Jihad Alsamarji is a Senior Engineer based in Brussels with 7 years of cross-disciplinary experience bridging mechatronics, hardware development and industrial automation. He progressed from fleet maintenance and mechanical engineering roles in the field to Master’s-level mechatronics work and hardware R&D for payment terminals, then moved into automation project management building PLC/HMI/SCADA test benches and a bespoke cloud-connected SCADA/web stack. Jihad combines hands-on PCB and mechanical CAD expertise with full‑stack IoT development (Node.js, SQL, REST integrations) to centralize PLC data, improve qualification workflows and feed automated ticketing. Currently focused on Industry 4.0 implementations using AVEVA PI for pharma, he brings practical GMP/ALCOA compliance experience alongside commissioning and system monitoring. Colleagues describe him as curious and resourceful: a tinkerer who turned childhood fascination with how things work into robust, production-ready control systems.
