He then held various positions, including Lab Supervisor at Shamal Start/Fablab Irbid and Technical Team Leader at TechWorks/CPF. He is also a co-founder of the Fab Arab Network, which connects and supports fabrication labs in the region.
In 2022, Qusai established menalab, a Jordanian startup that offers training, access to machinery, and design services for digital fabrication. At menalab, he and his team are dedicated to empowering people to become producers rather than consumers through ideation, design thinking, prototyping, and digital fabrication.
Qusai's areas of expertise include 3D printing, woodwork, parametric 2D and 3D design, electronics design, production and programming, CNC milling, molding and casting, and rapid prototyping. He is also a member of the panel for the workshop "Moving Towards the Future in the Creative Industries," organized by the Royal Hashemite Court.
