About

With over 14 years of hands-on automotive die engineering and tool checking experience, I specialize in delivering high-precision 3D CAD modeling, mechanical drafting, and custom product development through True Scale Designs. My core skillsets include advanced sheet body modeling in Siemens NX and SolidWorks 2022, CNC data preparation, blank nesting, and tight-tolerance quality assurance for complex tooling. Backed by formal Die Maker trade coursework and ongoing engineering degree studies with an electrical engineering minor at Indiana Tech, I bridge practical shop-floor tooling expertise with advanced drafting techniques to produce accurate, cost-effective, and manufacturing-ready designs.
