With over 25 years of experience in SolidWorks and AutoCAD across various industries, I am a semi-retired professional with three design patents for products in current use. My expertise spans plastic resins, injection tooling, costing, and various metals such as aluminum (6061-T6), aluminum die-casting, stainless steels, and titanium. I am adept at calculating stresses for fatigue, breaking points, and load requirements. I possess extensive knowledge in designing tooling for molds, including colorant, UV, and wall thickness considerations, as well as gate locations, shut-off, and knock-out pin placements. For military-grade products requiring high yield strengths, such as 304, 326, 17-4, and 1505 stainless steels, I can identify weak points using SolidWorks and other testing equipment. As a comprehensive engineering service provider, I am prepared to support your engineering and design needs. My SolidWorks skills have benefited numerous industries, including medical products, toys, printer components, aircraft, satellites, drones, and handheld devices. Additionally, I can assist with manufacturing processes to reduce costs and waste while streamlining operations using 5S methodology and flow charts via Visio and MS-Project. I have experience in aiding the application process for utility and design patents, including both provisional and nonprovisional applications. I hold a BSME degree, six-sigma green-belt along with solidowrks certification.

I’m a mechanical designer and project engineer with over 10 years of experience delivering innovative, manufacturing solutions across 100+ projects totaling $10M+ in scope. My career has produced designs for industries including manufacturing, water treatment, agriculture, energy, logistics, food processing, and retail, where I’ve combined strong 3D design skills with hands-on project execution and leadership. I specialize in product development, turnkey manufacturing management, and mechanical system design, with a deep understanding of how to move ideas from concept to production. My background includes SolidWorks, Inventor, FEA (SimSolid), and a range of ERP/MRP and WMS tools that keep complex projects efficient and traceable. Over the years, I’ve worked across industries including industrial automation, material handling, custom machinery, energy systems, logistics, and manufacturing services. My work has ranged from detailed mechanical drafting and 3D modeling to managing engineering teams, vendors, and quality documentation. I’ve designed and optimized equipment, implemented process automation through Excel VBA and other tools, and mentored designers on best practices in CAD modeling and drawing standards. In addition to design work, I’ve contributed heavily to project estimation, procurement, and production coordination, ensuring that cost, schedule, and technical requirements stay aligned. I’ve also implemented improvements in inventory management, vendor relations, and cost control—reducing waste and improving bottom-line efficiency for my employers and clients. Whether leading a project from initial concept through prototype testing or providing detailed drawing packages for production, I focus on solving problems and delivering dependable mechanical and process solutions. I take pride in creating designs that are practical, efficient, and easy to manufacture. I’m currently seeking remote or contract-based mechanical design opportunities, where I can apply my background in 3D modeling, FEA, and manufacturing processes to help companies execute their projects effectively. I’m especially drawn to roles that value initiative, attention to detail, and a balance between technical accuracy and creative problem-solving.
