About

Senior Mechanical CAD Designer with over 12 years of experience in industrial and manufacturing projects, specialized in manufacturing- and fabrication-ready drawings.

I work with detailed 2D and 3D CAD drawings focused on real-world fabrication, assembly, and installation, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and compliance with technical requirements.

My experience includes:
• Industrial steel structures and platforms
• Mechanical components and assemblies
• Heavy-duty industrial equipment
• Transfer chutes and bulk material handling systems
• Industrial piping and supports
• Fabrication drawings, sections, details, and BOMs

I use AutoCAD and SolidWorks to deliver production-ready documentation, including dimensions, tolerances, materials, and clear notes for shop and field teams.

In addition to detailing, I provide structural validation using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to verify stress distribution and safety factors in mechanical components, ensuring that designs are not only buildable but structurally sound.

I am familiar with international and local standards such as ASME, ANSI, ISO, and ABNT, and I adapt every project to the client’s manufacturing process and construction constraints.

My goal is to support companies with reliable, well-organized, and fabrication-ready CAD documentation.
