I'm a mechanical engineering student (4th year, University of Georgia, B.S. expected May 2027) with hands-on experience designing and reverse-engineering hardware for defense and tactical equipment manufacturers. My core work is taking physical parts with no existing documentation — measured by hand, no 3D scanner — and producing accurate, manufacturing-ready CAD from them, along with original component design built for injection molding, CNC, and additive manufacturing from the ground up. What I bring: Reverse engineering from physical parts to production-ready models (Fusion 360; SolidWorks proficiency in progress) Design for manufacturing (DFM), GD&T, and tolerance stack-up analysis Rapid prototyping via in-house 3D printing (daily operation of Bambu Lab P1S/H2D) Working exposure to CNC machining and injection molding processes Clear, responsive communication — I treat every project like it has a real deadline, because it does I've completed 12+ CAD projects for a defense hardware manufacturer, including original component design and reverse-engineering work, and built a tutoring track record teaching CAD and engineering physics to other students. I'm not yet a licensed engineer or degree-holder — I'm upfront about that — but the deliverable speaks for itself: accurate, dimensionally sound, manufacturing-ready files, delivered on time. Happy to start with a smaller project if you want to see the work before committing to something larger.

I've been developing products for manufacturing for close to 20 years. My work has supported several large national brands as well as many humble start-ups. I understand how to position the product to serve the BOM and the brand.
