About
My interests include 3D printing, 3D scanning, machining, laser cutting and engraving, jewelry design and casting, and digital modeling, using tools such as SolidWorks and Blender to create, modify, repair, and prepare models for physical production. I enjoy the entire process, from capturing or creating a model to mesh repair, print preparation, finishing, sanding, and painting.
I'm also passionate about building and modifying computers, working with electronics, restoring vintage hardware, metal art and creating custom projects that combine hardware, software, and fabrication. Past projects have included building a custom retro gaming computer with a 3D-printed enclosure and integrating electronics into custom-built equipment.
My other interests include woodworking, custom fabrication, model building, collectible restoration, and experimenting with different manufacturing and finishing techniques. I enjoy learning new tools and processes, figuring out how things work, and finding ways to repair, improve, or build things rather than simply replacing them.
I'm comfortable learning unfamiliar software, researching technical problems, working through complicated projects independently, and seeing a project through from concept to finished result. I take pride in craftsmanship, attention to detail, and finding practical solutions to challenging problems.

Mechanical Design Engineer | SolidWorks CSWP | Product Development & Manufacturing
I am a CSWP-certified mechanical engineer with hands-on experience in mechanical design, product development, prototyping, and manufacturing. I specialize in turning concepts and ideas into practical, manufacturable designs, from individual components to complex mechanical assemblies.
My background combines CAD design with real-world manufacturing experience, including machining, fabrication, assembly, and design for manufacturability. I understand that a good design needs to do more than look right on a screen. It needs to work as intended, be practical to manufacture, and fit into the final assembly.
Services I offer include:
SolidWorks 3D part modeling and mechanical assemblies
Engineering drawings and manufacturing documentation
Design modifications and CAD file cleanup
Reverse engineering of existing parts
Product development and prototype design
Design for manufacturability (DFM)
Mechanical problem-solving and custom component design
I take a practical, detail-oriented approach to every project, with an emphasis on accuracy, functionality, and clear communication.
Whether you need an existing design refined, a physical part recreated in CAD, or help developing a product from an initial concept, I can help turn your requirements into a workable engineering solution.
My goal is to deliver quality work that meets your requirements and gives you a reliable foundation for manufacturing or prototyping.
