Kanj Workshop is an educational platform for 3D printing, electronics, hardware programming, and more..

In addition to my passion for programming, I Love building stuff, and mixing different disciplines together in order to produce interesting, elegant, customizable and functional products, I like to mix 3D prints, with electronic circuits and computer programming to build a product that is both appealing and useful.

The final product doesn’t necessarily have to include all these features, it can be a relatively simple product, or a more advanced one, such as the open source portable medical ventilator that I was working on in addition to other volunteers from Lebanon Response Team initiative (An initiative to help support the Lebanese health care system during the COVID-19 crisis).

And to provide some background how I started Kanj Workshop, here’s the story:

I have a bachelor degree in computer science, and I spent so many years (and still) programming, I started my own business, helped many clients build their websites, and their online presence, I built many side projects, and co-founded a startup, and later, I started experimenting with building and programming electronic devices (which was something I was so curious about since university, but unfortunately back then, I didn’t have the chance to follow this topic more or to buy all the needed tools to experiment with).

So I decided to start allocating money to build my own Lab/Workshop, and gradually, I started buying tools (Drills, screwdrivers, bolts, nuts, Development boards, soldering irons,…) and with time, my tools started to grow and my skills improved (and of course I am still learning and improving), and I was so passionate about mixing my programming skills and integrating custom programming code in the physical products I build, it was cool building websites and apps, but it is also amazing and really exciting (for me at least), to build a robot, a functional device, a RC car that include a cool design, and that can be controlled by a code that I implement in these devices.

After building different personal projects, I decided that I really need a 3D printer, and a CNC machine. Both are useful to provide a more “professional” look to my products, and after saving some money, I bought my 1st 3D printer, and later, a small CNC machine and after that I bought a 2nd 3D printer.

Currently I have a YouTube channel for Kanj Workshop, where I share some of my hardware projects and I also publish video tutorials there.
