About
My name is Carl Schumacher; I am a Freelance CAD Technician with over 40 years of experience. Over my career, I have had the privilage of working in multiple industries, needing both 2D & 3D expertise ranging from Architectural, Civil / Structural, Mechanical, Electrical & Aerospace. This diversification has greatly broadened my abilities as a CAD Technician by understanding how all the "disciplines" interact and work together to make a complete project successful. My resume is available upon your request.
I have extensive Software experience ranging from AutoDESK (AutoCAD, Revit, Civil3D, Navisworks, 3DS Max), Bentley (Microstation, SmartPlant 3D, Smallworld), and Trimble (Field Software), to name a few. I have spent most of my career as a contractor, working under various head-hunting companies for both large and small corporations. Recently, I made the decision to strike out on my own and become a Freelance CAD Technician. I could be a great asset to your firm taking on extra work that needs to be completed quickly, using your standards, and to proper code.
Currently, I am using exclusively AutoDESK products, with future plans to expand my Software footprint as the need arises. I am an extremely capable CAD Technician, able to take on, and complete any CAD needs you have.
