Summary
Salim Benbouziyane is a self-taught designer, technologist, and maker based in Montreal with four years focused on open-source hardware and creative content production. He designs, prototypes, and documents projects that blend CAD, PCB design, embedded systems (ESP32/Arduino/Raspberry Pi), and 3D printing, turning complex builds into accessible step-by-step guides and videos that have amassed over 3M views. With a decade-plus background in print production and as a former production manager, he brings rigorous production workflows and automation experience that cut turnaround times and reduced errors. Salim pairs hands-on fabrication and finishing skills with firmware and IoT integration, and actively shares detailed resources to help the maker community replicate and extend his work. Notably, he runs an end-to-end creator practice—managing design, electronics, fabrication, firmware, and video production—so his projects are as polished in presentation as they are in engineering.
