About · Aladdin Alakrami
I'm Aladdin. I work where mechanics, electronics, control and software meet.
I have a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from KTH, and I am now doing a master's in mechatronics there. What defines my work is the combination: how a mechanical choice changes the control problem, how the electronics decide what the software can know, and how a good interface makes a complex system easier to use.
The way I work is to find the real problem first, especially when a project starts out unclear, and then sketch, build, test and rethink until it holds. The projects here show that, with the decisions, the results and the unfinished parts side by side. Much of my software I now build with AI coding assistants; I treat them as capable tools that still need my judgement and my testing.
Next, I want to work on robots and AI that take over work that is repetitive but essential, in energy or food production for example, so that people have more time for the things that matter to them.

A knife sharpener I took from sketches through CAD, printing, machining, electronics and firmware to a prototype that sharpened under supervision.

Software I build now, much of it with AI as a working partner: a price-history extension and this site, with what works and what is still open.
See the software - Future
Robots and AI doing the repetitive, essential work, so that people have more time for family and creative work. It is where I want my engineering to lead.
