About

I am a Mechanical Design Engineer and Robotics graduate with strong hands-on experience in CAD design, robotic systems, and engineering problem-solving. I specialize in turning ideas and requirements into practical, well-structured designs that are ready for prototyping and real-world implementation.
My background includes mechanical and robotic system design using SolidWorks, developing compact mechanisms and end-effectors, performing FEA and motion analysis, and designing automation workflows and task sequences. I have worked on projects ranging from industrial components and fabricated structures to robotic manipulators and automated handling systems.
I focus on clear communication, well-defined scope, and delivering reliable engineering solutions that balance functionality, safety, and manufacturability. Whether supporting early-stage concepts or more detailed system designs, I aim to provide clean, professional work that clients can confidently build upon.
