I’m a Mechanical Design Engineer specializing in SolidWorks, mechanical product development, design for manufacturing (DFM), and prototype development. I help clients turn ideas, sketches, existing parts, and functional requirements into practical 3D CAD designs that can actually be manufactured and tested. My approach goes beyond simply creating geometry—I consider how the part will be made, assembled, toleranced, and used in the real world. My experience includes: • SolidWorks part and assembly modeling • Mechanical product design and development • Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) • Functional prototypes and proof-of-concept designs • 3D-printable parts and additive manufacturing design • Sheet metal parts and fabricated enclosures • Mechanical enclosures and component packaging • Manufacturing drawings and GD&T • Tolerance and fit considerations • Design revisions and optimization • CAD models for prototyping and production • STL, STEP, Parasolid, and SolidWorks deliverables I’m particularly well suited for projects where the design needs to do more than look good. I enjoy solving mechanical problems involving fit, function, assembly, manufacturability, packaging, fastening, and real-world constraints. I can work from an existing concept or help develop a design from an early idea. Whether you need a single 3D-printable component, a mechanical assembly, a sheet metal enclosure, or help developing a product toward a manufacturable prototype, I can help move the design forward. My goal is straightforward: deliver clean, practical CAD that is designed with manufacturing and function in mind.

I have over 10 years experience designing industrial and consumer new products. I have managed projects as the lead engineer, developing prototypes and testing, designing components, sub-assemblies, and final assemblies for manufacturability. My expertise is looking at complex interactions and finding solutions given real-world constraints and manufacturing processes. I can help design prototypes based on specific needs as well as design final products that consider real world loads, durability, reliability and fatigue. I've managed engineering teams with as many as 11 global engineers to successful product launch.
