About

Mechanical CAD designer with professional experience in industrial mechanical design, 3D assemblies, technical drawings and manufacturable mechanical components.

I am particularly interested in expanding my experience in machine design, industrial automation and mechanical systems, with a focus on:

• Machine design and mechanical subassemblies
• Jigs, fixtures and production equipment
• Industrial automation equipment
• Mechanical mechanisms and motion systems
• Linear motion applications
• Material handling and conveying systems
• Mechanical structures and supports
• Design for manufacturing
• 3D CAD modelling and technical drawings

I am especially interested in projects where a mechanical solution must be developed from functional requirements, dimensional constraints and commercially available components, with the goal of creating practical, manufacturable and reliable designs.

To maintain a clear separation from my current professional activity and avoid potential conflicts of interest, I am available only for projects outside the Oil & Gas, fireproofing and valve-to-actuator mounting-kit sectors.

I do not accept assignments involving Oil & Gas equipment, fireproofing systems, valve-to-actuator mounting kits or directly related applications.

Any freelance work is carried out independently, using personal resources and without using proprietary information, drawings, designs, documentation or other confidential material belonging to my employer.
