About
I am a Senior Mechanical Engineer with 15+ years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, 3D CAD, engineering analysis, industrial equipment, automation, BIM management, and project execution.
My experience covers the complete engineering process, from concept development and engineering calculations through 3D parametric modeling, detailed drawings, BOM development, fabrication, installation, commissioning, and field support.
My technical experience includes:
• Mechanical and industrial equipment design
• Process equipment and pressure vessel design
• Hydro-mechanical equipment and hydraulic systems
• Penstock, piping, hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic power packs, gates, structures, mechanical components, and assemblies
• 3D parametric CAD modeling and detailed fabrication drawings
• BOM development and management
• BIM and Digital Engineering, including multidisciplinary coordination and clash detection
• FEA and CFD analysis
• PLC, HMI, SCADA, instrumentation, and mechanical automation
• Engineering calculations, design verification, and technical documentation
• Manufacturing, fabrication, installation, maintenance, and field engineering
I have worked across industrial, infrastructure, and process applications, combining engineering design with practical manufacturing and site experience. This allows me to develop designs that are not only technically correct, but also practical to manufacture, assemble, install, operate, and maintain.
In addition to engineering and design, I have experience in project management, site management, contract administration, coordination with clients and contractors, technical problem-solving, and project execution.
I can work from specifications, existing drawings, sketches, point clouds, site measurements, or incomplete technical information and develop them into accurate, professional, and manufacturable engineering solutions.
My approach is engineering-driven, detail-oriented, and practical: understand the requirement, develop the right technical solution, verify the design, and deliver documentation that can be taken directly into fabrication or execution.
