I am an Australian/Italian/Macedonian mechanical designer with 13+ years of experience in metalwork, staircase design, precision mechanical drafting, and advanced SolidWorks modelling. I specialise in parametric CAD design, 3D scanning (point cloud to CAD), and fabrication-ready shop drawings for the construction and manufacturing industries. I am fluent in both English and Italian and am a Certified SolidWorks Expert (CSWE).
Industry Experience
• 8+ years in construction metalwork in Australia (stairs, balustrades, custom steelwork, steel structures, framework)
• 5+ years in machinery design in Italy, designing high-precision mechanical systems for capping bottles and containers and food packaging machines, including supporting frames
• 3D scanning implementation & scanning-based workflow optimisation, mesh modelling, point cloud processing, STL/OBJ to solid/surface
• Collaboration with architects, engineers, workshops, and installers
• Experience with Australian Standards, the Building Code of Australia, The European Machine Directive, building code & fabrication practices
• Design for rapid prototyping/3D printing
What I Deliver
• Fully detailed CAD models
• Parametric CAD design and drawing automation
• Shop drawings ready for fabrication
• DWG/DXF files for laser cutting
• Assembly drawings & exploded diagrams
• Bills of materials (BOMs)
• Point-cloud processing and working from 3D scans
• Working from sketches and site checks
• Photo-realistic rendering
• High-quality, rapid communication
Top Skills
• Certified SolidWorks Expert, with 13+ years of experience
• Parametric modelling & design automation
• Metal fabrication & workshop detailing. Shop drawings
• Stair & balustrade design (straight, spiral stairs and complex geometry)
• 3D scanning → point cloud processing → CAD (mesh geometry, solids, surfaces)
• Shop drawings & manufacturing documentation
• Mechanical system design
• FEA (structural checks and optimisation)
• Problem-solving & engineering integration
Over my career, I have designed:
• Structural & architectural metalwork
• Architectural & commercial staircases (spiral, helical, steel, timber–steel hybrids, external stairs)
• Balustrades & handrails (glass, stainless, mild steel, brass)
• Entire capping machines and packaging machines for the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries
• Reverse-engineered from 3D-scanned sites and parts using Artec Ray II, Artec Studio 19
• Custom signage and billboards for councils, national parks, and public infrastructure featuring logos, graphics, and LEDs.
