Innovative Mechanical Engineer with a track record of transforming concepts into market-ready products. Specializing in research, design optimization, and CAD/3D Modeling proficiency, I thrive in bringing creative solutions to complex engineering challenges. My past projects have included: 1) Medical Filter for a Medical Startup Company (Sonablate) Spearheaded a project to overhaul medical filter design using CAD/3D modeling, aligning it with regulatory requirements while slashing production costs. Resulted in enhanced product quality and substantial monthly cost savings up to $100,000. 2) Pneumatic Display for an International Company (SMC) Lead the mechanical design/engineering for a pneumatic display using, meeting marketing and sales requirements while also meeting specifications. Resulted in a robust display that showcased a mock manufacturing case study at large trade shows. 3) Surgical Pen for Rutgers University Lead a project where I assisted a medical doctor working with Rutgers University to create an innovative solution to a surgical pen using 3D modeling/CAD. Took the idea from a napkin sketch concept and assisted with bringing other ideas to the project. Resulted in a prototype for the doctor to showcase to potential investors and a patent for the pen. With a proven history in mechanical design, project management, and creative problem-solving, I excel in delivering end-to-end solutions. My expertise spans medical device development, design for manufacturing, and the ability to assist with verification and validation. Clients can expect meticulous attention to detail, innovative problem-solving, and a commitment to excellence in every project undertaken. Setting myself apart in the competitive landscape, I offer: Extensive Solidworks Proficiency: Leveraging advanced CAD/3D Modeling capabilities to expedite design iterations and optimize product performance. Broad Industry Exposure: From medical devices to agricultural engineering, I possess diverse mechanical engineer skills honed across various sectors. Entrepreneurial Acumen: Experience as a business owner underscores my strategic thinking, resourcefulness, and client-centric approach. A Can-Do Attitude: I provide a can-do attitude where I look at ways to solve complex problems rather than letting complexity deter me. Ready to elevate your project to new heights?
