About
I am a Mechanical Engineering student at Stellenbosch University with two years of freelance experience in mechanical design, product development, CAD, electronics, and prototyping. Proficient in SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, KiCad, and Visual Studio Code, with practical manufacturing experience gained through work with both a metalworking company and a 3D-printing factory.
I am willing to work for low cost as I am trying to further my work experience portfolio and will only take payment after work has been completed to your satisfaction.
Recent projects include the development of an electromagnetic broom for metal-workshop cleanup and a low-cost CNC plasma cutter designed with a target cost of under $100 which will soon be commercially viable. Furthermore I also work on many software projects such as video generation pipelines, AI intergration and machine learning.
