OBJECTIVE

Seeking a challenging workplace in a dynamic and progressive organization to develop my skills as a Civil Engineer by working in a stimulating environment. EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

2001 – 2015 Al Khor International School – British Stream

• BSC Entry Level Award in Workplace Hazard Awareness (Entry 3) 2012: Health and Safety certification.

• Additional Science GCSE Award 2014: Highest academic achiever.

• The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award (Bronze level) 2014: Youth awards programme founded in the United Kingdom in 1956 that has expanded to 144 nations. The bronze level challenged me to navigate through the desert using traditional methods and limited equipment. Communication, Leadership and Trust were key traits I took away from this experience. 2016 – 2020 Qatar University – Doha, Qatar

Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering GPA = 3.57/4.00

• Dean’s List Student & Scholar 2016 – 2020

• ASCE Student Association 2019: Assist professors in preparing site visits and conducting events for the civil engineering department.

• Design of a Pedestrian Bridge (Senior Design Project I) Spring 2019: Explored different design options for the construction of a pedestrian bridge within the Qatar University campus. The design options include: Arch-tied bridge, Truss Bridge and Cable-stayed bridge. Evaluations were conducted for each alternative using preliminary analysis and design.

• Design of a Pedestrian Bridge (Senior Design Project II) Fall 2019: Detailed design of a steel truss bridge that encompasses different structural elements such as the steel truss members, bracings, connections and foundation. The final- outcome of the pedestrian bridge accomplished all intended outcomes and deliverables as it enhanced the safety of pedestrian crossing and reduce vehicles usage.

• Senior Design Project Poster Competition (1st Place Position) Fall 2019: The poster competition was hosted to showcase the final-outcome of every senior group’s design.

• Senior Design Project Presentation (2nd Place Position) Fall 2019: A formal presentation held in Qatar University where we presented to external examiners, engineers and respected doctors.

WORK EXPERIENCE

July 2017: Civil Engineer Intern

Car Park Project in Qatar University

TADMUR Contracting W.L.L

• Perform several site visits to understand different aspects of the project.

• Prepare reports ensuring company standards are met.

• Support the site engineers on their daily duties.

• Review and organize files from the engineering department. May 2019 – June 2019: Civil Engineer Intern

Katara Twin Tower Hotel Project in Lusail

HBK

• I was assigned to different departments to understand the roles/responsibilities of all employees in that department. The departments include Construction & Engineering, Planning, QS, HSE, and QA/QC

• Regular site visits were also conducted with site engineers and the construction manager to familiarize the concept of the IFC and GA drawings with the site.

• Examine revised drawings and report the beams that were added/omitted so that the QS department can calculate the new BOQ.

• Conduct risk assessments that highlights various risks involved in an activity.

• Regular site visits were performed with QA/QC engineers to monitor the fluidity of work, for instance, the inspection of initial and final stressing to guarantee maximum strength.

• Multidisciplinary experience with electrical and mechanical engineers. June 2019 - July 2019: Civil Engineer Intern

Infrastructure and Road Works in Bani Hajer

HBK

• The departments I was assigned to include Surveying, Technical, Environmental, QA/QC and Planning.

• Check the presence of FH and SV valves at certain locations on the layout drawing.

• Control, measure and monitor any issues related to health/safety/environment.

• Understand drawings such as the CUD (Combined Utility Drawings) and interpret the ordering of appropriate materials.

• Observe construction work such as excavations, trenching and pipe laying.

• Multidisciplinary experience with electrical and mechanical engineers. Sept. 2019 – Feb. 2020: Research assistant & author Research project on Pavement Markings at Transition Zones IEEE

• Title: Effectiveness of Speed Limit Pavement Markings at Transition Zones Along Expressways

• Eighty-one drivers with a valid Qatari driving license participated in the driving simulator study.

• Speed limit encircled markings were placed on the road surface at transition from 120 to 100 kph. The markings were based on forced perspective illusion where size of the markings was gradually increasing in the traveling direction.

• This driving simulator study evaluated the effect of speed limit pavement markings on driving behaviour.

• The primary elements of the driving simulator are a driving unit and three large screen (5760 x 1080 pixels; 60 hertz refresh rate) that offers 135- degree field of view (Fig. 1).

• The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of perceptual measure via pavement markings on driving behavior i.e. travel speed, acceleration/deceleration, and lateral position at transition zone

(120 kph to 100 kph).

• The analysis was based on 11 points on the road segment and 2 scenarios

(Control and Treated) along with ANOVA and MANOVA tests.

• The results of our research project indicated that speed reduction and acceleration/deceleration were significant, whereas, lateral position was insignificant using our implemented design.

SKILLS

• Languages: Proficient command of written and spoken English
