Turning ideas into precision-built products.
I merge engineering accuracy with industrial aesthetics. Focused on product development,
prototyping, and manufacturing – from concept sketches to production-ready systems.
About me
I’m Dani Abou Zamel, a Mechanical Design Engineer specializing in product development, prototyping, and manufacturing. I design and build innovative mechanical systems – from first sketch to production, blending precision engineering with refined aesthetics.
Fueled by coffee, curiosity, and the occasional broken prototype, I approach every project as both an engineer and a maker, constantly learning through iteration.
At Camerabotics, I lead the design of advanced robotic systems and mechanical devices, focusing on performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
Outside of work, I founded DzinePlus, a studio where I develop experimental prototypes and collaborate on select design projects. It’s how I stay hands-on with innovation, explore new technologies, and continually refine my approach to design and engineering.
