skilled mechanical engineer and CAD product designer with extensive experience in automotive engineering. During the past few years, I have acquired my bachelor degree, worked on lots of projects, have been the team leader to the biggest formula student team in the middle east -ASU Racing Team-, and currently near finishing my master's degree in mechanical engineering, specialized in automotive engineering from Politecnico di Milano, one of the highest ranked universities in the world in my field. The skills gained from all of these experiences varies from those on a personal level to ones on the professional career level. Viewing those skills more closely: # Autodesk Inventor # Fusion 360 # Rhino 8 # Solidworks # MATLAB, SIMULINK and MATLAB Sim-Scape # Blender and Keyshot for rendering # 3D scanning, 3D printing and slicing # Microsoft office software. Putting my project management experience to the equation and the result is a very clear vision of targets, goals, timelines and timeframes and always delivering the requested tasks on time with the quality it was intended to have. But the thing that I count to be my highlight is the ability to adapt new working environments, learning new skills and always searching for routs and ways to make my work or the work of my team in the best possible shape. So what are you waiting for! Just send me the work you dream to see reality, get it done in the most pleasing way and let your business grow in front of your eyes.

I help clients turn ideas, sketches, or physical parts into manufacturable, production-ready CAD models — whether you're building a prototype, need existing parts reverse-engineered, or want a design fixed before it goes to manufacturing. What I can do for you: • Turn a rough sketch, hand-measured part, or reference photo into a fully modeled, dimensioned 3D CAD assembly • Reverse-engineer a physical product or STL file into an editable, parametric SolidWorks model • Review and fix a design for 3D printing before you spend money on production • Run FEA simulation (Ansys/SolidWorks) to catch structural or vibration problems before you build a physical prototype • Create assembly animations to visualize how your mechanism moves, or to use in a pitch/demo I'm a Certified SolidWorks CAD Design Professional (CSWP), with additional certifications in Additive Manufacturing (CSWA-AM) and Simulation (CSWA-S). Beyond project work, I've also taught SolidWorks as a course curriculum designer and instructor for university students — so if you or your team need training (in Arabic or English) rather than or alongside a finished model, I can help with that too. Send me your sketch, photo, or existing file and a short description of what you need — I'll tell you honestly whether it's something I can help with, and give you a realistic timeline before you commit.

Most CAD models look good on screen but are difficult to build in the shop. I specialize in turning designs into production-ready parts and assemblies that are easy to cut, bend, weld and assemble. Mechanical designer with 20+ years of experience, focused on Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and real-world fabrication. I help transform ideas, sketches, or existing CAD models into practical, buildable solutions — reducing cost, simplifying production, and improving reliability. What I do best: • Sheet metal design (laser cutting, bending, welding) • Fixing and improving CAD models for manufacturing • Creating production-ready files (DXF, STEP, shop drawings) • Reverse engineering from photos, sketches, or measurements • Reducing part count and simplifying assembly • Tolerance stack analysis • GD&T tolerances I also have strong experience in: • Mechanical design of automated machinery and assemblies • Plastic part design for injection molding (DFM, draft angles, ribs, bosses, tooling considerations) My approach is always practical: I design parts based on how they will actually be manufactured, assembled, and used — not just how they look in CAD. ✔ 16,000+ hours on Upwork (Top Rated Plus) ✔ 50+ satisfied clients ✔ Strong focus on real-world, buildable engineering solutions If you need someone who understands both design and how things are actually built, I can help. ✅Keywords Mechanical Design Sheet Metal SolidWorks PTC Creo Design for Manufacturing (DFM) CAD Design Product Design Fabrication Laser Cutting Metal Fabrication Welding Bending Manufacturing Drawings DXF STEP Machine Design Assembly Design Reverse Engineering Injection Molding Plastic Design Mold Design
