Myself doing preflight test to double check plane centre of gravity
About Me
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.

Learn how to calibrate a hotwire cutter for precise foam cutting with this hands-on DIY guide. Step-by-step instructions, tips, and real examples to get perfect results every time.
Remote control (RC) systems form the communication bridge between an RC pilot and their aircraft. Whether you're flying a beginner trainer or a custom FPV aircraft, the transmitter and receiver work together to deliver precise control. In this guide, we’ll cover how RC systems function, break down essential features like channels and signals, and focus on FlySky—a brand known for reliability, affordability, and beginner-friendliness
Learn how airplane control surfaces like ailerons, elevators, and rudders work to steer aircraft. This detailed guide covers their functions, limits, and how RC models use servos, linkages, and transmitter settings for precise control.
The tail section of an airplane plays a critical role in the stability, control, and performance of the aircraft. Whether you're building a foam RC model or designing a full-scale airplane, understanding tail configurations helps you make informed decisions about flight characteristics like yaw control, pitch stability, and aerodynamic efficiency
Dihedral wing design is a foundational element in aircraft stability engineering. By angling the wings upward, designers introduce a natural restoring force that improves roll stability and helps maintain level flight. This makes dihedral ideal for aircraft where ease of control and passive stability are important, such as gliders, UAVs, and training platforms
