With over three decades of progressive experience in mechanical engineering, I bring a rich blend of expertise in managing design-build projects, spearheading innovations in laboratory equipment design, and showcasing proficiency in various software platforms, including SolidWorks and SpaceClaim. My career began on the assembly halls of FAT s.a. in Wroclaw, Poland, where I immersed myself in the nuances of CNC and universal lathe assembly, setting the foundation for a rewarding career path. I further honed my skills with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Azad University and an honours diploma in Mechanical Technology from the British Columbia Institute of Technology. Over the years, I have held significant positions such as a Chief Mechanical Engineer and a CNC Programmer, gaining hands-on experience in various responsibilities ranging from supervising fabrication processes to performing intricate engineering calculations. My journey in this domain has equipped me with the skills to excel in Finite Element Analysis, design optimization, and reverse engineering while fostering a knack for rapid learning and adaptability. I take pride in my honest, hard-working approach to all projects and am always eager to expand my knowledge and take on new challenges. As a seasoned professional with a wealth of experience in various facets of mechanical engineering and manufacturing, I am well-versed in the nuances of design, analysis, and optimization, making me a valuable asset in both supervisory and hands-on roles. I look forward to leveraging my accumulated skills and knowledge as a freelance mechanical engineer, offering innovative solutions and contributing to the success of forward-thinking companies.
