I am a Mechanical Engineering student based in Quebec, Canada, specializing in SolidWorks design and 3D modeling. Unlike standard drafters, I focus on Design for Manufacturing (DFM)—creating parts that are functional, cost-effective, and ready for fabrication. My experience includes competitive design work for Baja SAE, where I engineer off-road vehicle components (suspension, chassis nodes, brackets) that must survive extreme real-world abuse. This practical background ensures I understand tolerances, welding requirements, and material properties, not just geometry. Services I Offer: SolidWorks 3D Modeling (Parts & Assemblies) 2D Technical Drawings for Fabrication Sheet Metal & Weldment Design File Conversion (STL, STEP, DXF) I speak many languages (English, French, Portuguese and Spanish) and pride myself on clear communication and fast turnaround times. Whether you need a simple bracket or a complex assembly, I treat every project with the same dedication and attention.
