About
I am a Mechatronics Engineer and Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional (CSWP) specializing in Design for Manufacturing (DFM), functional prototyping, and electro-mechanical integration. I transform concepts into production-ready CAD models, ensuring strict tolerances for CNC machining, FDM/Resin 3D printing, and injection molding. My expertise bridges the gap between mechanical design and hardware architecture, allowing me to engineer custom enclosures, deployable mechanisms, and robotic chassis that perfectly accommodate complex multi-layer PCBs and sensor arrays. I don't just draw in 3D; I engineer parts designed to perform on the shop floor and in the real world.
