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’m a Product Design Engineer with a background in professional design engineering, hands-on marine systems and practical prototyping. I specialise in turning ideas, sketches and real-world problems into functional 3D models, technical drawings and prototype-ready designs. I hold qualifications in Multi-Disciplinary Engineering & Design and Drawing Office Practice, with professional experience designing industrial environmental-control and process systems using AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor. Since moving into the superyacht industry in 2014, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience working with mechanical equipment, marine systems, maintenance, fabrication and practical problem-solving. That experience strongly influences how I design: simple, functional, serviceable and built around how something will actually be used. Today I work primarily in Shapr3D, alongside AutoCAD, Inventor and FDM 3D-printing workflows. My independent projects include mechanical products, irrigation and hydroponic systems, equipment concepts, assemblies, functional mechanisms and everyday product solutions. The part I enjoy most is the beginning: you have an idea, sketch or problem — I work out how to turn it into something real. Available for product design, 3D CAD modelling, technical drawings, concept development, design for 3D printing and prototype development.
