Hi, my name is Fares Frikha.

Welcome to my portfolio.

Civil Engineer
Python Developer
26 years old, Tunisian
Paris, France

Profile

Civil Engineer | Double Graduate from Polytech Clermont and the National School of Engineers of Tunis-ENIT.

During my dual curriculum between Tunisia and France, I chose a broad and multidisciplinary path, convinced that an engineer must be able to comprehend a project in its entirety and from various angles. My professional journey has provided me with the opportunity to deepen my skills in the design and sizing of structures, as well as in finite element analysis..

Passionate about new technologies, I apply my programming skills to create tools for modeling and calculating structures.

My proficiency in BIM gives me an excellent understanding of data modeling tools and construction information, as well as the ability to manipulate BIM software.

Currently, I am a nuclear civil engineer at Egis, where I continue to apply my skills to contribute to the success of exciting projects.
