1- freelance Civil & structural Analysis & design.

2- structural consultant. 

I have worked in Power Planet Project as a construction engineer. This gave the experience of interacting with real structures in reality and outlining the main and potential issues that may face Engineers in the design. Currently, I am working in SAIPEM/IRAQ BRANCH as a Civil & Structural Field Engineer in Oil & Gas project of developing degassing station DS-6. My duties are: raising Technical Queries & Site Queries, drawing review, giving site instruction for construction team at site, supervising steel modification & preparing Technical Bide Evaluation. At the same time, I have my freelance business as a structural engineer designing simple structures. One the freelance work was design footing for a spooling unties with a steel cantiliver shed 7mx6m for one of Halliburton's projects.

 I am a civil engineer with a master degree from United States (PSU). In my masters, I have published a journal paper studying the effects of non-steel fillers on steel connections using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The paper was published in 2019 titled as "Structural behavior of bolted steel lap shear connections with thermally insulating filler plates". This gave me a strong background dealing with AISC & ASTM standers.
