About
I am a Senior Mechanical Designer with over 18 years of professional experience using PTC Creo (formerly Pro/ENGINEER), specializing in mechanical design, 3D parametric modeling, complex assemblies, and manufacturing documentation.
Throughout my career, I have progressed from Senior Draftsman, producing detailed 2D drawings and technical illustrations, to Senior Mechanical Designer, developing sophisticated mechanical components, assemblies, and complete systems.
My experience includes aerospace and defense applications, full-system illustrations for military technical manuals, custom test equipment, precision fixtures, electronic enclosures, and mechanical interfaces. I have also developed specialized 3D printing methods for MIL-DTL-38999-style connector components and designed custom test interface adapters for military aircraft applications.
**My areas of expertise include:**
- PTC Creo 3D parametric modeling and assemblies
- Mechanical design and product development
- 2D CAD drafting and manufacturing drawings
- STEP file creation, modification, and conversion
- Reverse engineering and component redesign
- Custom fixtures, brackets, enclosures, and test equipment
- Design for manufacturing and assembly
- 3D printing, functional prototyping, and design optimization
- Technical illustrations and mechanical documentation
I enjoy solving challenging mechanical problems, whether developing a complete assembly from concept or making a simple modification to an existing design.
My focus is delivering accurate, practical, and manufacturable solutions that meet each client's requirements.
