Engineering tools
built for the field
A personal hub for engineering apps, self-hosted AI, and technical resources — built by an engineer who actually uses them.
Piping Calc
Pressure drop and wall thickness calculations for process piping per ASME B31.3.
RCFA Assistant
AI-powered root cause failure analysis tool for equipment failures.
Equipment Strategy
Build and manage equipment maintenance strategies with risk-based work selection.
DeepSeek R1
Running via Ollama on a private VPS. No data leaves the server.
FastAPI on Hetzner
All engineering computation and AI inference served from a dedicated private server.
Next.js on Vercel
Edge-deployed UI with global CDN. Fast everywhere, zero cold starts on the frontend.
Ahmed AlBuessa — Mechanical & Reliability Engineer
8+ years across multinational operators — Suncor, Shell, ExxonMobil, and BP — in oil sands, oilfields, and refinery environments. Specializing in equipment reliability, pressure equipment fitness-for-service, and piping integrity on SAGD assets in the Alberta oil sands.
Currently applying that field experience to building engineering tools — combining deep domain knowledge with Python, AI, and modern web tech to solve real problems faster.

Engineering knowledge + AI tools
Most engineering software is built by software engineers who don't understand the field. I'm going the other way — a field engineer learning to build the tools that are actually missing.
Current focus: RCFA support tools, piping calculations, equipment strategy assistants — all backed by a private self-hosted AI model that understands engineering context.
