Autodesk Inventor - Expert Autodesk Fusion 360 - Skilled Industries -Aerospace, pharmaceuticals, Defense My biggest experience is reverse engineering components that are either impossible to find at an affordable price, or simply do not exist anymore. I have successfully reproduced components 100+ years of age, all the way up to modern components to the most complex machines.

I work for a vending machine and cooler Remanufacturer as an Associate Engineer. I spend most of my time reverse engineering OEM parts to have them made in our sheet metal department to reduce costs utilizing Siemens Solid Edge ST8. I waited a long time before starting my Engineering Education. I spent 10 years working for a solar panel manufacturer in production and process engineering. I then spent 2.5 years working for a local community college in their Alternative Energy Program before landing my current job.

Strong SolidWorks CAD skills (15+ years) for a vast range of design projects: Custom Machine/Automated machines, tooling, fixtures, dies and environmental projects. 29+ years of tool design using AutoCAD and/or SolidWorks including: Progressive dies design, single hit die design, Draw tooling design, Expand tooling design, Prototype tooling design and Fixture design. 20+ years of Product design, Product Development projects (end user part development as well as tooling to make the product), Product Rendering projects. Design for 3D printing and 3D printing projects for early product samples or as assembly verifications. Experience with pneumatics, hydraulics, robotic end of arm tools (EOAT’s), pick and place units, dial tables/indexers and various vision systems. Developed the Hercules Patient Repositioner system for The Morel Company. Morelcompany.com I have designed progressive dies for multiple companies around the world. Paper to CAD models to bring old legacy 2D CAD and paper prints into the 3D world. Reverse Engineering of existing parts, assemblies, machines. Also reverse engineer to 3D print so that multiple parts can be combined into 1 3D printed part to eliminate stocking of multiple components. I have designed a number of products that people had very rough sketches of or ideas in their head that needed to be turned into models and manufacturing drawings. Many of these are to make their life easier or in other cases to kick off their manufacturing business.

I specialize in digitizing old prints, updating prints to include GD&T and modern standards, PDF to CAD conversion, and creating 3D models from prints, images, or reverse engineering.

I am an Industrial Engineering student at Purdue University with hands-on engineering experience in SolidWorks CAD, mechanical design, manufacturing, prototyping, reverse engineering, testing, and process improvement. Much of my professional experience has been in aerospace and defense, where I have worked on projects requiring tight tolerances, detailed documentation, repeatable manufacturing, and compliance with strict specifications. My strongest skill is taking a problem or concept and turning it into a practical design. I have experience creating 3D parts, complex assemblies, engineering drawings, exploded views, manufacturing fixtures, alignment tools, housings, and production equipment in SolidWorks. I have taken projects from initial measurements and concepts through CAD design, manufacturing, assembly, testing, and design revisions. I also have significant experience with reverse engineering. I have reconstructed legacy aerospace and electronic components dating back to the 1940s and 1960s using physical parts and historical drawings, then redesigned components to work with modern manufacturing methods and off-the-shelf hardware. This work has required careful measurement, tolerance analysis, component selection, and an understanding of how individual parts interact within a complete assembly. My manufacturing experience includes designing precision fixtures, press tooling, alignment systems, automated dispensing concepts, cutting systems, and assembly processes. One project involved developing tooling for electrical components requiring approximately 0.005 inch dimensional accuracy. Another involved redesigning a production operation to process 32 components simultaneously, significantly increasing potential throughput compared with processing components individually. Beyond designing individual parts, I enjoy improving the entire manufacturing process. I have mapped production workflows, identified bottlenecks, divided projects into tasks and deadlines, and redesigned operations to reduce waiting, unnecessary handling, and opportunities for human error. I have also helped transition manufacturing processes from single-operator workflows into coordinated multi-station systems that allow multiple technicians to work efficiently. My testing experience includes mechanical, electrical, RF, dimensional, and prototype testing. I have worked with RF electronics where manufactured boards were tuned and tested for parameters including voltage ratio, signal delay, and phase alignment. I have also supported prototype testing of aerospace and counter-UAS systems, giving me experience using test results to identify problems and improve designs rather than treating CAD and testing as separate stages. I have produced technical and government engineering documentation for aerospace and defense projects, including manufacturing drawings, assembly documentation, wiring diagrams, process visualizations, and design standards. I understand the importance of making drawings not only dimensionally correct, but also clear enough that another engineer, machinist, or technician can reliably manufacture and assemble the design. My primary skills include SolidWorks 3D modeling, mechanical and product design, engineering drawings, reverse engineering, design for manufacturing, precision fixtures and tooling, prototyping, manufacturing optimization, tolerance analysis, testing, and technical problem solving. My Industrial Engineering education complements this practical experience with coursework in statics, manufacturing, data analysis, optimization, process design, and systems thinking. I particularly enjoy projects where mechanical design and manufacturing efficiency overlap, designing something that not only works but can also be produced accurately, reliably, and efficiently. Whether a project involves creating a part from a sketch, converting an existing component into CAD, developing manufacturing drawings, designing an assembly, or improving a production process, my goal is to provide accurate and practical engineering work that can actually be built and used.

I am a precision machinist and reverse-engineering specialist with more than 25 years of experience in machining, motorsports, fabrication, inspection, and product development. I specialize in converting physical parts into accurate, manufacturable CAD models. My services include 3D scanning, reverse engineering, parametric modeling, replacement-part reproduction, fixture and tooling design, and preparation for CNC machining or 3D printing. I work with Quicksurface Pro, Fusion, and professional Shining 3D scanning equipment. My machining background helps ensure the finished files account for tolerances, fit, tooling access, and real manufacturing requirements. I provide practical STEP, STL, and OBJ files that are ready to manufacture—not just models that look correct on a screen.
