About

Born in Italy in Sha’ban 1421 AH and raised across two continents, I completed my high school education in Morocco before pursuing higher studies in mechanical engineering in France. This diverse background has shaped my engineering approach, combining precision, creativity, and a global perspective.

Projects

2024
Biaxial Traction Bench at Hôpital Civil de Strasbourg

Developed a custom biaxial traction bench for testing the elasticity and durability of artificial membranes used in pediatric surgery. Integrated mechanical and electronic components, with future iterations including thermally controlled environments.

2023
Exoskeleton for Rehabilitation at Université de Strasbourg

Designed a prototype exoskeleton to aid in rehabilitation for upper limb mobility. The project involved CAD modeling in SolidWorks, material analysis in Granta Edupack, and prototype fabrication using 3D printing technologies.

2023
Automated Stock Manager at Université de Strasbourg

Designed and implemented a fully automated stock management system using Excel and VBA. Integrated barcode scanners and predictive analytics for stock forecasting, streamlining warehouse operations for 40+ employees.

2022
Valve Body Production at Université Grenoble Alpes

Spearheaded the optimization of valve body production using a 5-axis machine, developing ISO programs and ensuring precise control quality with metrology tools.

2022
Hydro Mandrel Design at Université Grenoble Alpes

Developed a hydrostatic mandrel capable of lifting coils weighing over 2 tonnes via hydraulic pistons. Full design and simulation completed using SolidWorks. Led from concept to final design.

Work Experience

2023 — 2024
Logistics and Stock Coordinator at LIDL
Eckbolsheim, France

Managed stock logistics, ensured timely and efficient supply chains, and optimized warehouse operations for better performance. Focused on inventory management and reducing operational downtime.

Technician in Production at VICAT
Saint-Egrève, France

Assisted in the maintenance and optimization of production machinery, focusing on preventative measures and operational efficiency. Gained hands-on experience in mechanical systems management and production workflow improvement.

Side Projects

Ongoing
AI Camera for Theft and Loss Detection in Retail

Currently developing an AI-powered security camera system to detect theft and product consumption in retail environments. Inspired by my time working at Lidl, this system simulates a security guard by monitoring 24/7, automatically notifying staff with a photo and location of potential theft or damage via smartphone alerts.

Ongoing

Developed a minimalist, personality-focused portfolio website using Webflow. The project showcases creativity, design skills, and knowledge of user experience, serving as a digital representation of my personal and professional identity.

2023
3D Door Design

Designed a customizable 3D door model on Autodesk Inventor, featuring an integrated code system that allows users to input specifications (size, material, thickness, etc.). The tool calculates door weight, recommends hinge placement based on weight, and provides an estimated production cost, automating a significant portion of the design-to-manufacturing process.

2023
Data Analysis with API Integration for Stock Market

Created a data analysis tool integrating real-time stock market data via API to drive AI-based trading decisions. The project focuses on automating trading strategies using machine learning algorithms for predictive analysis of stock performance.

2023
Fitness Tracker API Integration

Developed a custom integration on Notion using APIs to link fitness tracking apps with personalized data analysis tools. This project enables real-time tracking of ultramarathon training metrics and dynamically adjusts personal training sessions based on user data. It demonstrates my proficiency in API integration and my ability to create tailored solutions for fitness optimization.

2022
Poker Holdem Game in Python

Developed a Texas Holdem poker game using Python. The project includes features for multi-player rounds, hand evaluations, and betting logic. This project demonstrates my coding proficiency in game development and algorithm design.

Education

2023 — Now
Master's Degree in Industrial Engineering at Strasbourg University
Strasbourg, France

Design and Ergonomics.

2020 — 2023
Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering at Grenoble Alpes University
Grenoble, France
2017 — 2020
Technical High School Diploma at Settat High School
Casablanca, Morocco
