I am a dedicated Mechanical Engineer and Lead Designer specialized in transforming complex product ideas into manufacturable realities. With a focus on precision and structural integrity, I bridge the gap between conceptual sketches and production-ready CAD models, ensuring every design is optimized for the workshop floor. Using advanced tools like SolidWorks and AutoCAD, I develop detailed 3D models and high-performance mechanical systems. My work ranges from intricate folding industrial furniture to specialized hydraulic systems, such as ram pumps. I focus on creating precise assembly drawings and comprehensive Bills of Materials (BOM) that streamline the fabrication process. My approach centers on Design for Manufacturing (DFM), where I prioritize material selection—such as High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and specialized steel sections—to balance durability with cost-efficiency. I have extensive experience in reverse engineering existing components and preparing files for rapid prototyping through 3D printing and CNC machining. Beyond technical drafting, I provide strategic engineering solutions for startups and established manufacturers. I focus on structural analysis and adherence to international safety standards, ensuring that every project is not only functional but also reliable in demanding real-world environments. I am committed to clear communication and delivering high-tier technical support tailored to client needs.
