Mechanical Design Engineer (Washington Accord) - SolidWorks CAD & ANSYS CAE Specialist in DFM, CFD & Product Design.
I design production-ready mechanical parts, assemblies, and simulations using SolidWorks, ANSYS, CREO, ABAQUS, and DFM-driven engineering.
Clients hire me to reduce cost, weight, and manufacturing complexity while improving performance.
What I deliver
✔️ SolidWorks CAD: parts, assemblies, 2D drawings, GD&T & BOM — optimized for manufacturing
✔️ ANSYS CAE: structural, thermal, vibrational & CFD (Fluent) — actionable simulation reports
✔️ DFM: machining, sheet metal, molding, welding & 3D printing refinements — lower cost, faster assembly
✔️ Product Development: modeling → prototyping → testing → optimization — full concept-to-production workflow
Why I stand out
✔️ Designed for aerospace, defense, industrial machinery & climate-tech applications
✔️ Every model is built with manufacturing feasibility & assembly efficiency in mind
✔️ Strong communication (IELTS-C1), clean documentation & reliable delivery
✔️ Experience with defense-grade and aerospace design requirements
Whether you need a new design, a manufacturing-ready redesign, a simulation report, or full product development, I can take your project from concept → CAD → CAE → production.
Let’s build something that works in real life, not just on screen.
Share your requirements, and I’ll send 1–2 improvement options within 24 hours.

Most CAD models look good on screen.
Very few are actually ready for manufacturing, fabrication, or real-world production.
I help startups, manufacturers, fabrication shops, engineering teams, and product developers create production-ready CAD models, sheet metal designs, fabrication drawings, 3D printable parts, and manufacturing documentation that can go directly into production.
If you are struggling with:
✔CAD files that cannot actually be manufactured,
✔Incorrect flat patterns, bend issues during sheet metal fabrication,
✔Poor fabrication drawings with missing dimensions
✔Weak product designs and non-Optimized 3d printable designs,
✔Messy assemblies and unclear BOMs
✔Poor communication and delayed delivery,
✔Freelancers disappearing mid-project,
✔Constant revisions due to manufacturing mistakes,
then I can help.
With more than 6 years of experience, I specialize in turning sketches, concepts, PDFs, STEP files, STL scans, and rough ideas into clean, organized, production-ready engineering deliverables.

About me:
I have over a decade of freelance, commission, and independent contract experience.
I hold a BAS in Applied Engineering and an AAS in Computer Aided Drafting and Design, with additional education and experience in the visual arts.
I am an excellent visual communicator, capable of conveying technical design ideas via models and drawings using manufacturing knowledge and drafting standards, as well as creating drawings, paintings, and 3D renderings to convey creative ideas.
I have particular specialization in research & development, product design, innovation, visualization and prototyping.
I most often work in SOLIDWORKS, Photoshop, and Blender, though I am capable with AutoCAD, Inventor, Creo, Illustrator, InDesign, and other software.
Additionally, I have excellent writing, copywriting, proofreading, presentation design, and project management and administrative skills. I have training and experience with Microsoft Office products, CRM and PLM platforms, and other productivity and project management software.
