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.

Product Design Engineer | Catia V5 & AutoCAD Specialist I don’t just model a part’s aesthetics; I model its industrial function. My focus is to bridge the gap between creative design and manufacturing feasibility. As a specialist in Catia V5 and AutoCAD, I deliver high-precision 3D models that strictly adhere to industrial standards and production constraints. What I bring to your project: Design for Manufacturing (DFM): My goal is to ensure that by the time my files reach the mold designer, there is no need for correcting draft angles or suggesting structural changes. They are production-ready. Precision & Efficiency: Advanced mastery of Catia V5 for complex surface and solid modeling, ensuring absolute technical integrity. Process Optimization: Beyond "drawing," I aim to reduce cycle times and tooling costs through intelligent design from day one. Commitment to Excellence: I am dedicated to continuous development and raising the standard of every delivery. Core Competencies: High-precision 3D Modeling (Catia V5). Technical Drawing & 2D Schematics (AutoCAD). Part Optimization for Plastic Injection & Tooling. Technical Support for New Product Development (NPD). My technical and creative vision brings security and speed to your upcoming launches.
