About

I am a Senior Design Engineer with over 9 years of experience in mechanical design, specializing in sheet metal and plastic component design for production and manufacturing. I have strong expertise in CAD tools such as SolidWorks, CATIA V5, UG-NX, and AutoCAD, with hands-on experience in 3D modeling, parametric design, and detailed engineering drawings.

I have worked on a wide range of projects including automotive components, heavy engineering products, fire truck assemblies, signage systems, and industrial sheet metal parts. My core skills include GD&T, BOM creation, design optimization, remastering CAD models, and converting 2D drawings into fully functional 3D assemblies.

I am experienced in working with international clients, handling project discussions, and delivering high-quality designs within deadlines. I also have a good understanding of DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly), ensuring practical and cost-effective design solutions.

I am committed to delivering accurate, efficient, and production-ready designs that meet client requirements and industry standards.
