I am an efficient and innovative design engineer with ~4 years experience in product design and manufacturing. I am proficient in solid 3D modeling as well as complex 3D surfacing. I have experience with machined part design, injection-molded part design, flat patterning (sewn goods), stamped part design, thermoforming, and metal fabrication. The bulk of my work experience has taken place in a small business setting that has not only provided the opportunity to fully hash out designs from the sketchpad to prototypes to full production, but has also given me the creative freedom to try new or innovative production methods not afforded to a standard engineer. My strengths lie in my versatility, my ability to quickly find creative, cost-effective solutions to product design problems and my strong CAD background.

Seven years ago I started out learning to draft by hand, spending hours ensuring my paper was aligned with my T-square, drawing construction lines, and lettering to my hearts content. While continuing with that practice I moved on to 2d drafting in AutoCAD, and after becoming proficient moved into both architectural drafting and mechanical modeling. After beginning my early college years I was able to earn a certification in SolidWorks and began fulfilling clients needs in 3d modeling. I have accrued experience in 2d CNC work, injection molding, large scale manufacturing, small scale assembly, and am expanding into CAM. Through M. L. McKinney LLC I am able to offer quality modeling and drafting services using industry standard software with 1 on 1 consultation. Together we can tweak your design until it is exactly what you want!

Hi there! My name is Kevin Moreno and I am currently a graduate student at Virginia Tech researching mechanical vibrations. Although vibrations research is my passion, I have spent countless hours modeling and designing mechanical systems on Solidworks and ANSYS for my own research, class projects, and processing 3D printing requests during my time working at Terrapin Works. One of my biggest accomplishments with 3D modeling and mechanical design was being the team lead for my senior design project. My team designed a lifting mechanism designed to help physically limited people put heavy items onto their shopping carts at the store. My team ultimately won 2nd place for best overall design out of over 30 design teams. 3D modeling and mechanical design is my bread and butter. When given a mechanical design request, I always start off thinking about the best way to design it and visualize it with the aid of CAD software. I am always eager to see what I can make with CAD!
