Industrial robotic automation expert

" I am an accomplished Industrial Automation Engineer with over 8 years of experience specialising in KUKA robotic systems and advanced mechatronic integration. Holding a Masters degree in Mechatronics, I began my career with KUKA as a Service Engineer, where I gained hands-on expertise across installation, commissioning, and programming of diverse robotic applications. Over five years, I evolved into a regional lead, managing service and deployment strategies for critical automation projects.

Currently based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, I serve as a Senior Automation Engineer in a high-performance manufacturing company. Here, I lead cross-functional technical teams in driving project execution, production optimization, and maintenance planning. My scope includes strategic oversight of PLC programming, machining centre supervision, forging operations, heat treatment, and internal technical training initiatives.

I possess a solid foundation in Siemens PLC and SCADA systems, with certified training in KUKA Programming 1, TQ Basic, and recent exposure to AI and machine learning fundamentals through online curriculum from Caltech.

My multidisciplinary approach enables me to navigate complex industrial environments, enhance productivity through smart automation, and contribute to future-forward engineering solutions. "
