Mustapha Haddad Mechatronics Engineer

I design and develop technical solutions across automation, product development, embedded systems and human-centered engineering.

About

Engineering with a human-centered mindset

I am a mechatronics engineer based in Horten, Norway, with practical experience in product development, industrial radio-control solutions, technical documentation and client follow-up.

My background combines engineering, teaching and physiotherapy, giving me a strong interest in robotics, healthcare technology and solutions that connect people with machines.
