    Although I've only been freelancing for about a year, I have over 5 years of experience as a mechanical engineer in the industrial automation industry. During that time, I accumulated more 5000 hours of SolidWorks CAD experience, and designed custom, multi-million-dollar manufacturing systems for some of the world's largest automotive and consumer product companies. I excel at, and enjoy, turning ideas into working prototypes. Besides mechanical design, my skill set includes 3D printing, electronics prototyping, and web development. I'm a clear communicator and a creative problem solver who's always looking for a new challenge.
