About Amir
I'm Amir — an electrical engineer passionate about fusion energy, resource technologies, and space systems. I’m interested in developing reliable hardware, software, and infrastructure for extreme environments, especially where energy systems, controls, and real-world constraints intersect.
Here's a snapshot of my method:
- I strive to build effective team and hardware structures that enable high-quality, reliable products.
- I have worked under pressure across various project teams and competitions, often taking on multiple roles to deliver results.
- I incorporate stakeholder input and feedback loops to clarify requirements, improve designs, and keep projects aligned with real needs.
- I use prototyping frameworks, multiple high-level programming languages, database and project management tools, and engineering design software to move ideas from early concepts into testable systems.
Outside of engineering, I love skating, surfing, and music. On weekends, you’ll usually find me working on a creative project, skating a new spot, or checking the surf.
Feel free to reach out with any questions or opportunities.
