I am a Mechanical Design and Engineering professional with over 17 years of experience in industrial valve design, product development, steel castings, machining, fabrication, assembly, and quality assurance.

I specialize in ball, butterfly, gate, globe, check, plug, and special-purpose valves for the oil and gas, LNG, power, petrochemical, and water industries. My experience includes design calculations, 3D modelling, manufacturing drawings, GD&T, tolerance analysis, design verification, material selection, technical documentation, supplier development, and inspection planning.

My key capabilities include:

-SolidWorks and AutoCAD modelling and drafting
-Valve design in accordance with API, ASME, and ISO standards
-Casting, machining, welding, and fabrication review
-Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA)
-GD&T and tolerance-stack analysis
-BOM preparation and engineering documentation
-Technical drawing and specification review
-Failure analysis, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions
-Supplier technical evaluation and quality development
-Product development from enquiry review through final testing

I can support clients with complete mechanical design solutions, CAD modelling, drawing preparation, design calculations, manufacturability reviews, technical documentation, and independent engineering verification. I focus on producing accurate, practical, standards-compliant deliverables that can be directly used for manufacturing and inspection.
