About
As a freelance design engineer with more than 10 years of experience, I turn initial ideas into functional, manufacturing-ready products. I support the entire development process - from early concepts and detailed CAD design to technical documentation, prototyping, testing, and preparation for serial production.
I have extensive professional experience with SolidWorks and am also proficient in Fusion 360 and Onshape. Thanks to my hands-on background in machining, fabrication, prototyping, and assembly, I consider manufacturability and ease of assembly from the very beginning. My approach is practical, precise, and focused on developing reliable solutions that work just as well in production as they do in CAD.
