About
I've spent more than eight years inside a working copper processing plant at Mirador Mine in Ecuador. I started as a mechanic and worked my way up to Maintenance Workshop Manager, and today I lead a team of 111 people who keep crushers, grinding mills and the rest of the plant running.
That means I design with the shop floor in mind. I know what a part has to survive once it's installed in a crushing or grinding circuit, and I make sure my drawings can actually be built and maintained.
I can help you with:
- 3D models and assemblies in SolidWorks and Inventor
- Fabrication and shop drawings in AutoCAD
- ANSYS stress checks on frames, supports, chutes and wear parts
- Conveyors, chutes and bulk material handling equipment
- Redesigning or modeling spare parts for crushers and mills
I'm in Ecuador (UTC-5), so my working day lines up with US clients. I answer quickly and keep my files clean and easy to hand over.
