About

I'm a Mechanical Engineering Technologist with over 20 years of experience using CAD/CAM software and a deep passion for turning ideas into real-world, manufacturable products.

I bring hands-on expertise in mechanical design, 3D modeling, prototyping, prototype testing, troubleshooting, re-design, and acceptance testing (both factory and on-site). I specialize in transforming rough concepts into practical, build-ready solutions using tools like Fusion 360 and Onshape.

Whether you're developing a consumer product, optimizing mechanical components, or need a smart CAD model to present to investors or manufacturers—I can help you bring it to life, quickly and affordably.

My core strengths include:
- 3D CAD modeling & mechanical assemblies
- Concept development & prototyping
- Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
- STL/STEP generation for 3D printing and CNC
- Reverse engineering & component optimization

From clever drop-in upgrades to complex mechanical systems for Canadian nuclear customers, I’ve delivered reliable, real-world solutions that work under pressure. I value clear communication, honest timelines, and practical designs that are ready for manufacturing.

Nothing gets my heart pumping like designing something awesome—let’s build something epic together.
