About
Mechanical CAD designer with 7 years in manufacturing, including 2 years at Güntner S.A. (German multinational, HVAC-R) working on industrial condensers and evaporators for freon, ammonia and glycol systems — 3D modeling, 2D fabrication detailing and technical datasheet verification.
Before that, process engineering at Legrand do Brasil (French multinational): work instructions, line balancing and time studies on the shop floor. That background means I model with manufacturing in mind — how the part is actually cut, bent, welded and assembled.
What I deliver: 3D models, fabrication-ready 2D drawings, sheet metal flat patterns with DXF for laser and punching, bills of materials, and reverse engineering from samples or measurements. My models are built parametrically, so a dimensional change updates the assembly and the drawings instead of forcing a remodel — revisions are fast and cheap.
I deliver in STEP, STL, DWG/DXF and PDF, so you can open and edit the files on whatever platform you use.
English B2 (goFLUENT certified). Based in Brazil, available across US and European time zones.
