About
I am a Mechanical Design Engineer with a Master's in Industrial Design Engineering. I specialize in product development, 3D modeling, and manufacturing processes. I am proficient in CATIA, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD, creating accurate 3D models and detailed 2D technical drawings for manufacturing.
I design various systems, including:
Car Shock Absorber – Achieved 15% weight reduction while maintaining structural integrity. Delivered manufacturing-ready files including 3D models, 2D drawings, BOM, and STEP files.
Horizontal & Vertical Timber Making Machine – Designed a complete industrial machine for timber processing, including structural frames, moving parts, and assembly systems.
I am passionate about turning ideas into functional, manufacturable products. Whether you need concept modeling, detailed design, or production-ready drawings, I can help. Let's bring your project to life!
