I am a Senior Mechanical Designer with more than 18 years of experience creating innovative mechanical designs, production-ready 3D models, detailed manufacturing drawings, and engineered solutions across multiple industries. Since beginning my design career in 2007, I have worked on projects ranging from vacuum excavators, directional drilling equipment, auger boring systems, fluid power actuators, pneumatic valves and manifolds, to large-scale commercial water slide and aquatic attractions, to Point of Purchase retail displays. My experience spans the entire design process, from concept development and layout design through manufacturing documentation, rendering, and production support. I specialize in SolidWorks 3D modeling, assembly design, fabrication drawings, design-for-manufacturing principles, and product development. I am experienced in converting 2D CAD layouts into complete 3D assemblies, creating detailed engineering drawings, maintaining PDM systems, and producing realistic renderings for customer presentations and marketing materials. My goal is always to provide clients with practical, manufacturable, and cost-effective solutions while maintaining clear communication throughout the project lifecycle. Areas of Expertise: SolidWorks 3D Modeling Mechanical Design Product Development Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Manufacturing Drawings Sheet Metal Design Weldments Assembly Design Engineering Documentation 3D Rendering Reverse Engineering AutoCAD Drafting PDM Management Prototype Development Custom Equipment Design Whether you need a concept developed into a manufacturable design or require detailed production drawings from existing models, I can help bring your project from idea to reality.My experience spans the entire design process, from concept development and layout design through manufacturing documentation, rendering, and production support.
