I have been working 7 days a week since December, so to say I am very dedicated is an understatement. I have owned my online business since 1994 when freelancing was just moonlighting. I am up front, if I don't feel comfortable with your proposed project or am not interested, I will let you know right away. I don't play games and I am an expert in my field which is Solidworks. I have been a project manager more than a few times during employment stints and I completely understand the manufacturing process. I am in expert in taking over projects when a key employee dies, quits, etc. (don't laugh, 3 of my best customers were draftsman or engineers that suddenly died). I have worked on everything from IC chip architecture to sandcastings to very large machinery and even a few urea plants. I am probably faster than your best cad guy and the whole time I am drafting I am also keeping an eye on deadlines, watching out for potential pitfalls such as hard to design parts or sourcing a more common or cheaper component. I am use to doing tab and slots for parts made out of plate, I can etch bent parts for use in laser cutting, know how to properly cope a tube for a laser machine, can use GD&T properly, can properly notate a weld diagram, assembly drawings, etc. My largest project to date (working under a process engineer and with a small team of drafters) was a 6M urea plant in china which was nearly a thousand pages of mechanical information, not to include mass balance info, spec sheets for the components, etc. The package was a 5' long wooden box that had to clear customs. I can source materials from china or other offshore locals and now I have a sub that will be helping me so I can get away from the crazy 7 day a week schedule. I have no problem managing your team, or providing consulting as well. I am starting to steer away from the smaller projects unless you are paying really well as there is a lot of "plate spinning" with a bunch of smaller projects.

I am a recent graduate from the M.S.E. in Robotics program at the University of Pennsylvania, where I also completed my B.S.E. in Mechanical Engineering. There, I also worked as a researcher in robotic design and soft robotics hardware. Much of my experience is in mechanical design, rapid prototyping, soft materials manufacturing, system evaluation, and data analysis.

I began my career as a journeyman machinist working for the most successful and highly respected job shop in my area. From manual milling and turning through CNC programming and successful machine shop management I gained a solid foundation in manufacturing methods and best practices. I began my engineering career specializing in fixturing and tooling supporting foundrys and machine shops. And began what would come to dominate my experience as a machine and product designer. Leveraging my strong manufacturing background I went to work for a semiconductor tooling manufacturer. Over a 15 year period I designed our companies entire product line that included best in class etching performance, most efficient exhaust usage through CFD modeling and many unique solutions to some of the industries most difficult problems. I moved into automated machine design dominating most of my time and had the opportunity to work with some of the best and brightest engineers in the industry. I believe my wide range of skills and experience combined with a natural ability has made me into a leading designer with an outside the box approach to difficult problems and ability to produce parts that cost less to manufacture and work the first time. Exceeding expectations and delivering on time.
