About

I am a professional Mechanical Engineer specializing in precision parametric CAD modeling, mechanism design, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM). I transform concepts, rough sketches, or physical parts into robust, fully defined 3D assemblies optimized for real-world manufacturing.

My core expertise lies in designing custom electronics enclosures.

True Parametric Workflows: I build clean, organized feature trees driven by global variables and design intent. Need to scale a box or change a PCB standoff location? The model adjusts seamlessly without breaking.

Design for Manufacturing (DFM): I don't just create pretty renderings. My designs account for real-world manufacturing constraints, including CNC machining clearances, sheet metal bend allowances, injection molding draft angles, and 3D printing tolerance management.

Thermal & Structural Awareness: Backed by engineering fundamentals, I design with heat management (heatsinks, active/passive venting, natural convection) and structural integrity in mind.

Software Stack: SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape.
Deliverables: Production-ready STEP/IGES files, manufacturing-ready STLs, clean parametric source files, and detailed 2D technical drawings.

Let’s build something functional. Message me to discuss your project requirements!
