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.

Mechanical designer with professional experience supporting high-precision mechanical systems in a fast-paced engineering environment. Skilled in 3D CAD modeling, detailed manufacturing drawings, and design for manufacturability. Experienced with creating parametric models, assemblies, and production-ready drawings using modern CAD tools, with strong attention to tolerance control, fit, and functional performance. I regularly work with complex assemblies, precision components, and prototype hardware that must meet strict quality and reliability standards. Areas I can help with: • 3D CAD modeling from sketches or concepts • Mechanical part and assembly design • Manufacturing drawings and GD&T • Design for machining, fabrication, and 3D printing • Fixture and tooling design • Reverse engineering existing parts I enjoy helping clients turn ideas into clear, manufacturable designs and communicating closely throughout the design process to ensure the final result meets both functional and production needs. Tools: Creo (Parametric), mechanical drafting, GD&T, parametric modeling, tolerance analysis, and assembly design.

I offer "mechanical CAD design", "3D Modeling", "Mechanical Drafting & Drawing creation fully dimensioned", "Single 3D part or 3D assembly creation or modification", "2D to 3D Conversions", "Drawing redlines incorporation", "Product development", 3D Rendering". 3D CAD models "need to do more than just look good", I assure all 3D models are created or modified using modeling BEST PRACTICES. Meaning that the 3D part is created in such a way that allows the 3D model to be easily modified in the future. A unexperienced 3D designer may offer you a 3D model that looks good, but was built like a house of cards. If you try to modify the model you get multiple failures of features that cost time and money to repair. Customers should expect more than a CAD model that just looks good, but should expect a usable and stable 3D model for future use that reduces the need for unintended 3D model rework. Over 35 years with mechanical design for Aerospace, Military, Consumer and Medical product design, Automotive design, With such companies as; NASA, Lockheed, Textron, General Motors Co., Chrysler, Harley Davidson Motor Cycles, Piper Aircraft, and many others. In addition have over 30 years creating 3D models with single and multi part assemblies and fully dimensioned mechanical product drawings, with most top end CAD systems.
