About
I’m a Mechanical Design Engineer with a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, specializing in CAD, product development, FEA and composite structures.
I work mainly with SolidWorks and Abaqus, developing 3D models, technical drawings, mechanical components and structural analyses. I also have hands-on experience with composite materials, prototyping, mold design and manufacturing processes.
My experience includes projects in the marine sector, such as recreational boat structures, hydrofoil components and carbon-fiber composite parts.
I can help with:
3D CAD modeling and mechanical design
Technical drawings and manufacturing documentation
Structural analysis and FEA
Composite component design
Product development and prototyping
Design for CNC machining and 3D printing
I focus on practical, manufacturable and technically sound engineering solutions.
