Mechanical Engineer with 5+ years of experience specializing in product development, mechanical design, and manufacturing-ready CAD solutions. I help companies, startups, and inventors transform early concepts into fully engineered products that can be prototyped, manufactured, and scaled. My expertise combines strong theoretical engineering knowledge with practical manufacturing experience, allowing me to design parts and systems that are not only functional but also optimized for real-world production. Technically, I specialize in SolidWorks-based product development, including full assembly modeling, parametric part design, and detailed manufacturing drawings using Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). My workflow focuses heavily on Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles to ensure that parts are cost-effective to produce and easy to assemble. I also perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for structural validation and use simulation tools to evaluate stress, load paths, and potential failure modes early in the design process. My experience spans multiple manufacturing processes including sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, welding, composite manufacturing, and assembly line production. Because of this, I approach every project with a strong understanding of real manufacturing constraints, supplier capabilities, and production economics. In addition to mechanical design, I also develop automation systems and engineering workflows that improve operational efficiency for businesses. This includes creating custom automation solutions that integrate engineering processes with digital tools to reduce manual work and streamline product development cycles.

I am a creative and self-motivated mechanical engineer who is passionate about design and particularly interested in design for manufacturing. In addition to a strong mechanical design foundation, I possess strong problem-solving and communication skills. I graduated from UPenn with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics in May 2020. While there, I gained tons of CAD, CAM, DFM, & DFA experience (engineers love acronyms, don't they). I have tons of manufacturing experience in addition to my design experience which means that I will save you time and money by creating a manufacturable design in the first place. Outside of freelancing, I am currently working on a startup venture addressing period cramps using a wearable device.
