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!

Autodesk Inventor - Expert Autodesk Fusion 360 - Skilled Industries -Aerospace, pharmaceuticals, Defense My biggest experience is reverse engineering components that are either impossible to find at an affordable price, or simply do not exist anymore. I have successfully reproduced components 100+ years of age, all the way up to modern components to the most complex machines.

Strong SolidWorks CAD skills (15+ years) for a vast range of design projects: Custom Machine/Automated machines, tooling, fixtures, dies and environmental projects. 29+ years of tool design using AutoCAD and/or SolidWorks including: Progressive dies design, single hit die design, Draw tooling design, Expand tooling design, Prototype tooling design and Fixture design. 20+ years of Product design, Product Development projects (end user part development as well as tooling to make the product), Product Rendering projects. Design for 3D printing and 3D printing projects for early product samples or as assembly verifications. Experience with pneumatics, hydraulics, robotic end of arm tools (EOAT’s), pick and place units, dial tables/indexers and various vision systems. Developed the Hercules Patient Repositioner system for The Morel Company. Morelcompany.com I have designed progressive dies for multiple companies around the world. Paper to CAD models to bring old legacy 2D CAD and paper prints into the 3D world. Reverse Engineering of existing parts, assemblies, machines. Also reverse engineer to 3D print so that multiple parts can be combined into 1 3D printed part to eliminate stocking of multiple components. I have designed a number of products that people had very rough sketches of or ideas in their head that needed to be turned into models and manufacturing drawings. Many of these are to make their life easier or in other cases to kick off their manufacturing business.
