About
I am an Engineering and Design professional with experience in mechanical design, drafting, and project development for custom industrial and elevator-related systems. My work includes creating detailed 3D models, fabrication drawings, and scalable design solutions using Fusion 360, allowing for efficient customization and streamlined production across multiple projects. I have also developed shop drawings for hoistways, platforms, cabs, and structural components while ensuring accuracy and manufacturability.
In addition to design responsibilities, I provide material cost estimates for sheet metal, structural steel, tubing, and piping, helping support project planning and budgeting. I also serve as a technical resource within the office, maintaining computer systems, troubleshooting hardware and software issues, and supporting day-to-day IT needs. My approach combines technical expertise, problem-solving, and process improvement to deliver practical, efficient solutions from concept through production.

Engineering & Design professional with experience in the elevator and steel fabrication industries, specializing in 3D modeling, drafting, reverse engineering, and project coordination. Designed custom elevator systems, platforms, cabs, hoistways, and structural components using Fusion 360, producing fabrication-ready models, shop drawings, flat patterns, and manufacturing documentation. Developed a parametric elevator cab modeling system that enables rapid configuration changes, reducing repetitive drafting work and improving design efficiency across multiple projects.
Coordinate with general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and field personnel to ensure project requirements, schedules, and technical specifications are met. Prepare material takeoffs and cost estimates for structural steel, sheet metal, tubing, and pipe while managing engineering revisions throughout project lifecycles. Contributed to major projects including the El Jardin Hotel Renovation in Brownsville, Texas, Texas Western Hall at the University of Texas at El Paso, and the Four Oaks Apartments development in San Antonio, Texas.
