### CNC Programmer | CAD Designer | Prototype Machinist | Manufacturing Specialist

I am an experienced machinist, CNC programmer, and CAD designer with a strong background in precision machining, mechanical design, and manufacturing. My experience combines hands-on shop knowledge with CAD/CAM capabilities, allowing me to develop practical designs that are both functional and manufacturable.

I specialize in 3D CAD modeling, mechanical components, CNC programming, prototype development, and design for manufacturability (DFM). I work with software including Autodesk Fusion 360, BobCAD-CAM, and ViaCAD to create accurate models, technical drawings, and manufacturing-ready files.

My hands-on experience with CNC milling machines, manual machining, welding, and fabrication gives me a practical understanding of materials, tolerances, machining processes, and manufacturing challenges. I understand the importance of designing parts that can be produced efficiently, accurately, and cost-effectively.

**My capabilities include:**
- 3D CAD modeling and mechanical part design
- 2D technical drawings and manufacturing documentation
- CNC programming and CAM toolpath development
- Prototype design and product development
- Design for manufacturability (DFM)
- Reverse engineering from existing parts, sketches, or drawings
- STEP, STL, DXF, and other CAD file formats
- Machined components, fixtures, tooling, and custom mechanical assemblies
- CNC machining, welding, and fabrication knowledge

I value clear communication, attention to detail, and delivering designs that work in the real world.
