SEMIR
HAJI.
From CAD to working hardware.
I design mechanisms, build prototypes, and work through the details that make them function. My experience spans autonomous underwater vehicles, CAD modeling, and independent engineering projects.
The work. And what went into it.
CityLink — second place at the industry hackathon
Second place at the industry hackathon! A few weeks ago I didn't really know most of my teammates. We were just engineering students who shared one thing: we wanted to compete. This weekend, that was enough. Our project, CityLink, is a web app that fixes a real problem in the current 311 dispatch system: important cases don't get distributed or prioritized the way they should. We built a smarter way to route them to where they matter most. The lowest point came after our first presentation. We had no idea whether we'd made the shortlist for a second showcase. Then they called our name to present again, and that's when I knew we had a shot. My biggest takeaway: don't focus on the prize, focus on what it takes to get there. Showing up, building, and trusting your team is what got us on that stage. Thank you to Jacob Hailemariam, Bennett Balogh, and Colby Cadden for an incredible run, and to the organizers for putting on such a great event.
Four-cylinder engine
Excited to share one of my latest projects — a four-cylinder engine designed and assembled in Autodesk Inventor. A huge thank you to "SOLID CAM PRO" for creating such a helpful tutorial that guided me through the design and assembly process. It was a great learning experience and helped me build a stronger understanding of CAD, assemblies, and mechanical design. This is just the first step of many more engineering projects to come. I'm looking forward to continuing to learn, build, and tackle more complex designs.
Jet engine
I recently modeled a jet engine in Autodesk Inventor, challenging myself to learn more about 3D modeling. A huge thank you to the YouTube tutorial "Jet Engine in Autodesk Inventor" for helping guide me through the process. Following experienced creators while building the model taught me new techniques that I'll continue applying to future projects. This is just the beginning.

Curiosity. With a practical side.
I'm Semir, a mechanical engineering student who enjoys understanding how things work — and finding ways to make them work better.
My experience spans autonomous underwater vehicle design, CAD modeling, and independent engineering projects. I like the entire process: working through constraints, building a prototype, figuring out why something failed, and improving the next version.
