Showcase Project

During the past 10 years, as a hardware & software developer at SadraFan company, I have designed, managed, and, coded several projects. Among them, there are two major projects that take me a lot of time and energy; CNC milling machine & medical insole designer.

However, if I want to select a project of which I am most proud, I would choose the CNC Milling Machine project. The CNC project is one of my first projects that is still alive. I have grown it up like my child, and I have learned a lot during its development. Fortunately, it has been able to achieve its goals in the market and satisfying the customers, which includes industry and universities. As I see the results of this project, I get really excited.
