Christopher R.

I'm a mechanical and automation engineer with hands-on experience designing machines, fixtures, tooling, and manufacturing equipment. My background includes medical device production, pharmaceutical automation, and product testing. I earned my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Clarkson University.

I work in SolidWorks and handle both the mechanical and controls sides of a project, including PLC programming, HMI development, and electrical and pneumatic systems. I led a 24-station automated assembly machine project that cut cycle time in half. My experience also includes designing and building test equipment and developing custom automation equipment.

That experience shapes how I approach CAD work: I think about how a design will be manufactured, assembled, operated, and maintained. Through CDworks, I can help with fixtures, machine components, CAD models, drawings, and technical documentation. Small, clearly defined projects are welcome.
