Hi, I’m João, a Mechanical Engineering student in Portugal. I specialize in full-cycle prototype development, taking projects from initial creative concepts all the way through engineering, testing, and final CAD design. --Education & Projects-- Alongside my engineering degree, my practical background is rooted in automotive development. I have hands-on experience developing mechanical components from scratch for the Formula E-Vee prototype, as well as actively contributing to automotive projects with my university's Formula Student team. --Strengths & Skills-- I approach product development with a blend of creative problem-solving and strict engineering principles. My process covers everything from brainstorming and structural testing to generating reliable geometry that translates seamlessly into physical production. - End-to-End Prototyping: Concept generation, creative problem-solving, and functional prototype development. - SolidWorks Expertise: Complex mechanical assemblies, precise part design, and native/export file generation (STEP, STL, DXF). - Engineering & Simulation: Finite Element Analysis (FEA) structural testing and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) optimization. - Production-Ready Drawings: 2D manufacturing drawings with accurate tolerances for CNC machining, 3D printing, and sheet metal fabrication. - Reverse Engineering: Adapting reference geometry, sketches, or photos into functional mechanical solutions. If you need an engineering partner who can creatively develop your idea from scratch and deliver reliable, fabrication-ready results, let's discuss your project!
