About
Hi, I'm Colin Young, a seasoned draftsman and welder with over 10 years of hands-on experience in fabrication and design. I specialize in creating detailed 2D and 3D CAD models, particularly for API 650 storage tanks, steel structures, and custom aluminum projects. My extensive fabrication background gives me a practical understanding of manufacturable designs that meet both client and industry standards.
Currently, I work as a Draftsman/Engineer in the above-ground storage tank industry and am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology. My work combines technical expertise with real-world fabrication experience to deliver high-quality results for every project.
