About

I’m a mechanical engineer with over three years of experience in manufacturing, design, and field engineering roles. With a solid foundation in CAD modeling, prototyping, and hands-on problem-solving, I specialize in turning concepts into functional, manufacturable products. My background includes designing components for aerospace, wastewater treatment, and bearing applications—often in fast-paced, highly technical environments.

What I Offer

3D Modeling & Design: Expertise in SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and Onshape

Engineering Insight: Designs that balance innovation with real-world feasibility

Manufacturing Experience: Knowledge of CNC machining, sheet metal, and assembly processes

Cross-Functional Communication: Experience working between engineering, fabrication, and field teams

Sample Projects

Designed and prototyped a UAV airframe and payload system for a custom mission profile

Developed wastewater equipment designs from concept to shop floor using SolidWorks

Built efficient workflows for model cleanup, drawing generation, and part documentation

Why Work With Me
I’m detail-aware, fast to iterate, and I ask the right questions to make sure your design gets done right—the first time. Whether you need a design from scratch or want to clean up and optimize an existing model, I’m ready to help
