I am a technical professional specializing in Mechanical Engineering Design and precision manufacturing, with over 7 years of industrial experience. My background as a NIMS-USA certified Tool & Die professional allows me to create digital designs that are fully optimized for the shop floor. ​By leveraging GnaCAD, I provide comprehensive engineering solutions, including: ​Precision Machine Part Design: Developing detailed models for components such as gears, shafts, and custom brackets, informed by my proficiency with Lathes, Milling machines, and Drill Presses. ​Sheet Metal & Enclosure Engineering: Expertise in calculating Flat Patterns and Bend Lines for complex industrial housings and safety infrastructure. ​Design for Manufacturability (DFM): Using my background as a NIMS-USA certified professional to ensure designs meet international standards for Measurement, Material, and Safety. ​Technical Documentation: Creating "first-time-right" technical drawings that incorporate Engineering Science and rigorous 5S Safety protocols to reduce production errors and plant downtime. ​Industrial Integration: Because I have extensive experience maintaining Extrusion, Looming, and Printing machinery, I ensure every CAD model I produce is practical for real-world mechanical assembly. ​I bridge the gap between complex engineering concepts and physical production, ensuring high-accuracy results for every project.

I am a young, hard working, enthusiastic engineer and product designer who is eager to take on new challenges. I have a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours) from the University of Auckland, from which I graduated in 2017. I have 2 and a half years experience as a professional design engineer, where i have played a major role designing and manufacturing electromechanical 'smart' lockers, cabinetry, consumer electronic hardware and touch screen display kiosks. I also host hands-on fabrication experience, such a cutting, grinding and welding steel benches and trolleys. My services include (but are not limited to): • Concept design • Detailed design • CAD • CAM • 3D printing files • Technical drawings of individual components • Assembly drawings • Bill of materials • Materials and manufacturing recommendations • Basic simulations (FEA, CFD) • Product renders • Product animations • Instruction/assembly manuals • General design recommendations I possess great communication and problem solving skills enabling me work with clients from the start of a project until the end, ensuring you get the exact result you were after. I understand it can be hard to select the right freelancer so please don’t hesitate to ask any questions about myself or my background to aid your decision.

I started working as a design engineer in 1992 at WEFOMA in Bietigheim-Bissingen (Germany), where I also completed my apprenticeship as a toolmaker. In the period 1992-1996 I did my studies as a technician at the Max-Eyth School in Stuttgart, which I successfully completed in January 1997. Until our emigration to Switzerland in 2008, I was able to gain design experience in various areas at the WEFOMA company. The design of aluminum die casting molds and of drawing and punching tools were my main focus, as well as drawing creation and data preparation on the Catia V5 system. From October 2008 to August 2021 I worked for the company KEBO. (Switzerland) My responsibilities ranged from the design of plastic injection molds for well-known customers in the medical and packaging industries, assistance in new developments and innovations, design of complex assemblies, detailed designs and drawing derivations, the supervision of the production process to the support of data preparation, archiving and all data traffic. The safe handling of the CAD system Siemens NX in connection with Teamcenter is self-evident for me, so that I also give internal trainings in this area. In addition, I have built up and expanded standardization to ensure easier and more efficient work. From April 2015 to March 2016, I was appointed in the context of a partnership with a company in the USA, to build up a new design office and to introduce the new software Solid-Works. There I successfully managed and trained the staff.
