About

I am a Mechanical Design Draughtsman with a strong technical foundation and over three years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, drafting, and engineering support. I hold a National Diploma (2016–2020) and an Advanced Diploma (2021–2023) in Mechanical Engineering, as well as Multidisciplinary Draughting N4 & N5 certifications.

Since 2022, I have worked extensively with crushers, wear parts, screens, modular crusher systems, spare parts, and heavy machinery, developing a deep understanding of mechanical components and plant equipment. My expertise includes:

3D modeling and detailed manufacturing drawings

Reverse engineering and design modifications

Converting 3D scans into production-ready CAD models

Development and optimization of wear liners, feed hoppers, and crusher assemblies

Providing on-site technical support and design advice to improve equipment performance and efficiency

I am passionate about delivering high-quality, precise, and functional CAD designs that meet client requirements and industry standards. I combine technical accuracy with practical engineering insight to produce solutions that enhance performance, durability, and maintainability.

Whether it’s a new product design, equipment modification, or reverse engineering project, I bring attention to detail, reliability, and a results-driven approach to every project I take on.
