About
Mechanical Design Engineer with experience in production-oriented engineering and CAD concept development. I combine technical ideas, thoughtful product form, and practical mechanical design.
My background includes electronic equipment, retail fixtures, sheet-metal and aluminium structures, and manufacturing tooling. My primary tools are SolidWorks and KOMPAS-3D. I develop 3D models, assemblies, engineering drawings, and bills of materials, including documentation compliant with ESKD standards.
A particular focus is developing concepts for robots and mechanical devices in SolidWorks: exploring design solutions, defining mechanical layouts, and arranging components and subassemblies. My manufacturing experience helps me approach a concept not just as a visual presentation, but as a foundation for further engineering development.
I prioritise manufacturability, ease of assembly, serviceability, and clear technical documentation. I have worked remotely on engineering projects since 2017.
I am interested in projects at the intersection of mechanical engineering, robotics, and industrial design, contributing from initial ideas and CAD concepts through to detailed mechanical design. Open to remote roles and project-based collaboration, working on Moscow time (UTC+3).

My experience spans mechanical design, 3D modelling, and the preparation of manufacturing documentation. Since 2006, I have held mechanical engineering roles, including Chief Design Engineer. Since 2017, I have worked remotely on a project basis.
Mechanical Design for Manufacturing
I have worked on retail fixtures, sheet-metal and aluminium structures, façade components, and mechanical components for electronic equipment. My responsibilities included designing parts and assemblies, preparing engineering drawings and bills of materials in accordance with ESKD standards, and developing designs with manufacturing and assembly requirements in mind.
Tooling and Production Support
I have experience designing foundry and heat-treatment tooling, as well as coordinating production activities. This background helps me account for manufacturing constraints during the design stage rather than addressing them only after documentation reaches the workshop.
Parametric Modelling and Material Estimation
I have developed parametric models and solutions for calculating material requirements. In one project, this helped reduce quotation preparation time by 30%.
CAD and Visualisation
My primary tools are SolidWorks and KOMPAS-3D. I have also worked with Inventor, Creo, AutoCAD, and Fusion 360. My 3D visualisation experience allows me to present design solutions clearly and explain how a product is structured to clients.
My key strength is the combination of spatial reasoning, manufacturing experience, and detailed CAD development skills. I am particularly interested in projects that go beyond modelling—finding practical mechanical solutions, developing component layouts, and establishing a solid foundation for further product development.
