This month, we sat down with him to learn more about his journey, his work, and what inspires him.
What drew you to engineering in the first place?
“I’ve always enjoyed tinkering with and building things, and I was naturally curious about how things worked from a young age. My father was a civil engineer, and seeing his passion for engineering and the impact of his work inspired me to pursue the field myself.”
What do you enjoy most about working at Sherex?
“What I enjoy most about working here is the atmosphere that we create by working together, helping each other solve problems, and coming up with solutions for our customers. The opportunities we get intrigue me to be better at what I do.”
What project are you most proud of working on at Sherex?
“The project that I’m mostly proud of is the design and development of the new line of Disc-Lock® nuts and bolts. The project currently is in its final stages, and the technical implementation for it has been challenging and rewarding at the same time. It’s helping me become a better engineer and have a more solid background for the next new product development project.”
What do you do outside of work to recharge or stay creative?
“Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, cooking, and playing video games. I try to be more physically active, so sometimes I go for a walk by the river for at least an hour.”
Milad is a graduate of SUNY Buffalo State with a degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology and is a Certified Fastener Specialist from the Fastener Training Institute.
