    Coding powerful macro for repetitive task. Full of techniques and tricks in drawing and coding macro, and always think out of the box to get best result. Known as 'Anjaz'. “Once again, Anjaz has done a spectacular job. This is the third or fourth time we've used him for Corel Macros and every time has gone above and beyond to get us a GREAT product. Very, Very quick responses and as always, comes up with even better features that I originally was looking for. If Anjaz has submitted a proposal for your job STOP NOW and hire him! I don't even do RFP's anymore for macros... I go straight to Anjaz!” — newwiremarine “Anjaz continues to play a pivotal role in the graphic design work at our company. ” “Anjaz has transformed our graphic design department. ” — BissellBrothersBrew Dec 2014 - Jan 2015 - CorelDRAW macro to auto-generate drawings I rarely give full 5 start ratings b/c there is always room to improve. I am an American business owner, and have used elance extensively. Anjez is the BEST find I've had on here. I've used him for multiple projects and anything corelDRAW or macro related I go STRAIGHT to him. He is incredible with corel (and I've got VERY good people on my staff). He is an excellent macro programmer, and does things I never knew were possible. On several projects he has gone above and beyond to understand by business "need" (not just completing the requirements I out line in the RFP) and has designed innovative solutions to meet the need much more than I could have even described in an RFQ. He makes things very clear with detailed "operating manuals" essentially, and even videos showing how to use his macros. This is the longest feedback I've every written b/c I truly appreciate his efforts. You're probably reading this b/c he has given you a proposal... if so... look no further, AWARD HIM YOUR JOB! Thanks for the excellent support Anjez!! Jan 2015 - Corel Draw x7 Macro WOW same day delivery! Super fast communication and very friendly! Will use again for my macro needs! Dec 2014 -CorelDraw X6 VBA macro If you need macros for CorelDraw ask Anjaz. Nov 2014 - Dec 2014- Cutout Name Necklace design generator Excellent work and follow up. I will absolutely work with Anjaz again. Oct 2014 - Need a VBA Macro created in CorelDraw X7 Anjaz was great to work with. He is definitely very knowledgeable in CorelDraw Macros, as he was able to get us exactly what we needed to streamline some of our processes! I would highly recommend him to anyone! Oct 2014 - Coreldraw x7 Macro Exactly what we needed! Completed the job in less time than we expected. Sep 2014 - VBA Macro for CorelDraw x7 In one word, outstanding. Has surpassed all my expectations. Will definitely work on a recurring basis with Anjaz. Jul 2014 - Corel Draw VBA Script Automation Excellent service on every level! Jul 2014 - Create a macro in Coreldraw X6 Anjaz turned around my macro creation job in an amazingly quick time. The final work was excellent and exactly what I wanted. I have no hesitation in recommending his skills and will be back in time to ask him to work for me again. Five star service! May 2014 - Jun 2014 - Image creation script easy to communicate, quick delivery and great support :) Apr 2014 - Image editing - CorelDRAW template design Very impressed. EXCELLENT skills in CorelDRAW. Only person that took my requirement and actually proposed a feature I didn't even know existed within corel. This elancer read my RFP, and thought out of the box, proposing a solution that will greatly enhance my business for years to come. Very responsive (like within an hour) to every single question. I was the only person keeping this project from being done within a day I'd guess. Not the cheapest proposal but worth every dollar b/c of all the added value. Thank you! Jul 2013 - Corel Draw X5 Batch processor Worked very diligently with me on this project and it was finished to high expectations. Came out with many more capabilities than was originally requested. Have another project that this one led into and am rehiring. Very pleased and would highly recommend.

    As a Manufacturing Engineer, my duties are to design not only the parts that customers need, but also, help optimize the part design, prototype the design, create detailed blueprints for manufacturing and even design the injection mold tools that will produce the parts in mass. After the design is started, I collect all information to assist with the part designing process. I create the preliminary part design then work with the customers to make any adjustments that may be needed. Through this time I 3d print prototypes if needed to send to the client. We then have a final review to make sure the design is functioning and cost effective for manufacturing processes. Once the design is approved, I can design the injection mold tool if needed. I can help to source manufacturing and offer consulting for any questions through the entire process. For some customers I program the CNC mills and lathes in order to produce every component needed to make the parts or injection mold tools. At my full time job I work doing all of the same things from above, We design parts, and injection molds, build the molds then run them all in house. After the first run we verify all dimensions are within tolerance make any changes needed then start production. I have designed many molds that are being used for 5-10 year+ contracts making automotive parts, aerospace, military and defense, government contracts, medical etc. I have 15 years of experience in 3d modeling, concept design, part design, 3d printing and rapid prototyping, CNC programming and much more. I'm proficient in Solidworks, AutoCAD, Camworks, Fusion 360, Inventor and many other programs used to design parts. I'm taking online classes for Manufacturing Engineering at Sinclair Community College in my spare time. I have the following certifications for SolidWorks and Camworks: Associate- Mechanical Design (CSWA) Associate- Additive Manufacturing (CSWA-AM) Professional- Mechanical Design (CSWP) Professional- Advanced Mold Making (CSWP-AMM) Professional- Advanced Surfacing (CSWP-AS) Professional- Advanced Drawing Tools (CSWP-DT) 14 Camworks certifications 112 SolidWorks certifications (continuing education from 2010-present) If I can help assist in any CAD designs, product designs, CNC programming,3d printing/ prototyping, product rendering, manufacturing, sourcing, reverse engineering, injection mold design, 3d printing or anything else please reach out as I'd love to see if I can help.
