Engineers know how to draw. I know how to manufacture. With over 30 years of experience in the precision machining and aerospace industry, I bridge the gap between theoretical CAD designs and physical reality. I have engineered, programmed, and inspected custom precision components for grounded F-15/F-16 fighter jets, solid fuel rockets, and the C-17 Globemaster. I specialize in Design for Manufacturability (DFM) reviews. If you have a complex 3D CAD model, I will analyze it to identify impossible internal radii, inaccessible features, or fixturing nightmares before you waste thousands of dollars on the CNC machine. If your design looks perfect on the screen but you need to know if it will actually survive the shop floor, let's talk. Your Core Skills & Tags to Select • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) • Jig & Fixture Design • Contract Manufacturing • CNC Programming • Mastercam / AutoCAD / SolidWorks • Aerospace Tooling • Design Analysis & Validation

I’m a CAD/CAM designer with a strong background in CNC manufacturing and design for manufacturing (DFM). With years of hands-on experience running CNC machines and developing production workflows, I specialize in creating precise, production-ready 3D models and toolpaths that bridge the gap between design and the shop floor. My expertise includes: • Fusion 360 CAD/CAM – 3D modeling, assemblies, parametric design, and simulation. • CNC Programming – 2.5D and 3D milling, toolpath optimization, and post-processing for real-world machining. • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) – Engineering parts and assemblies that are not only functional, but efficient to produce, reducing costs and lead times. • Technical Drawings & Documentation – Industry-standard blueprints, tolerancing, and assembly instructions. • Rapid Prototyping – Preparing models for CNC machining, 3D printing, and other prototyping methods. I understand the challenges that come with moving a design into production. My background on the manufacturing floor means I design with real-world constraints, materials, and machining processes in mind. Whether you need a concept modeled, a prototype developed, or a full set of CNC-ready files, I can help you turn your idea into a manufacturable product. If you’re looking for a designer who knows both the software and the machine, let’s connect.
