I strive to produce perfect results upon request, and seek to add value with recommendations that would improve designs for both function and manufacturing.
Currently, my services include: Conceptual/Industrial Design, Mechanical Design, 3D digitizing, (reverse engineering), 3D modeling, DATA Conversion from CAD to CAD, and 2D documentation. In addition to these engineering services, I also can offer you Rapid Prototype models, usually an SLA, FDM, or SLS modeling technique. All data is electronically transferred, backed up, and delivered in a wide variety of formats.
Over the past 40 years, I've created household products, indoor and outdoor electronics enclosures, automotive parts, medical devices, industrial equipment, lighting fixtures, packaging, pet products, hydroponic components, jewelry, and more.

You have a hardware idea — or a prototype that needs to actually ship. That's where I come in.
I'm a Top Rated+ mechanical and product design engineer with 9+ years turning concepts into production-ready hardware. I specialize in electronic enclosures, mechanical assemblies, and design-for-manufacturing — for funded startups, engineering teams, and hardware founders who can't afford to get this wrong.
Currently embedded with an $8M Reg CF–backed hardware company, I bring the same rigor and speed you'd expect from an in-house senior engineer — without the overhead.
What I deliver:
— Custom enclosures & housings (PCB, IoT, consumer, industrial)
— Mechanical assemblies: drivetrains, linkages, motion systems, actuators
— Full DFM optimization for 3D printing, CNC, and injection molding
— Investor-ready prototypes and production-ready CAD packages
— 2D engineering drawings and tolerance specs
I work directly with founders, CTOs, and engineering leads. I communicate clearly, move fast, and deliver files you can actually hand to a manufacturer.
