Myself doing preflight test to double check plane centre of gravity
About Me - Abdullah Shboul
I’m a computer and electronics engineer who believes the best way to understand engineering is to build it. While I work full-time as a software developer and architect, I spend much of my free time designing electronics projects and experimenting with RC aircraft. Through Labdarna, I share real experiments and practical insights that turn complex ideas into something you can actually build and test. See also my message when started this website.
Education
I hold a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Computer and Electrical Engineering from Jordan University of Science and Technology (2001). This foundation in both electronics and software continues to shape my work, combining theoretical knowledge with practical, real-world experimentation.
Professional experience
Working as a senior software developer and architect with over 25+ years of experience building scalable software systems across cloud, web, and mobile platforms. Specializing in AWS, micro-services, and full-stack development, I have led teams and delivered high-performance solutions across diverse industries. Passionate about continuous learning and hands-on engineering, I also explore electronics and RC aircraft projects, sharing practical insights through Labdarna.
