Drawing from a rich background in goldsmithing, I embarked on my journey as an apprentice, mastering the intricacies of craftsmanship from the ground up. It was during this formative period that I first encountered CAD software, specifically Rhino3D, which revolutionized my approach to jewelry design. The transition from traditional techniques to digital platforms opened up a world of possibilities, igniting my passion for 3D modeling. Driven by a relentless curiosity, I delved deeper into the realm of digital design, pursuing additional training in 3D modeling techniques and discovering the transformative power of poly-modeling with 3DS Max and rendering with Vray. This newfound knowledge empowered me to not only design jewelry for 3D printing and casting but also to expand my horizons into product design. With a blend of traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, I seamlessly integrated CAD into my workflow, leveraging its capabilities to craft intricate designs and generate photorealistic renders. Recognizing the untapped potential of my skills, I transitioned into offering my services as a 3D designer, specializing in designing and rendering jewelry and various products. Today, armed with over 9 years of experience, I continue to channel my passion for design into every project I undertake. I invite you to explore my portfolio, a testament to my journey from apprentice to seasoned 3D artist, and discover the artistry and precision that define my work.

Profile Headline: Senior Mechanical Design Engineer | 20+ Years Expertise | Heavy Industrial to Precision Consumer Products About Me: I am a multi-disciplined Mechanical Design Engineer with a 22-year track record of delivering high-stakes industrial solutions. My expertise lies at the intersection of structural integrity, complex kinematics, and manufacturability. Whether designing massive rolling stock components or compact consumer mechanisms, my focus is always on functionality-driven engineering. I recently successfully completed the Power Hammer project here on Cad Crowd, where I applied rigorous mechanical principles to ensure durability and operational precision. My background is rooted in "Safety-in-Design," having led engineering teams for global leaders such as Gibela Rail, Alstom, and Bombardier. Why Work With Me? Industrial Rigor: I bring the precision of the railway and defense industries (Gibela, Reutech) to every project. I don't just draw in CAD; I engineer for real-world stress and longevity. Mechanism Specialist: Expert in designing sliding mechanisms, link-arms, and button-driven systems where tolerances and smooth movement are non-negotiable. Design for Manufacturing (DfM): Deep experience in preparing designs for injection molding, casting, and CNC machining, ensuring a seamless transition from 3D model to production floor. Fine-Detail Precision: I am the winning designer of the 2008 South African Mint Gold Coin (Vredefort Dome), a testament to my ability to manage extreme detail and artistic precision within technical constraints. Technical Proficiencies: Software: Expert-level SolidWorks/Creo/Catia/Solid Edge/Fusion/Inventor, CAD modeling, and assembly structure. Deliverables: Production-ready STEP/STL files, detailed 2D technical drawings for manufacturing, and exploded views for assembly. Specialties: Heavy Machinery, Consumer Electronics Housing, Tactical Hardware, and Reverse Engineering. I am committed to clear communication and high-throughput delivery. I look forward to helping you solve your most complex mechanical challenges. Portfolio Breakdown: From the "BliXit" thermal processor and the twin-engine utility aircraft to the pneumatic robotic assemblies - I have a very specific "Senior Engineer" design language. I am not just "drawing"; I am architecting. Here is a honest assessment of my work: 1. Professional "Real-World" Logic The biggest difference between a 3D artist and a Mechanical Designer is feasibility. My designs show a deep understanding of physics and manufacturing: The BliXit: I didn’t just style a blender; I tackled the drive-coupling and thermal interface logic. That is where most "pretty" designs fail in the real world. The STOL Aircraft: The choice of an H-tail configuration shows engineering intent. I’ve accounted for prop-wash and low-speed stability, which proves I am thinking about aerodynamics, not just aesthetics. 2. The "Geometric-Industrial" Aesthetic I have a signature style that I’d call "Modern-Rugged." My use of faceted, geometric surfaces (like those aircraft nacelles) gives my work a "prototype" or high-tech feel. This style works exceptionally well for the mining/industrial and medical-tech sectors. It looks expensive and intentional, which is exactly what high-paying clients on Cad Crowd are looking for. 3. Technical Depth (The "Full Package") What makes my portfolio competitive is the hidden work. I am not just delivering a .skp or .step file; I am providing: Reverse Engineering: The ability to take a 40-part vending machine and turn it into a GD&T-compliant dossier. Documentation: manuals and DXF packs prove I understand the "boring" but vital parts of the engineering lifecycle. "Precision CAD. Proven Engineering. Production-Ready."

I am a practical CAD designer, project manager and business owner with hands-on experience across construction, shopfitting, signage, electrical installations, rope access and commercial project delivery. My strength is combining CAD design with real-world site experience. I understand that a drawing must not only look correct on screen—it also needs to make practical sense when it is manufactured, installed or used on site. My CAD experience includes 2D technical drawings, layouts, drawing modifications, PDF/sketch-to-CAD conversion, 3D modelling, STEP and DXF files, concept development and rendered visualisations. I have also used CAD and 3D visualisation to develop concepts and potential equipment solutions for unusual rope-access and site-access challenges. My practical experience includes designing and fabricating support structures, electrical and signage installations, shopfitting, fault-finding, site measurements and solving installation challenges in real working environments. I founded SKALT (Pty) Ltd in 2025, through which I provide project management, construction, technical and rope-access services. Projects have included commercial shopfitting, office and furniture relocations, technical installations and site-specific design work. My project-management experience includes managing furniture relocations for VEGA Design School and Varsity College to their new premises in Sandton, as well as acting as Head Project Manager for the refurbishment of Komatsu Modular Mining's Bryanston offices on behalf of Scarab Projects. Through SKALT, I have also completed shopfitting work for a Good Earth store relocation in Plettenberg Bay and continue to assist Scarab Projects with commercial and educational furniture layouts, including current layout work for Rosebank College. Before establishing SKALT, I worked as General Manager at NorthStar Signs, where my responsibilities included managing commercial signage projects. This included project management of safety and general centre signage installations at Robberg Shopping Centre in Plettenberg Bay. My technical education includes N4 Electrical Engineering studies, including Mathematics, Engineering Science and Electrotechnics. I also hold a CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting and have completed training in advanced Microsoft Excel and data analysis. I am additionally IRATA Level 1 qualified in rope access. I am comfortable working from client sketches, measurements, existing drawings, photographs and technical requirements to develop clear CAD drawings and models. I value accuracy, practical problem-solving, attention to detail and clear communication with clients. I am particularly interested in assisting clients with: * 2D CAD drafting and technical drawings * PDF, sketch or existing drawing to CAD conversion * DXF drawing creation and modification * 2D-to-3D conversion * 3D part and component modelling * STEP models * Furniture, office and equipment layouts * Shopfitting and installation layouts * Basic fabrication and support-structure drawings * Site-specific concept development * CAD visualisation and rendered concepts * Drawing corrections, modifications and clean-up For work requiring professional engineering, architectural certification or regulatory approval, I can produce drawings and models from specifications supplied by the client or relevant professional, with final technical approval remaining with the appropriately qualified person.
