I turn 2D artwork and concepts into production-ready 3D CAD and CNC programs. My background is hands-on: I spent years as a CNC programmer and lead operator running an industrial flatbed router, where I designed the parts, wrote the CAM, and machined them myself. That means my models are built to actually cut and assemble, not just to look good in a render. I work primarily in Fusion 360, with AutoCAD for 2D. Core strengths: - 2D artwork (SVG, AI, EPS, DXF) to manufacturable 3D CAD - Parametric product, furniture, and casework design - 2.5D and full 3D relief, inlay, and engraving geometry - Reverse engineering from images and reference parts - Complete CAM: adaptive roughing, 3D finishing, drilling, contours - Production-ready files in STEP, STL, and OBJ I have authored CNC post-processors from scratch and built AI-assisted CAD/CAM workflows, so I am comfortable taking a project from raw artwork all the way to a file that runs clean on the machine. If you want a designer who understands both sides, the design and the manufacturing, that is exactly what I do.

I am a mechanical engineer and have worked in some sort of design or manufacturing setting for almost 10 years. I specialize in helping companies do three things: 1. Making your product more cost-efficient to produce 2. Refining your product so that it is easy for the customer to use 3. Accelerating your development process. I know speed is key when getting any new project started so I get you what you need ASAP. Some of my accomplishments so far -Helped a company that raised 500k in crowdfunding to develop the product they are now selling, reducing their manufacturing cost by over 20% -Helped a company raise their first round of funding by designing and prototyping their first product -Worked with product development firms with large customers to work out kinks in their designs and fabricate their prototypes -Worked with another crowdfunding campaign to make develop their beta-testing product. -Designed tooling for robotic arms to automate manufacturing processes resulting in massive reduction in labor cost I am proficient in the following disciplines -SolidWorks 2018 -Inventor 2018 -FEA (Finite Element Analysis - finding the weak points in a structural design) -Rapid prototyping (3D Printing, CNC Machining, etc.) -Design for manufacturing I work with a small 3D Printing company here in Chicago that can produce very high quality 3D prints with an excellent turnaround time. I also have a complete workshop with saws/mills/drills/CNC where I can build pieces or prototypes for virtually any project. I love working with startups to get their product moving. I like the fast pace environment and love seeing something we work on go to market.

Mechanical engineer with extensive expertise in CAD/CAM-driven product and equipment design, translating complex functional requirements into robust, manufacturable solutions. I specialize in 3D parametric modeling, large assembly development, tolerance stack-up analysis, and design for manufacturability (DFM/DFA), ensuring designs move efficiently from concept through fabrication and production. I have led the development of detailed 3D models, 2D production drawings, and fully controlled bills of materials within PDM/PLM environments, maintaining strict revision control and engineering documentation standards. My work bridges engineering intent and shop-floor execution — optimizing toolpaths, machining strategies, and fabrication workflows to reduce cycle time, improve yield, and eliminate rework. With a strong understanding of materials, GD&T (ASME Y14.5), machining processes, weldments, and mechanical system integration, I design with production in mind from day one. I collaborate closely with manufacturing teams, machinists, fabricators, and external vendors to validate prototypes, refine tolerances, and ensure cost-effective scalability.
