Hire the Best ANSYS Specialists
in the United States

Mechanical Engineer specializing in Thermal Fluids and expert in CFD with more than 15 years of professional experience. Specialist in CFD software development, CFD solution architecture, and applications with High-Performance Computing (HPC). My experience varies from computer science to numerical analysis, numerical methods, and applied math. I am experienced in computational solutions based on Design of Experiments (DoE) and surrogate modeling to accelerate engineering designs using Machine Learning (ML/AI). As a professional CFD Engineer, I have worked on multiphase flows (multicomponent gas with multiphase interaction), HVAC, thermal analysis, heat transfer, heat exchangers, fluid flows, turbulence modeling (LES, DNS, RANS), corrosion modeling, supersonic/hypersonics flows, aerodynamics, combustion, optimization applications, uncertainty quantification, sensitivity study, and quality assurance through V&V. I am an active member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). I actively collaborate with academia in scientific publications and as a technical reviewer. I am familiar with International Standards such as ASHRAE, ASME, ANSI, API, and ASCE. I am proficient with Python for projects requiring AI/ML, e.g., sensitivities studies or for optimization purposes; and compiled languages such as Fortran, C, and C++ for CFD development projects, as well as Java, bash scripting, and Linux environment for HPC applications and cloud computing. I am an expert in different CFD tools such as ANSYS Fluent, StarCCM+, OpenFOAM, ANSYS CFD, Cadence Suite (including Pointiwse), SimScale, and many more. I am an expert on Solidworks, Salome, OnShape, and Inventor for CAE modeling.

I bridge the gap between rigorous engineering physics and fast-paced product development. As a PhD Mechanical Engineer and startup founder, I offer a rare combination of deep theoretical knowledge and practical, hands-on building experience. I don't just design parts in CAD. I engineer complete systems by handling the mechanical design, optical integration, thermal analysis, and the Python code that makes it all run. Whether you need to design a rugged sensor enclosure, automate a testing setup, or model a complex physical system, I bring the "Founder’s Mindset" to your project. I prioritize robust, manufacturable solutions that fit your timeline and budget. My Multi-Disciplinary Expertise: 1. Mechanical Engineering & DFM I take concepts from napkin sketches to mass production. My designs are built for the real world, not just the computer screen. Tools: Expert in SolidWorks and Fusion 360. Capabilities: Design for Manufacturing (CNC, Injection Molding, 3D Printing), GD&T, and complex assembly management. Experience: Engineered high-pressure sensor housings (10,000 psi / 250°C) and solar concentrator modules that survive outdoor elements for 20+ years. 2. Optomechanics & Precision Instrumentation: If your product involves light, lasers, or sensors, I am the specialist you need. I understand how mechanical stress affects optical performance. Experience: Designed and built a sub-micron alignment workstation for fiber-to-chip attachment using high-power CO2 lasers. R&D: Developed novel photonic sensors (published in Seismological Research Letters and Applied Optics), proving my ability to develop and handle extremely sensitive instrumentation. 3. Engineering Computation (Python & FEA) I use code and simulations to validate hardware. I rely on calculation rather than guesswork. Simulation: Advanced Finite Element Analysis (ANSYS/COMSOL) for thermal, structural, ray/wave optics and multiphysics problems. Python: Proficient in NumPy, SciPy, and Pandas for data analysis and physics-based modeling. Automation: I build custom GUIs (Tkinter) to interface with hardware and automate data acquisition. Why Clients Trust Me: I have built my own company: As a founder in the renewable energy sector, I treat your capital with the same respect I treat my own. I focus on viable, scalable engineering. I solve the "Hard" problems: I specialize in projects where standard engineering isn't enough, such as those involving extreme temperatures, high pressures, and sub-micron tolerances.

I build the automations that kill your team's busywork — leads that route themselves, data that stops getting copied between apps, follow-ups that just happen. I'm an automation engineer. I wire your CRM, forms, spreadsheets, and AI into the tools you already run — using n8n, Make, GoHighLevel, Zapier, and the Claude and OpenAI APIs — so the manual steps disappear. A few things I've built: - An AI agent that texts a client about messy QuickBooks transactions and updates the books straight from their reply. - A voice AI agent for an HVAC company across 6 markets that calls new leads in seconds, gives an estimate, and sends a PDF bid by text and email. - Stage-based GoHighLevel pipelines with the SMS and email follow-ups firing on their own. - A full custom CRM with AI lead routing and Twilio messaging for a sales team. Here's what makes me different: my day job is rocket engineering. So your automation gets built the way flight hardware does — documented, tested, and hard to break — not a brittle Zap that falls over the first time something weird comes through. I'm a good fit if you're drowning in manual steps, duct-taping tools that don't talk to each other, or you want AI actually wired into your operations instead of just talked about. Send me a message with whatever's eating your team's time, and I'll tell you straight whether it's worth automating.
