Who I Am

About Me

Aerospace engineer with an MSc from the University of Sheffield and hands-on experience across UAV systems development, structural analysis, and avionics integration. I have worked on projects that actually flew — and one that made it to orbit.

"Using aerospace technology to solve real-world problems — from healthcare logistics to space systems."

Currently based in Dubai, UAE with a valid residence visa, actively seeking aerospace engineering roles in structures, UAV design and testing, and systems integration across the UAE, Europe, and globally.

Published researcher in composite materials for aerospace structural applications, with expertise in ANSYS FEA, CATIA V5, MATLAB/Simulink, and airworthiness compliance under EASA and FAA frameworks.
