About

Hey, I’m Mitesh — a Mechanical Engineer with a Master’s in Dynamics & Controls from NC State, and 3+ years of hands-on experience working in the US before moving back to India to start my own design and prototyping company, Stratified 3D.

I specialize in turning rough ideas and napkin sketches into functional, ready-to-manufacture CAD models. I work mainly on SolidWorks, with a strong grip on mechanical design, enclosures for electronics, and prototyping for startups. Whether it’s for pitch decks, investor demos, or production trials — I’ve designed enclosures, mechanisms, and 3D printed prototypes across industries.

I don’t believe in overcomplicating things. I believe in solving problems, meeting deadlines, and delivering solid, manufacturable results.

If you’re a founder, engineer, or maker looking for someone who understands both product design and business — let’s talk.

Experience

Founder, CEO Stratified 3D · Full-time Jul 2023 – Present 2 yrs 10 mos Panchkula, HR, India - Established a client-centric product development workflow that transformed early-stage concepts into functional prototypes, catering to startups and small businesses.
