About

I am a Graduate Mechanical Engineer with a background in field operations and industrial design. I specialize in transforming complex conceptual sketches and 2D PDFs into high-precision, production-ready 3D models using SOLIDWORKS.

My approach is rooted in "Design for Manufacturability" (DFM). Unlike basic 3D modelers, I understand the mechanics of the shop floor—specifically in sheet metal fabrication. I provide clients with accurate flat patterns, taking into account specific K-Factors, bend deductions, and material gauges to ensure that what is designed on the screen fits perfectly in the press brake.

Core Services:

Sheet Metal Design: Enclosures, brackets, and complex folded components.

Production Files: Clean DXF/DWG exports for Laser, Plasma, and Waterjet cutting.

Technical Documentation: Professional 2D drawings with GD&T and automated Bill of Materials (BOM).

CAD Conversion: Accurate 3D modeling from legacy PDF or hand-drawn blueprints.

Portfolio

Experience

Junior Field Engineer China National Logging Corporation CNLC · Full-time Jan 2024 – Sep 2025 1 yrs 8 mos Pakistan I worked as a wireline engineer. I was involved in performing logging operations.

Education

Mehran University of Engineering and Technology Bachelor's, Mechanical Engineering, 3.45 2019 – 2023 Activities and Societies: IES, MechES, ASME Completed a rigorous four-year engineering curriculum focused on core mechanical principles, including Machine Design, Advanced Manufacturing Processes, and Computer-Aided Design (CAD). My academic path emphasized analytical problem-solving and the application of engineering standards to real-world projects. For my Final Year Project, I conducted in-depth research and design work that required advanced modeling in SOLIDWORKS and structural validation in ANSYS, ensuring all designs met strict safety and manufacturability criteria.

Other experience

Freelance CAD Designer 2022 - Present
Providing specialized CAD services with a focus on Sheet Metal Design and Mechanical Assemblies. Since 2022, I have maintained a dedicated practice in SOLIDWORKS, bridging the gap between theoretical engineering and practical manufacturing.

Project Highlights & Technical Proficiency:

Advanced Sheet Metal Modeling: Expert at creating multi-bend enclosures and brackets using industry-standard K-Factors and Bend Deductions to ensure 'First-Time-Right' manufacturing.

Manufacturing Documentation: Generating production-ready DXF/DWG files for CNC laser and plasma cutting, complemented by detailed 2D technical drawings.

Design for Assembly (DFA): Developed complex assemblies with integrated Bill of Materials (BOM) and interference checking to ensure seamless physical fitment.

Continuous Skill Evolution: Actively staying at the forefront of CAD technology, transitioning from general modeling to specialized industrial fabrication and structural validation.
