Conducted literature research into surgical education/training and adult learning theories, discussed and solicited feedback on our prototypes from surgeons. Developed, tested, then automated the testing (Java) of several prototype sensors. Prototyped circuit designs and developed microcontroller (Arduino/C++) firmware. Coordinated with various teams about aspects and components of the project. Drafted engineering drawings for several plastic components. Developed, drafted, and tested Manufacturing Instructions for product assembly.
UCI Micro Integrated Devices and Systems Laboratory (2011 - 2013)
Notable Projects: RehabMat: Aided in the development and assembly of large-area, flat, computer-input-devices made with flexible conductive fabrics. Purpose: aid in the rehabilitation of stroke patients. Used in clinical trials at the UCI medical school. Lab Display Unit: Developed a prototype (HTML5) application and accompanying server to display UCI Smart Labs sensor data on a tablet. Used JQuery and PHP for the client-server communication.
Fady is a technical power house who holds us all to a higher engineering bar. As many have said his ability to look around corners and anticipate technical challenges long before they're encountered is a tremendous asset on all the programs he's contributed on. Fady goes further and takes personal ownership of those challenges rather than deferring them to others.
As an anvil certifier, Fady is great at raising security concerns and effectively communicating potential risks present in a system. He is supportive of the development teams, providing resources and direction. Fady helped us successful certify a very large Anvils that consisted of 15+ services before our Open For Business cutoff.
Fady is a deep thinker that thoroughly thinks through every problem he is presented. He can see external elements or problems before they arise, and will always speak up when he sees them. You can almost hear the gears cranking in head when he is considering a problem and he always has great insight to provide.
Fady's superpower is the ability to deep dive and fix the root cause of issues, even for systems which he does not own. Besides numerous examples of this for runtime issues, Fady also demonstrates this capability in security reviews where he has identified real security issues.
Fady is a jack of all trades and somehow kind of a master of them all too? He's becoming a technical power house who can develop advanced systems at both the infrastructural and software level, can explain them effectively, defend his decisions, consider the big picture, organize his tasks, drive discussions, and influence those around him.
Fady working as a security certifier dove deep into the Sidewalk Cloud service and helped verify and close the security threats as mitigated. He took the time to learn and understand each service and identified several misses that even the security resources missed in their end to end assessment. He partnered with the security org to ensure the recertification captured data needed to close out the Anvil certification.
Fady is a highly knowledgeable engineer and great at problem-solving, troubleshooting, identifying security risks, and thinking big! He has definitely demonstrated ownership while working on Janus, the Anvil certification, Architecture, and ORR documents thereof. He rose to the challenge and delivered high-quality results. He has earned everyone's trust with his deep knowledge and backbone.
Fady is a smart engineer. He's very knowledgeable on the products that he built, and he is also amazing at considering every option presented to him. Hes extremely helpful and his explanations and presentation skills for problems are elegant. Overall, he is a great engineer and leader.
Fady was extremely helpful when guiding me through the Anvil process. He has a strong ability to understand new architectures and provide insightful feedback for those he works with. He always keeps the best interest of Amazon and the customer in mind when doing so as well.
