My Approach
How I think, build, and solve.
Detail-Driven
I believe great engineering lives in the details. From precise logic to clean design, I polish every element until it performs and feels exactly as intended.
Innovation-Focused
Every project is a chance to create something that didn’t exist before. I look for smarter ways to solve problems — blending creativity, technology, and real-world impact.
Relentlessly Curious
I question assumptions, test ideas, and learn fast. Curiosity drives my work — whether it’s tuning a PID loop, refining an algorithm, or experimenting with a new framework.
Tech Stack
projects
minesweeper robot
An intelligent landmine detection robot designed to identify and map buried mines using camera vision and metal detection sensors. I worked in the software and AI development, implementing algorithms for autonomous navigation, object detection, and real-time mapping. The project represented Jordan in the Minesweeper Robot Competition held in Egypt, It later won Third Place in the Jordan Design and Development Bureau’s (JODDB) Creative Excellence Initiative. As part of the award, we developed an advanced second version funded by JODDB, which was showcased at SOFEX 2024, integrating improved AI perception and control systems for enhanced performance in real-world environments.
underwater drone
An underwater drone developed as part of the Orange Summer Challenge, where participants built technology-driven startup ideas. Our project aimed to tackle marine safety and ecosystem balance by integrating AI-based dangerous object detection, specifically identifying lionfish species. The drone is powered by a Raspberry Pi and Pixhawk controller, featuring brushless motors, LED lighting, and a live video feed system. it enables real-time underwater monitoring, making it suitable for environmental research, oceanography, and future commercial applications in marine exploration.
