About
I’m a Mechanical Design Engineer based in Cork, Ireland, with over four years’ experience designing heavy machinery and rope-driven systems for the port-crane industry.
I specialise in SolidWorks 3D modelling, fabrication and assembly drawings, AutoCAD detailing, and mechanical system layouts. My focus is on accuracy, manufacturability, and quick turnaround—every drawing I deliver is ready for the shop floor.
I’ve led complete design packages for gearboxes, drums, couplings, and structural components up to 500 kW drive capacity. Whether you need a full 3D assembly, a set of workshop drawings, or a design review, I can deliver reliable, production-ready results on time and to standard.
