Interior Design graduate with over three years of hands-on design experience and eight years of technical expertise in the construction industry as a Truss Technician. Bilingual and highly versatile, with a diverse portfolio spanning small residential projects to large-scale, high-profile developments. Proven ability to approach design and structural challenges with creative and practical solutions, including experience in interior and landscape design, structural alterations, and truss system engineering. As a Truss Technician, I specialize in the design, analysis, and implementation of truss systems, ensuring structural integrity, code compliance, and seamless integration with broader architectural plans. I am proficient in CAD software and structural analysis tools, and I collaborate effectively with architects, engineers, and contractors to bring efficient and innovative designs to life. Ambitious and detail-oriented, I’m now seeking a new challenge that leverages my unique blend of design and construction knowledge while continuing to grow both personally and professionally in the design field.

My passion is product design; I love taking on challenging design problems and developing robust, cost effective solutions. I have 7 years of experience in mechanical design; in that time, I’ve worked on projects ranging from candle molds and custom guitar picks to exhaust manifolds and lube pumps. I’m proficient in 3D CAD design, and I currently use Fusion 360 for freelance work. Specialties: • Design for fluid flow: Optimized geometry for pulsed (like an exhaust manifold) and steady state (like coolant passages) flow conditions. Do not currently possess CFD analysis capability for freelance work, but have years of experience optimizing flow passages for high performance applications, and can apply that experience to any fluid design project. • Design for 3D printing: There is a common misconception that 3D printers can create any shape that can be imagined. While 3D printing can create shapes that are impossible with traditional manufacturing techniques, it has its own, unique limitations. Without a solid understanding of these limitations and how to account for them, 3D printing projects can become very frustrating very fast. • Design of mechanisms: Designing a system of parts that work together requires a considerable body of knowledge on top of simple part design. Assemblies must be robust against manufacturing variation, assembly variation, and have appropriate surface finishes in order to ensure that the parts will always go together and function as intended. • 2D drawings and GT&T: In most cases, the 2D drawing is still the legal document that defines the part; developing a drawing with a robust datum structure and proper tolerances is a critical part of turning an idea into a producible reality. Other proficiencies: • Design for sand casting: material selection, optimizing parting lines, core design. • Seal design: radial and face seal o-ring interfaces, as well as gasket sealing flanges. • Bolted joint design: proper bolt size and grade selection, grip length, thread engagement.

Hello! I am a Mechanical Design Engineer offering eight (8) years of product-development experience within manufacturing settings across multiple industries including aerospace, consumer products, medical, industrial, and energy. During my time in the aerospace industry I’ve honed my skills and proven my ability to create cost-effective, cutting-edge designs that meet project and product specifications. Also I’m an expert user of CAD programs and skilled producer of mechanical engineering documentation and drawings. I have 14 years of experience with 2D and 3D CAD design. I’m proficient in structural analysis, mechanics, process engineering, and thermodynamics. My aptitude in CAD extends to systems and product design including components and assemblies, detail drawings, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), assembly drawings, engineering BOM’s, and stress analysis. From 2008-2013 I worked at Blue Origin in Kent WA as a design engineer for the propulsion and structural/mechanical groups. Through my engineering knowledge I developed design solutions for aerospace vehicles, systems, and components in the conceptual design phase, as well as, having sole responsibility for specific vehicle subsystems and hardware throughout the design process. Over the course of this position I worked on 3 different space vehicles. I was the responsible engineer for tests of integrated systems on multiple occasions. This entailed orchestrating tests and leading groups of people. In the last year I have worked as a freelance mechanical design engineer during which time my cross industry exposure has been significant particularly relating to injection molded plastic parts, consumer product design, 3D printing, and design automation (API). Please take your time to look through my profile and let me know if I can be of assistance. Sincerely, David Mitchell

Graduated from the I.T. Nautico in Trieste, I have gained over 10 years of hands-on experience in naval and mechanical technical drawing at Fincantieri and Ansaldo. Proficient in MicroStation, AutoCAD 2D/3D, Fusion 360 and Revit. Expert in nesting, electric motor shaft and yacht design, including sizing, structural analysis and materials knowledge. I help architecture firms, engineering studios and manufacturing companies in Friuli Venezia Giulia manage workload peaks without hiring permanent staff.
