I am a jewelry designer and CAD specialist working professionally since 2012 through my own independent studio in Rome, Italy, where I handle both design and production of custom jewelry pieces. My foundation in traditional goldsmithing and stone setting comes from direct hands-on training within my family. My father and uncle are both experienced goldsmiths and stone setters with decades of work in Rome, and I was trained early in workshop environments where precision, craftsmanship, and production standards were essential. Alongside traditional skills, I trained as a wax model maker (lost-wax casting technique), developing strong abilities in creating detailed wax models specifically prepared for casting and fine jewelry production. In addition to my independent work, I spent one year working in one of the most established and high-volume casting workshops in Rome. There I gained practical experience in industrial casting workflows, metal behavior, quality control, and production optimization under real commercial conditions. This experience strengthened my ability to design not only for aesthetics, but also for feasibility, durability, and efficient manufacturing. My core expertise includes: Jewelry design and development 3D CAD modeling (Rhino 3D) Wax modeling for lost-wax casting Stone setting understanding and technical integration Production-ready design for manufacturing Custom jewelry development from concept to final product I work with a production-oriented mindset. Every design I create is meant to be technically feasible, cost-aware, and ready for real-world manufacturing without unnecessary revisions. I also manage my own studio and client projects independently, which has given me strong communication skills, reliability in deadlines, and full responsibility over the design-to-production pipeline.

Mechanical design engineer with over ten years of R&D experience gained in demanding industrial environments: automotive (Maserati and Alfa Romeo), Oil & Gas, Railway and Pro Audio. I handle mechanical design end to end, from concept to detailed manufacturing drawings, taking care of every stage: requirements analysis, parametric 3D modeling, drafting and validation. I have advanced command of the industry's leading CAD platforms. Siemens NX is my primary tool, where I work on complex parametric assemblies, surface and solid modeling, and full drawing production, with data and BOM management in Teamcenter. I am equally proficient in SolidWorks for parametric part and assembly design, sheet metal, weldments and detailed 2D documentation, and I also work confidently in Inventor, Fusion 360 and Creo. On the simulation side, I perform both analytical hand calculations and FEM analysis in ANSYS to verify strength, stiffness, fatigue life and overall structural performance. I run static, modal and non-linear studies to validate designs before production, complemented by acoustic simulation (COMSOL) and thermal/fluid-dynamic analysis where needed. I own a 3D printer and produce functional prototypes in-house, quickly turning concepts into physical parts to test fit, form and function before committing to tooling or CNC machining. I also develop dedicated software and scripts to automate recurring calculations and parametric sizing, and I manage product certification (CE, UL/ETL, CB Scheme). I have deep knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes — plastics and metals, injection molding, casting, CNC machining and rapid prototyping — designing with constant attention to manufacturability and cost (design to cost). As a freelancer I am an autonomous, reliable technical partner, available for both one-off projects and ongoing collaborations, with one clear goal: to deliver optimized, validated, production-ready solutions.
