About
I am a mechanical design engineer with over 10 years of professional experience in CAD modeling, technical drafting, and product development. My main expertise lies in working with SolidWorks (Certified Professional) and AutoCAD, specializing in the design of metal structures, plastic parts, and technical documentation.
In addition to CAD work, I have hands-on experience with ArtCAM for CNC programming, as well as a strong understanding of 3D scanning, reverse engineering, and 3D printing technologies. This enables me to provide end-to-end solutions — from concept design to ready-to-manufacture files.
Over the years, I have contributed to projects ranging from transportation equipment to industrial packaging solutions and consumer products, always delivering high-quality, precise, and efficient designs. I am adaptable to new tools and workflows and have a proven ability to learn new software quickly when needed (e.g., transitioning between different CAD platforms).
My focus is on understanding client needs, ensuring manufacturability, and optimizing designs for both performance and cost. I value clear communication, timely delivery, and practical, functional design.
Let's bring your ideas to life with precision and reliability!
