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.

Lead mechanical engineer responsible for the design, development, and standardisation of hoist and derrick rope drive systems for ship-to-shore (STS) cranes.
• Manage complete system design from concept through to production, including drums, couplings, brakes, and gear interfaces.
• Develop and maintain detailed 3D models, fabrication drawings, and assembly documentation in SolidWorks and AutoCAD.
• Conduct calculations for rope tensions, load paths, drum geometry, slip, inertia, and gearbox sizing to EN 13001 and FEM 1.001 standards.
• Coordinate with electrical, hydraulic, and automation teams to ensure full mechanical integration.
• Lead hoist gear standardisation project, reducing unique component counts by 90% and cutting design hours from 150 →
