About
Senior Mechanical Design Engineer with over 18 years of experience specializing in the end-to-end development of complex electro-mechanical systems and self-service terminals. As the Proprietor of CT Designs, I bridge the gap between mechanical housing and electronic integration, utilizing in-depth knowledge of sensors and actuators to create "smart" hardware solutions.
My expertise lies in high-precision sheet metal design, manufacturing optimization (DFM), and reverse engineering to reduce production costs. Whether it’s designing self srevice terminals or innovative medical device prototypes, I focus on delivering robust, manufacturing-ready designs that solve real-world operational challenges.
