About
I am a Mechanical Design Engineer with 20+ years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, manufacturing, machining, repair technology, and technical problem-solving.
I help clients turn complex mechanical problems and early concepts into practical, manufacturable solutions. My work combines engineering judgement with real workshop experience — from concept development and SolidWorks 3D CAD to assemblies, manufacturing drawings, BOMs, prototype-ready documentation, and design-for-manufacturing reviews.
My core areas of expertise include:
Mechanical parts, assemblies, mechanisms, and machine components
Special tools, fixtures, jigs, repair tooling, and workshop equipment
SolidWorks part and assembly modeling
Manufacturing drawings, assembly drawings, and technical documentation
Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFM/DFA)
Prototype development and practical design optimization
Reverse engineering and redesign of existing mechanical components
Metalworking, machining, repair technology, and service-oriented engineering solutions
I have developed and implemented specialized repair tools and technologies for diesel fuel systems, damaged threads, broken fasteners, glow plugs, and high-pressure Common Rail test equipment. I have also designed machining fixtures, mechanical devices, prototype assemblies, and components for automotive and industrial applications.
My goal is not simply to create a 3D model. I deliver designs that consider how parts will be made, assembled, used, maintained, and improved in the real world.
I work with clear communication, defined deliverables, and a practical engineering approach from the first concept to production-ready documentation. Cad Crowd recommends keeping profiles concise, client-focused, accurate, and consistent with the skills and portfolio shown elsewhere in the account.

Founder | Mechanical Design & Technical Service Specialist
Self-Employed · Full-time
Mar 2019 –
Dec 2025
6 yrs 9 mos
Kyiv, Ukraine
Founded and managed an independent technical service business specializing in diesel fuel-injection systems, mechanical repair technology, specialized tooling, and workshop operations.
Combined hands-on technical work with mechanical problem-solving, tool development, supplier sourcing, customer communication, workflow management, and quality control.
Key work included:
Diagnosis, repair, and service of diesel fuel-injection equipment for passenger vehicles, trucks, and special-purpose machinery.
Development and implementation of repair technologies for unit injectors, PLD pump sections, Common Rail injectors, Common Rail high-pressure pumps, and mechanical injection pumps.
Design and manufacture of specialized repair tools, fixtures, extraction tools, adapters, and workshop equipment.
Development and long-term commercial use of a thread-repair technology for damaged threads of different diameters.
Development of a method and specialized tooling for removing broken glow plugs without cylinder-head removal, including difficult-access applications.
Design and manufacture of tubular cutting tools for removing broken M6, M8, and M10 fasteners from aluminium automotive housings, followed by thread restoration using threaded inserts.
Development and implementation of a 5-micron high-pressure filter assembly for a Common Rail test-bench fuel system, rated for operating pressures up to 2,500 bar.
Technical sourcing of pumps, valves, replacement parts, tools, and workshop consumables.
This experience shaped my practical engineering approach: a design must be manufacturable, assembly-friendly, serviceable, reliable, and suitable for real workshop conditions.
