About
Freelance CAD & Simulation Engineer specializing in automation, mining, and automotive jig design. I bring expertise in Inventor, SolidWorks, Siemens NX, and simulation tools like ANSYS, Rocky DEM, and EDEM for FEA, CFD, and particle dynamics, along with Blender for reverse engineering. My experience includes designing efficient automated systems, optimizing mining equipment through DEM simulations, and creating precision jigs and fixtures for automotive manufacturing. I’ve also implemented ISO 9001 quality systems, ensuring compliance and efficiency. Key projects include fatigue analysis for mining machinery, automated assembly systems that cut production time by 30%, and reverse-engineering legacy components into functional CAD models. With a strong technical background and a problem-solving mindset, I deliver high-quality, manufacturable designs with fast turnaround. Let’s collaborate to bring your engineering projects to life!
