Hi, I'm Andrew. If you can think it, I can make it! I’ve been actively feeding my hunger for mechanical innovation for the last 5+ years and am very excited to branch into the world of freelancing. I’ve leveraged many products all the way from concept to production and implementation. Whether you’re starting fresh with a developing idea, need to modify current designs, or generate some clean cut GD&T drawings, I’m your guy! When we work together, fulfilling your needs is the only priority that matters. I will communicate with you as much as we decide necessary, and I will never be afraid to reach out to you if I believe extra input is needed from you. A common trope among engineering type minds is shy away from conversation and complete the project strictly the way we believe it should be done. I firmly dissociate myself from this trope, any work I do is worthless if it does not suit your needs. The customer is always number 1! All of my engineering design work has occurred in small companies and my own personal ventures. I have completed contract work for 2 different companies (1 of which I still work for). For both of these companies, I designed machinery, generated drawings, created BOM’s, communicated with suppliers, communicated with manufacturers, and oversaw complete production of the machines I personally designed, or designed with a team. I’ve personally written and filed 4 Non-Provisional Patents & 3 Provisional Patents with the USPTO. Two of these pending patents I am currently working to build profitable businesses around. I have a fundamental understanding of the factors that go into turning a product into a business including marketing, competition, scalability, cost reduction, manufacturability, visual appearance/packaging, etc. Good product design is essential, but it is key to consider how that design affects all other aspects of the business in order to implement the best plan possible. As an added benefit to my engineering and creative skills, I am skilled in conveying complex thoughts into clear writing if you should have any need for documentation / reports / proposals for any of your business needs. Let’s talk and see if we can make a good fit together!

Innovative Mechanical Engineer with a track record of transforming concepts into market-ready products. Specializing in research, design optimization, and CAD/3D Modeling proficiency, I thrive in bringing creative solutions to complex engineering challenges. My past projects have included: 1) Medical Filter for a Medical Startup Company (Sonablate) Spearheaded a project to overhaul medical filter design using CAD/3D modeling, aligning it with regulatory requirements while slashing production costs. Resulted in enhanced product quality and substantial monthly cost savings up to $100,000. 2) Pneumatic Display for an International Company (SMC) Lead the mechanical design/engineering for a pneumatic display using, meeting marketing and sales requirements while also meeting specifications. Resulted in a robust display that showcased a mock manufacturing case study at large trade shows. 3) Surgical Pen for Rutgers University Lead a project where I assisted a medical doctor working with Rutgers University to create an innovative solution to a surgical pen using 3D modeling/CAD. Took the idea from a napkin sketch concept and assisted with bringing other ideas to the project. Resulted in a prototype for the doctor to showcase to potential investors and a patent for the pen. With a proven history in mechanical design, project management, and creative problem-solving, I excel in delivering end-to-end solutions. My expertise spans medical device development, design for manufacturing, and the ability to assist with verification and validation. Clients can expect meticulous attention to detail, innovative problem-solving, and a commitment to excellence in every project undertaken. Setting myself apart in the competitive landscape, I offer: Extensive Solidworks Proficiency: Leveraging advanced CAD/3D Modeling capabilities to expedite design iterations and optimize product performance. Broad Industry Exposure: From medical devices to agricultural engineering, I possess diverse mechanical engineer skills honed across various sectors. Entrepreneurial Acumen: Experience as a business owner underscores my strategic thinking, resourcefulness, and client-centric approach. A Can-Do Attitude: I provide a can-do attitude where I look at ways to solve complex problems rather than letting complexity deter me. Ready to elevate your project to new heights? Let's collaborate to turn your vision into reality. Reach out today to discuss how I can contribute to your next product idea!

I have a passion for Mechanical Engineering, Design & Manufacturing & I love helping people and companies bring their ideas to life! I have over 20 years of mechanical engineering & design experience. My design experience includes designing parts for injection molding, punch press, press brake, machining, laser/water jet cutting, & welding. Much of my experience is also designing assemblies for various industries such as Aerial Work Platforms, Machine Tool, Automation & Robotics. I have a background engineering in a fast-paced corporate environment. In that arena, I did design work for companies such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Space X, Blueorign, Ford, GM and many others. I have created several designs that have been awarded patents (10,724,657; Cable carrier guide, 9,803,721; Hybrid cable carrier chain, 9,722,402; Cable carrier guide, 7,784,259; Monolithic enclosed cable carrier). My work has embodied projects as small as a single part to complex systems containing thousands of parts. Specialties: Mechanical Design, 3D Modeling, 2D Drawing, 2D to 3D conversion, Product Design, Product Development, Project Management, New Product Development, AutoCAD Administration, SolidWorks Administration, Vault Administration.
