About
Mechanical Design Engineer with over 20 years of experience in CAD design, product development, tooling, and CAD training.
Specialized in advanced SolidWorks modeling, complex mechanical assemblies, sheet metal, welded structures, plastic parts, advanced surfacing, molds and tooling, as well as manufacturing-ready technical drawings. I also have experience in CAD automation (SolidWorks VBA macros) and engineering data management (PDM / ERP systems).
Throughout my career, I have led engineering teams, developed and standardized design methodologies, and supported industrial companies in the integration and optimization of CAD tools.
My goal is to deliver reliable, manufacturable, and optimized designs, while taking into account cost, quality, and schedule constraints.
