About
I am a Mechanical Engineering professional with a strong passion for CAD design, mechanical design, product development, and engineering problem-solving. My background combines mechanical engineering principles with practical experience in creating detailed engineering drawings, developing mechanical concepts, and designing components and systems for real-world applications.
My skills include 3D CAD modelling, 2D technical drawings, mechanical component design, assembly design, product design and development, CAD/CAM, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), HVAC system design, and engineering analysis. I have experience working with engineering tools including Solid Edge, ANSYS Workbench, MATLAB and Simulink.
My project experience includes mechanical product development, detailed engineering drawings, bulk material-handling systems, and the design of water transportation systems. These projects have strengthened my ability to take an engineering problem from an initial concept through modelling, analysis and detailed design.
I am detail-oriented and focused on producing accurate, practical and manufacturable designs. I enjoy transforming ideas, sketches and engineering requirements into professional 3D models and production-ready technical drawings.
I am particularly interested in CAD modelling, mechanical drafting, product design, machine components, assemblies, design modifications and engineering drawing projects. My goal is to provide clients with reliable, professional CAD work while continuously expanding my experience as a mechanical designer.
