About

I’m a mechanical engineer with a Master’s degree in Robotics Engineering (with a concentration in Mechanical Engineering) and a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering. I have over 9 years of experience in 3D modeling with SolidWorks and nearly a year of intensive full-time experience using Onshape. My CAD journey began in the classroom and evolved through hands-on roles in robotics design, rapid prototyping, and product development.

I’m highly skilled in creating detailed 3D models and engineering drawings for mechanical parts and assemblies, particularly those designed for actuation, motion, and real-world functionality. My work spans advanced robotics projects, including the Kids T1 robotic hand for DeafBlind children and the Titan Rover, where I led the mechanical design of structural and electromechanical components. Both projects required precision modeling for 3D printing and manufacturability, with close attention to tolerances, material constraints, and functional integration.

I’m proficient in:

SolidWorks (Advanced user, 9+ years)

Onshape (Full-time use during Co-Op)

3D printing and STL preparation

Technical drawing creation (GD&T, DFM principles)

I also own and operate my own 3D printer, allowing me to test-fit designs and ensure prototype viability. Whether you need a production-ready CAD model, assembly simulation, or prototype design for printing, I’m ready to deliver high-quality results tailored to your needs.
