About
I am a Mechanical and Aerospace Design Engineer with over 10 years of combined experience across engineering and manufacturing, including 3 years in engineering roles and 7 years as a manufacturing technician. My expertise includes product design, aerospace structures, composite components, precision mechanisms, and manufacturing-ready CAD.
I specialize in taking concepts from early design through detailed engineering and validation, including CAD modeling, FEA, design for manufacturing, BOM creation, and technical documentation.
My hands-on manufacturing background allows me to develop practical, robust designs that transition smoothly from concept to production. I have experience supporting aerospace hardware, composite tooling, prototype and test systems, and electromechanical assemblies.
I focus on delivering high-quality engineering solutions with strong attention to detail, clear communication, and reliable project execution.
