I am a Mechanical Engineer with 25 years of progressive experience in product development, mechanical design, and manufacturing engineering. My career has taken me from Junior Mechanical Design Engineer to Engineering Manager, giving me hands-on experience across the complete product development lifecycle—from concept and detailed design through prototyping, validation, manufacturing, commercialisation, and continuous improvement. My expertise is built around SolidWorks, complex assemblies, 3D modelling, detailed manufacturing drawings, Design for Manufacture (DFM), engineering analysis, and product development. I have extensive experience designing agricultural machinery manufactured in South Africa and exported internationally, with a strong focus on creating practical, robust, and cost-effective solutions that can be manufactured successfully. I have collaborated with international industry leaders including John Deere USA and CNH Industrial, and have contributed to products supplied to markets including Australia, Eurasia, and Kazakhstan. I believe good engineering is not simply about creating complex designs—it is about solving problems effectively and delivering real value to the customer and manufacturer. Whether you need 3D modelling, conversion of existing designs, detailed manufacturing drawings, complex assembly work, design modifications, or general mechanical engineering support, I bring 25 years of practical industry experience to every project. I also work with my own legally licensed engineering software, allowing me to work professionally with client CAD data and deliver manufacturing-ready results.
