    I’m Kevin. I design things. Over the last ten years I have taken over twenty commercial products from concept to manufacture while navigating startup challenges along the way. I am “practical” above all else. A team player and easy to communicate with, I am able to take rough concepts and deliver them as working products or prototypes with minimal cost and hassle. My specialty is electronic hardware design, though most projects involve physical or mechanical parts as well. This is my full time job, working from my dedicated workshop near Portland, Oregon. I have in-house capability for most aspects of bringing up new designs and fabricating one-off devices or prototypes. We have high resolution SLA 3D printing (UV resin), a large 4x8’ production CNC machine suitable for plastics and most aluminum, and plenty of bench/floor space for your project. I have relationships with various local machine shops and test labs, so extra support is convenient if needed. I work in Altium Designer for schematic and PCB board layout, and use Solidworks or Autodesk Fusion for physical component design and working with complex physical assemblies. I have designed many injection molded parts, stamped metal parts, etc. Many of my products involve radio so I’m familiar with the FCC test lab process for both module based radios and custom designs. I have designed Internet of Things IoT products, wireless mesh networking, and low cost proprietary point to point radios. I am intermediate level coding on small 8 to 32 bit microprocessors in C,C++. My code is extremely "human readable" and cleanly documented. I have solid experience with Mircochip PIC processors, Atmel, STM32, and MSP430. I have written several low level handlers for custom board hardware and protocols. If you’re looking for a competent person that is easy and reliable to work with, and who will handle your project as if it were their own, let’s chat and see what happens. Electronics: -Embedded Hardware Design -PCB Circuit Board Design -Low-level Microprocessor Coding, C, C++, Python -Radio Wireless Communications and Certification -Internet of Things, IoT, Mesh Networking, Zigbee -Robotics -Automation -Short Run PCB Assembly -Prototyping and Test Fixtures (in house) -Reverse Engineering, Proprietary Protocols -Testing, Debugging, Product Validation Mechanical: -Solidworks -Autodesk Inventor / Fusion360 -Complex Assembly Design -Process, Testing, and Assembly Fixtures -Injection Molding -High Resolution SLA 3D Printing (in house) -CNC Machining (in house) -Industrial Processing Fixtures -Plastics Fabrication (Tanks, Jigs, Wet Processing, etc.) -Rapid Prototypes and 3D Printing for Industrial Parts -Moving Parts, Gearing, Bearings, etc. Support Services: -Connections with Contract Manufacturers -Crowdfunding, I've raised approx $400k via Kickstarter, Indiegogo -Relationships with Asian and China Manufacturers -Injection Molding & Stamped Metal Parts from Asia -Patent Experience (I hold 7 Patents)

    I am an enthusiastic, Denver based mechanical engineer with an extensive background in design for manufacturing and the appropriate use of additive manufacturing technology. With over 13 years of industry experience, I'm passionate about designing exceptional and innovative products. Before I started freelancing, I was a Sr. Mechanical Engineer at Aleph Objects and worked with a multidisciplinary team to produce several award winning 3D printers and accessories. Following that, I launched my own brand and line of niche products in the industrial 3D printing space, gaining experience with brand communication, crowdfunding and small scale production management. As a freelancer, I've had the opportunity to work with some fantastic clients producing everything from EV chargers and home battery systems to fitness equipment, college courses and medical devices. I run a small print farm in house for prototyping, including resin and oversized material extrusion printers. This helps reduce prototyping costs, speeds up the development process and allows the fastest iteration time possible when needed. Here are some of the services I offer: - Design Conceptualization (early stage sketches and ideation) - 3D Design - Photorealistic Product Renderings - Manufacturing Documentation *Bill of Materials (BoM) * 2D Drawings * Material and Manufacturing Method Advice * Tech Packs - Electronics Prototyping - Product Prototyping - Small Batch Production - Contract 3D Printing

    OVERVIEW: I’m a practical hands-on engineer, by degree, and imaginative to a fault by natural inclination. I have broad and deep design and manufacturing experience with a variety of end products, including but not limited to medical devices, high-end audio electronics, and musical instruments. I also have a great deal of personal experience with building & construction, and with hydraulic systems. — — — — — — — — — — — — MY 1st PRIORITY: I could bore you to death with my expertise in creative ideation, complex 3D modeling, 3D printing, plastic injection molding, sheet metal, materials, mechanisms, stepper motors, fixtures, arduino systems, and fabrication with fabrics & foams. I could brag that my work has been exhibited at MoMA (really, see portfolio). But I'm much more interested in hearing what YOU are up to, and to see if I can help with YOUR project — because over time I've learned that successful collaboration is the best reward. — — — — — — — — — — — — SKILLS AND ORIENTATION: SKILLS (design-wise): Very good 3D CAD chops (Creo, Solidworks, Blender). Lots of complex and successful modeling, injection molding, and various other manufacturing examples to show & tell about, including arduino microcontroller system design. SKILLS (prototype-wise): My particular standout talent seems to be the ability to make, fix, find, and/or modify almost anything needed, really fast, with my own hands and minimal equipment. With my FDM and SLA printers, there isn't much I can't do. Probably faster and cheaper than is usually expected. If needed, I can sew fairly well too. — — — — — — — — — — — — WORK STYLE: Many people I've worked with have called me "MacGyver" because at some critical point in a project they came to understand the unusual value I usually bring to whatever the particular task. My default mode is usually to do most everything myself, but I've recently found it's even better to work with like-minded collaborators — which is why I'm looking for interesting projects to help with on Upwork. My guess is that if you've read this far, you are potentially a like-minded collaborator. Let's talk and find out! — — — — — — — — — — — —

    I'm a Columbia-educated Mechanical Engineer with 7+ years experience in product design, CAD modeling, and 3D printing/rapid prototyping. I've designed and built a wide array of products including wearables, tools, manufacturing robots, and medical devices. My products are focused on creating a positive user experience using data-driven/consumer research-driven design and innovative manufacturing techniques. I am happy to work with you to develop a product in any stage of its existence, whether you want me to design something from scratch or simply need me to help you with one small aspect of a design project. I also have extensive experience in project/people management in the startup industry, so I can assure you that projects will be delivered in a timely, respectful, and professional manner. I am very proficient in SolidWorks and can also work in Autodesk Inventor & Fusion. I am comfortable working with a wide array of materials for physical prototypes, including plastics (3D printed or laser-cut), metals (aluminum & steel primarily), and soft goods (ie, textiles & synthetic fabrics). I am also capable with electronics & software and can easily integrate them with hardware products. For prototyping, I own 3 Prusa Mk3S 3D printers and a small laser-cutter and can use them to very quickly deliver professional-quality physical versions of your design. I have soldering irons and other electronics prototyping tools and can do this in-house. I also have limited access to metalworking tools and more industrial-grade machinery for projects that require more advanced manufacturing. In conclusion, I'm an avid problem solver, and I love to tackle problems in the product design/manufacturing space. Thanks for reading, and I hope to work with you soon!

At A Glance: 3D Printing

3D printing is one of the newest printing techniques invented and is already taking the world by storm. 3D printing is the procedure of making a three-dimensional solid object from a digital file and is also known as additive manufacturing. The printer accepts a virtual design of the item via a computer-aided design (CAD) file created through a special 3D modeling program that can either blueprint a totally new object or take a scan of an existing one. The printer then prints thin, horizontal slices of the object, one layer at a time, and constructs it by building these layers on top of each other.

While sounding relatively straightforward, the newness of the technology and the finesse needed to work with the various programs involved means that many businesses hire 3D printing professionals and designers on Upwork to create their 3D objects. Due to the ever-evolving software and hardware that accompanies 3D printing, it often takes a professional designer to be able to get the most from their investment. New developments such as Microsoft’s Kinect will soon lead to the creation of handheld devices that will 3D print as well as numerous other developments, and this means a freelance specialist at the cutting edge of the technology is the perfect person to collaborate with on any project. That way, no matter what the object a business requires to be 3D printed, the right software and hardware can be used for the job, saving expensive mistakes and purchases made in error.
