Bio

Hi, my name is Adam El-Awad! I'm a Civil Engineering student at the University of Waterloo with a passion for both technical problem-solving and creative design. I chose civil engineering because I love math and science, but I’ve always been drawn to architecture, interior design, and space planning—where I can blend structure with aesthetics.

I have experience in CAD design, project management, and floor planning, and I enjoy creating functional, visually compelling spaces that balance efficiency and style. Whether it’s optimizing layouts, selecting materials, or exploring sustainable design solutions, I love bringing ideas to life in a way that’s both practical and innovative.

I’m always looking for opportunities to apply my skills in engineering, design, and problem-solving to exciting projects. Let’s build something amazing!

We had less Riipen candidates this year than last, but I can tell you they were as stellar as last year’s group. Zero Main Inc. has benefited from the help of these aspiring professionals with a quickly evolving “green technology” business model. Adam came to our headquarters at 0 main, and looked at what had to be done and gave us good advice with the implementation of a modern weather station, among many other things. I highly recommend Adam as a great employee.
