About
Senior Mechanical Engineer and CAD Designer with over 40 years of experience supporting industrial, energy, and manufacturing projects. I specialize in 3D mechanical design, large assemblies, piping and equipment layouts, and production-ready 2D/3D CAD drawings.
My background includes industrial equipment, energy and hydrogen systems, HVAC, air compressors, mechanical enclosures, and complex assemblies for regulated environments. I regularly support clients with concept development, detailed CAD modeling, drawing creation, design updates, and manufacturing support.
I work primarily with PTC Creo and SolidWorks and am comfortable integrating into existing teams or working independently. I am available for short-term and long-term remote contract work and focus on delivering accurate, build-ready designs with clear communication and fast turnaround.
