About
I am a mechanical engineer with over 14 years of experience working on 2D and 3D CAD design for machinery, industrial systems, and custom equipment. I use tools like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Creo, and Onshape to create accurate, fabrication-ready drawings and models.
Here’s what I can help with:
2D drafting for fabrication, layouts, and revisions
3D modeling of parts and assemblies
Converting hand sketches or old drawings into clean CAD files
Preparing BOMs, GA drawings, and technical documentation
Over the years, I’ve worked with clients in pharmaceutical, food processing, and heavy machinery industries. I focus on delivering CAD work that’s clear, reliable, and ready to go straight into production. I also stay hands-on with the latest design standards and workflows to make sure my work meets real-world expectations.
If you’re looking for someone who understands the details that matter in manufacturing and drafting, I would be glad to support your project.
