About
Mechanical engineer with experience in both mechanical design and civil CAD drafting. I specialize in creating production-ready CAD models, fabrication drawings, and construction plans using SolidWorks and AutoCAD.
I help companies turn concepts, sketches, or existing drawings into precise CAD models ready for manufacturing, fabrication, or permitting.
Mechanical CAD services:
• 3D part and assembly modeling
• Product design and prototyping
• Fabrication and manufacturing drawings
• Sheet metal and mechanical components
• 3D printing and prototype models
Civil CAD services:
• Site plan drafting
• Construction drawings
• Utility and grading layouts
• Redrawing PDFs or sketches into CAD
My focus is creating designs that are efficient to manufacture, easy to build, and ready for production or construction

Construction Technology Technician / Grade Control Specialist
Reece Construction · Full-time
Aug 2024 –
Present
1 yrs 8 mos
Arlington, WA, United States
Develop and manage digital construction models used for machine-controlled grading and site development on active civil engineering projects.
• Create 3D terrain and construction models from civil plans and survey data using Trimble Business Center and CAD tools
• Translate engineering drawings into accurate machine-control models used by graders, excavators, and dozers for grading and utility installation
• Manage multiple project models simultaneously while maintaining compliance with WSDOT standards and project specifications
• Install, configure, and troubleshoot Trimble grade control systems on heavy equipment across multiple job sites
• Collaborate with project managers and field crews to resolve design discrepancies, update models, and maintain grading accuracy
• Train equipment operators and field personnel on machine control systems and digital modeling workflows
This role integrates civil engineering plans, CAD modeling, and field construction technology to ensure digital models accurately reflect engineering design and can be executed directly by machine-controlled equipment.
