About
I'm a mechanical engineer with a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of West Florida and a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Florida State University. I specialize in translating concepts into manufacturable designs, with particular depth in optical component design and design-for-fabrication/machining.
I bring CAD Proficiency to your project with experience with SolidWorks, PTC Creo, and AutoCAD.
I have experience developing precision optical components where tolerances, alignment, and material behavior all have to work together.
I design with fabrication and machining constraints in mind from the start so parts can easily move from CAD model to physical production without delay.
I am meticulous with outputting clean, dimensioned, and machinist ready documentation that increases production speed.
Whether you need a concept developed from scratch, an existing design refined for manufacturability, or precision optical hardware engineered to spec, I bring both the technical rigor and the practical fabrication knowledge to get it right the first time.

Experienced CAD engineer specializing in custom fabrication design across optical, robotics, electronics/computer hardware, and manufacturing applications. I bring an engineering-first approach to every project, translating functional requirements into manufacturable, precision-engineered components.
My core capabilities include custom component design with a focus on precision engineering of Optical mounts and assemblies, robotics parts, electronic/computer hardware enclosures, and general manufacturing components. These components are always designed for real world tolerances, materials, and fabrication.
I have experience with static and dynamic force analysis to validate strength, stiffness, and fatigue life under operating loads; as well as CFD analysis for thermal management and airflow.
My designs are developed with DFM/DFA principles in mind, ensuring parts translate to CNC machining, 3D printing, injection molding, or sheet metal fabrication.
I am proficient in most all CAD design platforms (SolidWorks, Inventor, Creo, etc) and design most freelance work via SolidWorks.
