About
I’m a mechanical engineering student at the University of Texas at Arlington with a strong interest in mechanical design, product development, and hands-on engineering work.
My background includes several years of experience working on real mechanical design projects, including CAD modeling, manufacturing drawings, reverse engineering, 3D scan workflows, sheet metal and weldment design, FEA review, prototyping, and product release support. I’ve had the chance to work on components that move beyond class projects and into real manufacturing, fitment, testing, and revision cycles.
What I enjoy most is the process of turning an idea into a part that can actually be built and used. I like working through packaging constraints, material choices, manufacturing limitations, and prototype feedback until the design becomes practical.
I’m currently looking for part-time engineering opportunities in mechanical design, product development, CAD, manufacturing support, or R&D while I continue my mechanical engineering degree.

Design and develop aftermarket mechanical components and assemblies, including brake, clutch, pedal, steering, and
chassis-related systems for classic and modern vehicle applications.
Create 3D CAD models, assemblies, manufacturing drawings, sheet metal components, weldments, and prototypeready designs using Autodesk Inventor.
Support prototype development through hands-on fitment checks, vehicle packaging reviews, design revisions, and
coordination with manufacturing/fabrication methods.
Perform engineering calculations and Inventor Nastran FEA simulations to evaluate strength, stiffness, load paths,
localized stresses, and design safety margins.
Use reverse engineering and 3D scan/mesh reference workflows to develop parts around existing geometry and
improve product fitment.
Manage engineering documentation, revision tracking, part numbering, Autodesk Vault organization, and assist
product release workflows.
Designed, prototyped, and released 6 new bespoke products to market with active sales.
