Bashar Shaaban

Co-led structural manufacturing under aggressive timelines to build intricate, large-scale mobile robots compliant with precise competitive technical rulebooks.

• Utilized SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Blender to blueprint structures down to high structural tolerance (1/1000th of an inch).
• Executed manual and automated machining, structural welding, circuit wiring, and custom 3D printing.
• Integrated Java, Python, and C++ codebases for full mobile platform control and remote-control stability.
• Secured top 3 in multiple engineering competitions.

Created a backyard home theatre with many self-designed and manufactured functionalities.

• Integrated a custom Magnetic Projectile Firing mechanism engineered for high targeting accuracy using a bolt, copper wire, and a battery.
• Programmed embedded system layouts and microcontrollers in C++ utilizing Arduinos.
• Achieved the highest overall manufacturing and performance design score out of several hundred competing engineering teams.

Independently designed and built a physical tracking/targeting mechanical device operated via a manual joystick configuration.

• Coded device behaviors from scratch using C++ (with a secondary C# version) to achieve 270-degree 3D rotational accuracy.
• Assembled the structural mechanism with a limited custom-parts inventory, executing manual wiring, hardware soldering, and designing a makeshift integrated power cell.
