Experience

• Lead CAD Engineer for Aerospace Startup Aerospace Startup · Contract Nov 2025 – Present 1 mos United Kingdom As the go-to CAD specialist for a cutting edge drone tech startup, I spearheaded the 3D modeling and optimization of custom carbon-fiber frames that improved flight efficiency by 25% while reducing weight by 15%. Using SolidWorks and Rhino, I iterated designs through rapid prototyping cycles, collaborating with a team of 5 engineers to meet tight FAA compliance deadlines, resulting in a successful product launch that secured $2M in funding for the client. This project honed my skills in finite element analysis (FEA) and sustainable material integration, ensuring designs that are as innovative as they are manufacturable.
• Product Development Consultant for Consumer Electronics Brand Brandify Gofy · Contract Mar 2018 – Aug 2025 7 yrs 5 mos United Arab Emirates Consulted on the ground up engineering of wearable tech gadgets for a rising electronics brand, creating photorealistic 3D renders and assembly models in Blender and KeyShot that accelerated investor pitches and cut prototyping time by 40%. By blending mechanical engineering principles with aesthetic design, I resolved ergonomic issues in early prototypes, resulting in a flagship product that hit market shelves ahead of schedule and garnered 4.8 star reviews. This gig taught me the art of balancing form and function, delivering designs that not only work flawlessly but also captivate end-users.
• Freelance 3D Modeler for Industrial Packaging Firm Packaging Firm · Freelance Feb 2020 – Jun 2025 5 yrs 4 mos United States Partnered with a major eco-packaging manufacturer to redesign biodegradable containers via AutoCAD and Fusion 360, slashing production costs by 30% through smarter nesting and material waste reduction. I handled everything from initial concept sketches to final injection mold-ready files, incorporating client feedback in under 48 hours per revision, leading to a patent-pending design adopted across their product line. Clients loved how I anticipated assembly line bottlenecks, turning potential headaches into seamless, scalable solutions that boosted their green credentials.
