About

---
Mechanical Design Engineer | SolidWorks & Manufacturing Expert
---

With a strong background in mechanical engineering and industrialization, I specialize in turning complex ideas into functional, ready-to-manufacture products. My goal is to bridge the gap between pure CAD design and real-world production.

What I bring to your project:
- Advanced SolidWorks Modeling: From complex assemblies to detailed parts.
- Design for Manufacturing (DFM): I optimize designs for CNC machining, injection molding, and sheet metal to reduce production costs.
- Technical Documentation: Clear 2D drawings, Bill of Materials (BOM), and assembly instructions.

I am committed to delivering high-quality, precise work that respects your technical constraints and deadlines.
Let's build your next innovation together!
