I am a design engineer with over 8 years experience in manufacturing/engineering commercial furniture. Proficient at modeling restaurant, hospitality and other commercial seating. My project preference is not limited to this field. I have over 7 years of 3D modeling experience using Inventor, Solidworks, and OnShape. I implemented YouTrack (issue tracking software) for managing tasks and workflows of over 50 employees for my previous employer. Manufacturing engineer, product engineer and process engineer have been my previous job titles. I developed engineering processes to streamline workflows for creating manufacturing data. I've programmed CNCs using Surfcam and SigmaNEST. I have 8 years experience programming CNC routers including multi head machines. I've developed macros for SolidWorks and Excel using VBA. I've done a multitude of other things through my 8 year career and I've always had excellent reviews for my performance. I also have a construction and carpentry background. My degree is in wood product manufacturing technology from Purdue University. I am resourceful, flexible, highly skilled and ready to assist you with your project.

Mechanical design engineer with 3+ years of experience across a hard-tech startup and a product design consultancy. MS in Design Engineering (Brown/RISD), BS in Mechanical Engineering (Tufts). I specialize in early-stage physical product development — taking concepts from rough sketches or ID intent through to engineered, manufacturable geometry. I'm comfortable working across the full development arc: ideation support, proof-of-concept, detailed part and assembly design, DFM, and manufacturing handoff. I put particular care into building CAD models that are clean, well-structured, and easy for others to edit and build on. Particularly drawn to consumer products, softgoods and soft/hard goods integration, and electromechanical systems. I communicate clearly, stay organized, and work well with designers, founders, and cross-functional teams. I'm used to moving fast in resource-constrained environments and figuring things out as I go. CAD: SolidWorks (primary), Onshape, Fusion 360, Creo, AutoCAD (2D & 3D), PDM/PLM What I do well: Parametric and surfaced modeling, translating ID concepts into production-ready geometry, integrating engineering architecture into designed forms, electromechanical prototyping Manufacturing: DFM across injection molding, sheet metal, CNC, and softgoods; rapid prototyping (FDM, SLA, laser cutting, OTS integration); softgoods construction and soft/hard goods integration; experience with CMs and overseas manufacturers
