About

I am a Senior Product Design Engineer with 10+ years of experience in automotive product design and development. I specialize in delivering high-quality, production-ready designs using CATIA.
My expertise includes new product design, plastic parts design, sheet metal design, 3D printing (additive manufacturing) design, tolerance stack-up analysis, and detailed 2D drawings for manufacturing.
I have worked on automotive systems such as displays, audio infotainment systems, instrument clusters, switches, rotary knobs, and climate control panels. I also have strong experience in designing plastic components like interior instrument panels, door panels, and black box enclosures.
Additionally, I have experience in designing parts and products optimized for 3D printing, ensuring functional performance, manufacturability, and cost efficiency.
I bring strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills, enabling me to identify design challenges early and deliver innovative, practical, and cost-effective solutions.
I also hold patents in product design and development, reflecting my focus on innovation and engineering excellence.
I am highly responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to delivering reliable, on-time, and high-quality engineering solutions.
