01 /ENGINEERING PROFILE
Engineering insight.
From site to decision.
I am a Mechanical Engineer at AALCO in Qatar, working at the intersection of smart water metering, field troubleshooting and practical digital tools.
With a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering and training across water treatment, power generation and oil and gas, I connect technical understanding with site realities. My work includes M-Bus communication checks, NFC and HHU/Itron tools, technical documentation and follow-up of field issues.
I created AALCO Field Operations and AALCO Projects to turn daily visits, assignments and reporting into organised workflows. What I bring to a project team is a practical combination: hands-on field understanding, clear information and the initiative to build useful tools.

JUN 2025 — PRESENTCurrent role
AALCO
Mechanical Engineer · Smart Water Metering
At AALCO, I support smart water meter inspection, communication checks and rectification activities. I connect practical site findings with the technical records and updates that the AMI team needs to follow up.
- Checked more than 10,000 meter communication and signal cases using field tools and applications.
- Use M-Bus, NFC, HHU and Itron tools to check meter data, capture signals and document observations.
- Prepare field updates, coordinate assigned visits and escalate unresolved observations to project teams.
