### CNC Programmer | CAD Designer | Prototype Machinist | Manufacturing Specialist I am an experienced machinist, CNC programmer, and CAD designer with a strong background in precision machining, mechanical design, and manufacturing. My experience combines hands-on shop knowledge with CAD/CAM capabilities, allowing me to develop practical designs that are both functional and manufacturable. I specialize in 3D CAD modeling, mechanical components, CNC programming, prototype development, and design for manufacturability (DFM). I work with software including Autodesk Fusion 360, BobCAD-CAM, and ViaCAD to create accurate models, technical drawings, and manufacturing-ready files. My hands-on experience with CNC milling machines, manual machining, welding, and fabrication gives me a practical understanding of materials, tolerances, machining processes, and manufacturing challenges. I understand the importance of designing parts that can be produced efficiently, accurately, and cost-effectively. **My capabilities include:** - 3D CAD modeling and mechanical part design - 2D technical drawings and manufacturing documentation - CNC programming and CAM toolpath development - Prototype design and product development - Design for manufacturability (DFM) - Reverse engineering from existing parts, sketches, or drawings - STEP, STL, DXF, and other CAD file formats - Machined components, fixtures, tooling, and custom mechanical assemblies - CNC machining, welding, and fabrication knowledge . I value clear communication, attention to detail, and delivering designs that work in the real world.

I am a mechanical and product development engineer with over 25 years of experience developing products from initial concepts through production launch. My background includes automotive, defense, specialty vehicles, and manufacturing engineering. I specialize in SOLIDWORKS design, mechanical mechanisms, injection- and blow-molded plastics, metal stampings, welded assemblies, castings, machined components, and design for manufacturing (DFM/DFA). I help clients solve challenging mechanical design problems, improve existing products, reduce manufacturing costs, and prepare designs for production. **Services include:** - 3D CAD modeling and mechanical assemblies using SOLIDWORKS - Product development, design improvements, and reverse engineering - Injection molding and metal component DFM reviews - Manufacturing drawings, tolerances, and assembly design - Prototype development, 3D printing, and CNC-ready designs - Engineering troubleshooting and design validation I bring practical engineering experience and an understanding of real-world manufacturing constraints. My goal is to deliver designs that function reliably and can be manufactured economically. I am available for short-term engineering projects and ongoing part-time consulting.
