I am a design engineer with experience in designing products and tooling for both low- and high-volume manufacturing. Whether you need to reverse-engineer a broken component, model your on-shored product, model and render a new product or concept, produce RFQ-ready technical drawings with full GD&T, or develop quality, easy-to-use tooling/jigs/fixtures for your manufacturing line, I can do it! I am a Certified SolidWorks Professional and an expert in Fusion360 - licenses for both of which I own. In particular, I excel at building parametric, equation-driven models and design tables at the part, sub-assembly, and top-level assembly levels. I am also experienced at parametrically linking Solidworks drawings for automatic information updates. My manufacturing experience includes injection molding, thermoforming, extrusion, acoustic felt, sheet metal, steel/concrete pipe, additive manufacturing, 3-axis CNC, and product assembly. I've reverse-engineered, designed, and revised hundreds of custom products and tools. I have worked the production floor myself, so I know what to look for and ask about when designing for production. I can build small- to mid-size mechanical prototypes, such as a small prototype refrigerator that I designed and built in the second half of 2022. I have the ability to produce parts via FFF printing. I can also assist you in locating quality vendors for tooling and production. Certifications: Certified Solidworks Professional in Mechanical Design (CSWP-MD) C-8SKX4GBT3R Certified Solidworks Professional Advanced - Sheet Metal (CSWPA-SM) C-F67ZHEX3WR Certified Solidworks Professional Advanced - Drawing Tools (CSWPA-DT) C-UA37YPGQKM Solidworks PDM Professional, by GoEngineer.

With a career built on understanding how things work, I've transitioned from maintaining and assembling complex machinery to designing it. My experience as a CNC Operator, a Crawler Crane Technician for Liebherr, and a UH-60 Helicopter Maintainer for the U.S. Army has given me an invaluable, hands-on education in engineering principles. I don't just see a drawing; I see the physical product, its assembly process, and its operational demands. After excelling in formal drafting and CAD coursework, I am dedicated to a full-time career in mechanical design.
