About
Professional Industrial Designer & CAD Engineer | Product Development & DFM Specialist
I am a passionate Industrial Designer and CAD Engineer dedicated to transforming complex concepts into functional, manufacturing-ready products. With a strong background in sheet metal fabrication, structural steel, consumer products, and mechanical design, I bridge the gap between creative design and real-world production.
Core Skillsets & Expertise:
Advanced CAD Modeling & Technical Drawings: Proficient in SolidWorks and AutoCAD for complex 3D parametric modeling, large assemblies, surfacing, and high-precision 2D production drawings (DXF, DWG, STEP, IGES).
Design for Manufacturing (DFM/DFA): Specialized in optimizing parts for CNC laser cutting, plasma cutting, press brake bending, roll forming, welding, and plastic injection/3D printing.
Product Development & Prototyping: End-to-end design process, including initial sketching, ergonomics, tolerance stack-up analysis, Bill of Materials (BOM) creation, and prototyping validation.
Visual Communication: High-impact 3D rendering and product visualization for client presentations, marketing, and investor pitches.
What I Deliver to Clients:
Production-ready digital files optimized to lower manufacturing costs and material waste.
Clear technical documentation and seamless communication throughout the project lifecycle.
Fast turnaround times with strict adherence to engineering standards.
Let's collaborate to bring your hardware, enclosure, or industrial design ideas to life!

Poxindeje, Hgo., Mexico
During my tenure at Rolacero Multiprocesos (May 2024 – Oct 2025), I led industrial design and mechanical engineering projects focused on custom sheet metal fabrication, structural steel components, and advanced manufacturing processes. My role bridged the gap between initial client concepts and production-ready manufacturing files, ensuring technical feasibility, cost efficiency, and structural integrity.
Key Responsibilities & Core Expertise:
3D Modeling & Technical Detailing: Developed complex 3D CAD models, assemblies, and high-precision 2D production drawings (DXF/DWG/STEP) using SolidWorks and AutoCAD. Specialized in sheet metal flat patterns, bend allowances, and tolerance analysis.
Design for Manufacturing (DFM & DFA): Optimized parts and assemblies for CNC laser cutting, plasma cutting, press brake bending, roll forming, and welding processes. Reduced material waste and production cycles by refining geometries and nesting layouts.
Prototyping & Product Development: Collaborated closely with shop floor technicians and machine operators to prototype, validate, and troubleshoot custom metal components before full-scale fabrication.
BOM & Documentation: Created detailed Bills of Materials (BOM), manufacturing routing sheets, and technical documentation to streamline supply chain and workshop workflows.
Key Achievements:
Successfully delivered high-accuracy CAD models for diverse industrial sectors, minimizing rework and scrap rates on the production floor.
Standardized sheet metal design templates and fabrication guidelines, accelerating quote turnarounds and design approval times for clients.
My experience at Rolacero equips me to offer top-tier freelance CAD modeling, sheet metal design, DFM optimization, and manufacturing-ready drawing packages for global clients
