About
I’m a results-driven Senior Mechanical Designer with over a decade of experience transforming complex ideas into precise, production-ready sheet metal and mechanical assemblies. With a strong foundation in 3D CAD modeling, I specialize in designing large HVAC systems and custom stainless steel solutions that align with both engineering requirements and customer needs.
I have lead the development of custom HVAC unit, custom kitchen equipment, custom biomedical tools, submittal and production drawings, design fabrication tooling, and streamline processes for manufacturability and efficiency. I bring hands-on knowledge of shop floor practices and a deep understanding of how smart design impacts real-world performance.
Known for being collaborative, resourceful, and detail-oriented, I excel at spotting design conflicts early and delivering solutions that keep projects on track. I’m passionate about bridging the gap between conceptual design and functional product — and I’m always open to new challenges that push innovation and craftsmanship forward.
