    I've been an active product design and manufacturing engineer for the last 33 years with experience spanning nearly all manufacturing disciplines. I've worked in large industry such as Proctor & Gamble Oleochemicals & Pirelli Cable as well as small to medium sized design and manufacturing businesses. I currently manage the shop floor for a 30,000 sq ft machine and fabrication shop with 20 machining centers of various types as well as high volume fabrication machinery (laser cutters, press brakes and robot welders). I have extensive experience with the following industrial processes. Setup and programming for- CNC Milling Centers (Vertical & Horizontal) CNC turning Multi-axis, multi spindle turning. Laser cutting systems Tube laser cutting systems Large plasma cutting systems CNC press brake setup and operation Welding processes such as MIG TIG Gas Yaskawa robot welding setup and programming. Extensive knowledge of finishing processes - Powder Coat Wet Paint Electro Chemical finishes- Anodize Zinc processes Chrome Nickel Conversion coatings Precious metal such as gold and silver I have extensive experience in Physical Vapor Deposition (Vacuum coating). Both in the design and construction of vacuum systems as well as the operation of systems depositing coatings. I have an extensive background in industrial computer motion control as well as industrial controls such as process controllers ,PLC's and high level motion controllers such as Parker Compumotor motion controllers, stepper and servo drives as well asn precision encoder systems such as Renishaw. I've been using computer aided design sytems since they were little more than electronic paper and have followed and grown with them as they have evolved over the decades. My design thought processes easily flow into the design systems allowing me to work quickly, accurately and cost effectively for my clients. My extensive hands on experience across multiple disciplines give me a significat advantage in product design. I know most of the manufacturing challenges for a design problem before the first design keystrokes. I know how to make the most of materials and processes for cost effective manufacturing of the products I design. I am more than just a mechanical engineering student that knows how to draw things in a CAD system. I know how to design products so they can atually be made, made well and made cost effectively. Not only can I help you with your design problems, I can help you with gettnig your product to market and into scaleable production that is cost effective. I hope to hear from you soon!

    I have 25+ years experience as mechanical design engineer, starting as a draftsperson and working my way up to design engineer. With experience in many different industries, mainly in semiconductor and horticultural fields, I've amassed more than 10,000 hours in both Solidworks and Pro-E. I am currently beginning my own venture to provide high quality designs and prototypes for people and businesses in need of manufacturable, cost-efficient, and creative designs. My aim and goal is to build long term partnerships, so no job is insignificant or too small. I also have extensive experience in simulation modeling for FEA and I am versed in GD&T, design for manufacturing and assembly, and have worked with high power, high frequency, HID and LED lighting, and commercial horticulture products. I am also very experienced in technical product literature such as cutsheets, instructions, and test procedures. I have a lesser (but still complete) background in civil, structural and architectural drafting, and am willing and able to help with that kind of work as well. I own a small in-house 3D printer, so if prototypes are needed, that service is available. I am currently working in Solidworks, Autodesk Inventor, and AutoCAD, and am also proficient in the Microsoft Office Suite and Adobe products. As a holder of several design patents, and many years of experience, I believe that I can be a great asset and provider to anybody who seeks a freelance design/drafting/technical writing expert, and I look forward to getting the opportunity to work with you.

Extensive design experience on Altium Designer, including detailed layout incorporating 3D CAD models. Certified IPC Designer Council PCB Designer (CID). Whether it's taking an existing Arduino / Raspberry Pi prototype and turning it into a in-production product, or developing a brand new idea from the early concept stage to attract investors, I enjoy providing you with technical solutions that are suitably engineered for your needs. I am a graduate of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), with a B.S. in Engineering and Applied Sciences. I am located in the Pasadena / Los Angeles-area. I am a U.S. Citizen and am available for travel domestically and internationally. Key offerings: • System analysis and design, including key technical and market considerations for success • Electronics design and printed circuit board (PCB) layout with Altium Designer • Mechanical CAD work to supplement the electronics, including sheet metal work • Develop bare-metal firmware and embedded-OS software • Build and test prototypes • Process regulatory and safety testing and certification • Manage product manufacturing and logistics • Troubleshoot and fix failed devices and bad designs. • Assemble / repair prototype devices. I can use many formats of customer-supplied data from other electronics design software, and mechanical data from Solidworks and other standard CAD data formats. I have developed a wide variety of circuit boards, including: • Industry standard 4- and 2-layer boards with surface mount and through-hole components • Higher-complexity board (very high layer count, blind/buried vias, HDI) • High-speed / high-density boards with length-matching and tuning • Circuit boards with complex mechanical dimensional requirements • Flex and rigid-flex circuits with features on multiple work planes. • Products incorporating Bluetooth, BLE, WiFi, and serial interfaces (SPI, I2C, LIN, RS-232, RS-485) I design, assemble and test prototype electronics with in-house equipment. For volume production, I can arrange turn-key manufacturing for you. Partial list of equipment: • Prototype SMD assembly and rework tools • Othermill CNC PCB milling system • SMD Pick-and-place for short-run PCB assembly (over 3,000 CPH) • 3-axis CNC mill for enclosure / custom metal fabrication • Multiple 3D Printers. Print volumes up to 14" x 14" x 12.6" (355 x 355 x 320 mm) • 4-Channel 500 MHz DSO, 500 Msps logic analyzer • Thermal imaging camera • Metrology grade 3D scanner Please feel free to challenge me with your tough projects!

    I have been in the business of product design and engineering for more than 20 years. During that time I have amassed an education and have been tutored by some of the best in our industries. I have a gift of seeing your needs and transcribing them into solid 3D CAD models and then into physical parts and/or assemblies. Using new 3D printing technologies and rapid prototyping techniques, we can get your new product, or upgraded product through the primary stages of design and test and to the market in the fastest time, and best methods with lower production costs. An advantage I bring to your team is my network of resources. I can advise as to the proper resource for each facet of your product. From local machining, fabricating, tooling to overseas large volume production. I have traveled to foreign countries on behalf of clients to assure factory abilities and to sign off on first article part runs. I am a full turn-key provider. I can take your hand drawn sketch from beginning to end. Including CAD renderings, photo realistic imaging, simulations, DFM, tooling design, ANSI shop drawings, BOM, prototyping, - the works. I work from my office which is fully complemented with several computers, a local server as well as cloud storage. I have two good quality 3D printers using the SLA and FDM process. I am familiar with all office software and enjoy online video conferencing. I own my licenses for SolidWorks, and am current up to 2019 version. I continue to keep up to date with new features and training. Contact me with your project idea and I'd be happy to return to you a mock up design at no charge.
