I am a manufacturing-focused CAD/CAM engineer with strong hands-on experience in mechanical design, CNC machining preparation, and shop-floor manufacturing processes. I specialize in production-ready design, ensuring parts are easy to machine, assemble, and fit correctly — not just visually correct 3D models. My core expertise includes: • Mechanical part & assembly design (PTC Creo) • AutoCAD 2D manufacturing drawings • CAM programming & toolpath planning • CNC milling & turning preparation • Lathe operations & machining logic • Grinding (surface & cylindrical) • Die fitting & tool components • Jig & fixture understanding • Process planning & manufacturing optimization I understand real-world manufacturing constraints such as tolerances, tooling selection, surface finish, material behavior, and cost control. My goal is to help clients move smoothly from design to production, reducing errors, rework, and machining costs.

I’m a Mechanical Design Engineer with a passion for creating designs that look good, work well, and are built to last. I’ve worked on a variety of projects, from consumer gadgets to rugged agricultural implements and I always combine creativity with engineering precision. What I Do Best: • Build complex mechanical assemblies in SolidWorks, with automation via VBA macros to save time. • Apply knowledge-based engineering rules to make designs consistent and efficient. • Run simulation-driven design checks in ANSYS before a single part is manufactured. • Prototype parts using 3D printing for quick design validation. • Integrate electronics with mechanical designs using Proteus 8 (including custom SPICE components + DLL integration) and Arduino. • Create Python scripts and GUIs for engineering calculations, automation, and visualization. If you want someone who can design, test, and prototype your idea from start to finish, while keeping the process clear and deadlines on point, I’m ready to work with you.
