About
I am a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer with over 12 years of experience delivering innovative engineering solutions for industrial equipment, steel structures, machinery, lifting devices, and product development.
Throughout my career, I have successfully designed, analyzed, and optimized mechanical systems for clients in the mining, steel, energy, manufacturing, and industrial sectors, including projects for Vale, Petrobras, ArcelorMittal, Eletrobras, and international engineering teams.
I provide complete engineering services—from concept development to manufacturing-ready documentation—helping companies reduce development time, improve manufacturability, and minimize production costs.
My approach combines practical manufacturing experience with strong engineering fundamentals, allowing me to create designs that are not only functional but also efficient to manufacture.
My services include:
• Mechanical Product Design
• SolidWorks 3D CAD Modeling
• Machine Design
• Steel Structure Design
• Structural Analysis (FEA)
• Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
• Manufacturing & Assembly Drawings
• Weldments
• Sheet Metal Design
• Reverse Engineering
• GD&T
• Mechanical Calculations
• BOM Creation
• Industrial Equipment Design
• Conveyor Systems
• Lifting Equipment
• Technical Documentation
I have extensive experience working directly with fabrication shops, welders, machining companies, and industrial manufacturers, ensuring every design is practical, manufacturable, and compliant with engineering standards.
Software
✔ SolidWorks
✔ AutoCAD
✔ SAP2000
✔ CYPECAD
✔ MS Project
✔ Microsoft Office
Whether you need a simple mechanical part, a complete machine, structural calculations, or detailed fabrication drawings, I am committed to delivering high-quality engineering solutions on time and within budget.
I look forward to helping bring your project to life.
