About
I am a Mechanical Design Engineer specializing in product development, industrial equipment design, and manufacturing-ready CAD modeling.
With professional experience in HVAC product development at Swegon, I have designed and developed mechanical assemblies, industrial enclosures, and structural components with a strong focus on manufacturability and production documentation.
My expertise includes:
• 3D CAD modeling of mechanical parts and assemblies
• Production-ready 2D manufacturing drawings
• GD&T and tolerance control
• Design for manufacturability (DFM)
• Product design refinement and optimization
• Engineering drawing conversion and modifications
I design with manufacturing in mind — ensuring structural integrity, fabrication feasibility, proper tolerancing, and efficient production workflows.
If you require reliable mechanical design support for product development, prototyping, or production documentation, I am available to assist.
