I help businesses and creators solve 3D problems quickly and cleanly. Whether you need a product render, optimized model, photo turned into 3D asset, or visuals that help sell an idea, I focus on practical results that look professional and meet deadlines. My background blends 3D modeling, rendering, product visualization, and graphic design, which means I understand both the asset itself and how it needs to be presented. I’ve worked on product catalogs, marketing visuals, environments, props, and custom client requests where accuracy matters. Easy to work with, detail-focused, and adaptable to different styles. If you need someone who can step in, understand the goal fast, and deliver polished visuals, I’m here to help.

Hello and welcome to my profile! I’m a mechanical engineering student specializing in CAD design, FEA simulations, and prototype development. I help clients turn ideas into clear 3D models, engineering drawings, and 3D-printable parts using SolidWorks and ANSYS. Recently I’ve designed and prototyped a circular-correction mechanism for industrial aerospace rings, studied vibration and thermal behaviour of an automotive brake disc, and created several functional assemblies and housings ready for fabrication. Here’s what I can help you with: * 3D modeling of parts and assemblies from sketches, photos, or ideas * Manufacturing-ready drawings with dimensions and basic GD&T * STL/STEP files for 3D printing and CNC machining * Basic FEA (static, modal, and simple thermal) to validate designs * Fast communication, clear documentation, and revisions until you’re satisfied If you need a reliable, detail-oriented CAD designer for student, hobby, or entry-level industry projects, I’d be glad to work with you.

I build interactive 3D web experiences end-to-end — Three.js, WebGL, React, full-stack — for clients who need browser-based 3D done right. Most teams either subcontract the 3D out to specialists (slow, expensive) or hand a 3D file to a generic React dev (looks bad). I'm the rare combo: 10+ years in Blender + production full-stack JavaScript engineering. One person, one timeline, one accountable point of contact. ▶ What I Build 🌐 Interactive 3D Web Applications ▸ Real-time multiplayer experiences (Three.js + WebSocket) ▸ Product configurators, virtual showrooms, training simulators ▸ Custom WebGL and shader work ▸ Cross-device support, performance-tuned for production 💻 Full-Stack Web Applications & SaaS ▸ React, TypeScript, Node.js, real-time data sync ▸ Auth, subscriptions, payments, OAuth integrations ▸ Postgres / Supabase, cloud deployment ▸ From MVP to production-ready platform ✔ Architect with 9+ years at a Fortune 15 company 🎨 3D Assets Built for the Web ▸ Models, animations, and exports purpose-built for browser delivery ▸ Optimized GLB/GLTF, Draco compression, texture budgets ▸ Mixamo / Rokoko motion capture integration when characters are needed 🔧 Custom Blender Tools (Python) ▸ Automation scripts and addons for studios with repetitive pipeline work ▸ Custom export tools, batch processing, integration with non-Blender systems ▸ Tools that save your team hours per project ▶ Recent Shipped Work ▸ A Blender plugin for navigation-grid generation and game-ready map export ▸ A Blender lip-sync plugin with both cloud and local TTS engine support ▸ A real-time multiplayer virtual tabletop built in Three.js + WebSocket (Masterwork Campaign Workshop) ▸ A conversational 3D avatar widget with TTS, viseme-synced lip sync, and embedded lead capture. If you need interactive 3D on the web, I can build the whole thing — design through deployment.
