Experience

Transformer Design & Marketing Engineer

Hammad Group of CompaniesworkNov 2025 – Present

Summary

Designed a 25 kVA dry-type transformer with special insulation for enhanced dielectric performance. Engineered cost-optimized 50 kVA & 100 kVA distribution transformer designs, reducing material cost. Contributed to Aluminum-wound transformer design as a lower-cost alternative to copper-wound units. Collaborated with a Turkish design consultant on quotation management and pricing strategy. Built a traceability & quality management app (QC digitization) for the manufacturing process. Coordinated procurement of humidity/gas sensors for transformer condition monitoring. Performed electrical/mechanical design calculations, core & winding selection, and loss optimization. Prepared technical proposals, cost estimations, and datasheets per customer specifications.

Results

  • Reduced material cost through engineered cost-optimized 50 kVA & 100 kVA distribution transformer designs
  • Digitized QC process by building a traceability & quality management app

Projects

Bilateral Teleoperation System (2-DOF)

Lead Designer & Researcheracademic
Published IEEE Conference Paper. Designed & fabricated master–slave serial-link manipulators with position-position architecture. Derived and applied full LaGrange dynamic model (mass, Coriolis, gravity matrices) for both arms. Implemented analog proportional controllers using LM741 op-amps and TIP122/TIP127 Darlington drivers. Built current-amplifier and gate-drive stages to interface controllers with DC motor actuators. Validated free-motion and contact-motion performance via MATLAB/Simulink and ESPIAL hardware logging. Co-authored and published results as an IEEE international conference paper. Later Converted into Computer vision based teleoperated robot.
