About

I’m a mechanical engineer with 15+ years of experience in CAD design, CAM programming, CNC machining, and rapid prototyping. I help clients turn ideas into manufacturable, high‑performance products fast, accurate, and production‑ready.

My background spans motorsport engineering, fabrication labs, and advanced manufacturing, giving me a rare mix of design precision and real‑world build experience. I don’t just model parts I design them to be stronger, lighter, easier to machine, and ready for real‑world use.
What I deliver:
• 3D CAD modelling (AutoCAD Mechanical, SolidWorks, Fusion 360)
• CAM programming & CNC machining workflows
• Prototypes, tooling, jigs & fixtures
• DFM, DFA & manufacturing optimisation
• Reverse engineering & product improvement
•Digital Fabrication -3D printing
•Geometrical Dimensioning & Tolerance
