About

Graduate in mechanical and industrial engineering and holder of a Master's in Engineering. I have solid experience in project management, process optimization, industrial maintenance, and continuous improvement. Seeking a position in mechanical or industrial engineering, I aim to leverage my technical and analytical skills to contribute to an organization's efficiency, innovation, and performance improvement.

Experience

Research Internship - Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC) – Centre de soudage par friction malaxage (CSFM) - Chicoutimi, Canada

(2026-01 - 2026-06)

Research Internship – Optimization of Double-Shoulder Friction Stir Welding (FSW):

Designed and modeled a 3D double-shoulder friction stir welding tool in SolidWorks (pin geometry, upper and lower shoulders, dimensional parameters, and tolerances).
Conducted experimental FSW welding tests while varying operating parameters (rotation speed, travel speed, and penetration depth).
Analyzed the thermo-mechanical phenomena generated during the process and their influence on weld formation.
Performed mechanical characterization of the joints through hardness testing (microhardness profile across the stir zone and HAZ).
Conducted a comparative analysis of hardness variations between the core, the thermo-mechanically affected zone, and the base metal.
Processed experimental data to develop an optimization model based on artificial intelligence techniques.
Contributed to improving process stability and the mechanical performance of welded joints.

Final-Year Internship - LafargeHolcim Maroc - Bouskoura, Maroc

(2022-03 - 2022-07)

Production planning project to reduce electricity consumption at the cement mill:

Production process analysis: Conducted a comprehensive study of the production cycle, from the extraction of raw materials at the quarry to the shipment of cement, in bags or in bulk.
Forecast planning: Analyzed the previous year's sales forecasts to establish the plant's annual production capacity based on the different types of cement.
Production capacity assessment: Identified the throughput and capacity of each cement mill, as well as daily working hours.
Weekly production planning: Implemented the MRP (Management des Ressources de Production) method to organize the weekly production of each type of cement, assigning the appropriate mills.
Energy optimization: Calculated and reduced weekly electricity consumption to improve the energy efficiency of operations.

Practical Internship - S2G test industriel-la qualité du contrôle - Mohammedia, Maroc

(2021-06 - 2021-08)

Project to inspect and assess the quality of the rails in Zone 3 at Marsa Maroc:

Visual inspection of Zone 3: Used the radiographic method of non-destructive testing to detect internal rail defects.
Application of the radiographic method: Conducted radiographic non-destructive testing to identify potential internal defects in the rails.
Results analysis and detailed report: Thoroughly analyzed the results obtained, prepared a detailed report for the client, and recommended the immediate suspension of operations in Zone 3 and the replacement of all affected rails.

Practical Internship - La Société Marocaine d'Engrenages et de Mécanique (SMEM) - Casablanca, Maroc

(2020-07 - 2020-08)

Project to study a mechanical part (the eccentric shaft of the jaw crusher):

Preliminary analysis: Studied the overall operation of the jaw crusher and collected the necessary technical specifications, such as dimensions and materials, while identifying the mechanical and functional constraints associated with the eccentric shaft.
Computer-aided design (CAD) with CATIA: Used CATIA's Part Design and Generative Shape Design modules to integrate the part into the crusher's mechanical assembly and verify its fit and compatibility with the other components; performed dimensional analysis to validate tolerances and mechanical clearances to ensure proper part operation.
Technical documentation: Created detailed technical drawings with dimensions, tolerances, and annotations, and prepared a final report describing the project stages, analysis results, and manufacturing recommendations.

Final-Year Internship - Hôpital enfant ibn sina - Rabat, Maroc

(2019-05 - 2019-07)

Incubator study project (maintenance department):

Operational analysis and troubleshooting: Studied the incubator's overall system and performed diagnostics to identify recurring failures or operating anomalies.
Preventive and corrective equipment maintenance: Carried out regular preventive maintenance and performed the necessary corrective work, including replacing defective components.
Energy and mechanical performance optimization: Analyzed the energy performance of the incubators and proposed solutions to improve energy efficiency and optimize mechanical components.

Final-Year Internship - Usine de construction métallique (SGTM) - Bouznika, Maroc

(2018-06 - 2018-08)

Project to optimize machine maintenance at a metal construction plant:

Machine inspection and diagnostics: Conducted regular inspections of the plant's machines to detect failures or anomalies and performed diagnostics using appropriate measuring tools.
Preventive and corrective equipment maintenance: Participated in preventive machine maintenance and carried out repairs or replaced defective parts to ensure proper operation.
Intervention tracking and documentation: Prepared reports detailing the maintenance work performed and recommended actions to optimize equipment management.

Practical Internship - Atelier de bobinage de moteurs électriques (SGTM) - Bouznika, Maroc

(2017-07 - 2017-08)

Electric motor repair and rewinding project:

Electric motor disassembly and inspection: Assisted with disassembling motors to identify problems and inspect internal components.
Winding repair and replacement: Participated in repairing defective windings by replacing damaged wires and winding new wires.
Assembly and testing of repaired motors: Assisted with assembling repaired motors and performed operational tests to ensure their performance.
