Welcome to 3rDimension Engineering. I have a bachelor’s degree of science in mechanical engineering from USC and I reside in Los Angeles. I happen to be a relentless problem solver with experience working with Solidworks to produce 3D models and technical documentation for components and assemblies. I recently developed prototype robot grippers for various robotics and factory automation systems with Numatic Engineering. These projects required careful measurement and analysis which led to 3D modeling that was often used to produce drawings for manufacturing or support. In many cases I used 3D printing to create fast, economical, functional prototype components for use in live automation demonstrations. Due to my interest and success in producing 3D modeling and mechanical documentation using Solidworks, I have decided to freelance my skills to further increase my experience and capabilities. I offer the following services using Solidworks: -3D modeling of components and assemblies -Mechanical Drafting of components and assemblies using rectangular tolerance (GD&T offered for certain projects) -FEA Reporting available for components (displacements, 1st principle stresses, VM stresses) -Frequency Analysis Reports available for components

- TURNKEY, ONE-STOP-SHOP for new building construction and renovation Electrical Drawings and Specifications design that you can trust to be done accurately and thoughtfully the first time - DESIGNED OVER 1,500 ELECTRICAL DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS PACKAGES from start-to-finish for projects located across 17 different states - OVER 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE in electrical system design for new building constructions, renovations and modifications, including 9 years total of remote/satellite work - WORKED FOR THREE PROFESSIONAL ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING FIRMS located in California, Florida, and Georgia under direct supervision by and in collaboration with experienced Professional Engineers We all know that searching on these freelance sites means you have to sort through so many profiles, and that just a few simple questions are almost always at top of mind: 1) Does this person behind the profile have the actual expertise and experience needed to meet the high standards I have for this project? 2) Does this person communicate clearly and effectively, and is he/she accessible, available, and responsive to me? 3) Will it truly be worth it to farm out projects to a freelancer, or will the investment of my time and money be better served by just hiring someone in-house or maybe doing it myself, instead? Let me show you that I can deliver on all three of the above questions for your project and prove to you that you've made the right decision by hiring me to work remotely on your new building construction or renovation design documents. I'll design the Electrical Drawings and Specifications for each project from inception to completion or based on our specific, mutually agreed upon scope of work... Only a Professional Engineer's review, then seal, signature and date is required upon completion of the project. I'll, of course, communicate closely with you to ensure the design package is produced precisely and delivered in a timely manner, so that the entire design process meets the Engineer's, Architect's, and Client's highest expectations and so that each project's deadlines are met. I'll confirm that the design is in compliance with all applicable state and local codes and Authorities Having Jurisdiction. I'll join design team conference meetings and coordinate with other trades, manufacturer representatives and project decision makers, so clear communication happens. I'll meet project milestone deliverables and send progress set submittals, for reliable and accurate project execution. You can free up your time and offload the vast majority of the electrical design project to me, knowing that each project will be custom, individually tailored, and given the expertise, thought, and attention to detail that it deserves. I take a lot of pride in my work, and my constant goal is for that to be evident in the Plans I produce. **I can use my own extensive library of industry-recognizable Electrical and Low Voltage System CAD symbols, details, riser and one-line diagrams, schedules, general notes, etc. with corresponding drafting standards and Plan and/or Booklet Specifications... or I can quickly learn to adopt and use your firm's templates.
