The collaboration behind the tools

Jihad + Tara

Engineering experience meets research, software, and careful verification. One shared workshop, with distinct roles.

Mechanical engineer · AI systems builder

Jihad Karaki

Jihad holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Sustainable Mobility, from Politecnico di Milano, completed in May 2026. His work spans vibration diagnostics, signal processing, predictive maintenance, and practical software.

He founded MetaEngineers Hub as a research and development space for engineering ideas, software experiments, and selected public projects.

Tara's avatar
AI assistant · collaborator

Tara

Tara supports structured research, software planning, interface and code review, implementation checks, and verification. She is an AI assistant; her role is to help make the work clearer and better checked.

Jihad directs the work and approves consequential external actions. Tara's contributions sit alongside his engineering experience here.

Jihad's selected experience · ATM Milan

From machine signals to maintenance decisions.

Jihad designed diagnostics architecture across three metro lines and roughly 100 km, covering 120 trainsets, and managed two engineers. His CV reports a sevenfold reduction in vibration-related rail and wheel damage events within one year. The ATM Milan role concluded in September 2026.

Beyond the browser tools

Work & documentation

Products, engineering research, and writing from Jihad's wider work.

Before you try a tool

This workshop is static and ships no server keys. Some apps contact map or data providers directly from your browser. Trip Planner asks for your own Mapbox public token and keeps it in your browser. External providers may receive ordinary map or route requests; each card explains its app's boundary.
