Experience

Mechanical CAD Designer MetalWorks Engineering S.A.S. · Full-time Aug 2017 – Apr 2026 8 yrs 8 mos Antioquia, Colombia Collaborated with remote clients to develop production-ready parts across 3D printing, and injection molding.
•Designed a hockey helmet padding system and body training equipment balancing impact protection and airflow for a sports client.
•Developed a hand therapy device (medical brace) with adjustable sizing, lightweight structure, and easy-clean materials.
•Selected appropriate materials and manufacturing processes to optimize cost, lead time, and performance.
•Delivered 3D models and engineering drawings directly to customers
2D/3D CAD Draftsman Innova Product Design Group · Full-time May 2013 – Apr 2026 12 yrs 11 mos Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia I used SolidWorks to design parts that were going to be 3D printed on their metal printers.
•Engineers or project managers would give me rough ideas or sketches, and I turned those into real 3D models. I also made sure the designs worked well with Velo3D's printing process — like adding supports or changing shapes so they wouldn't fail during printing.
•I had just graduated from Wichita State at that time, so I was still learning a lot. But my main job was creating solid, printable models and drawing files for the production team.
•It wasn't just about making things look nice — I had to make sure they were practical and could actually print correctly. So yeah, that was my role there.
