I am a Mechanical Design Engineer specializing in SolidWorks-based product development, industrial machinery, and energy systems design. I help clients turn ideas, process challenges, and concepts into fully engineered, fabrication-ready, and operational systems. My work goes beyond CAD modeling—I focus on delivering complete engineering solutions from concept through design, fabrication support, and commissioning. With over 15 years of experience in mechanical engineering, industrial R&D, and equipment development, I have worked on projects across Kenya and internationally, including remote collaboration with engineering teams in Japan. My specialization → Mechanical & Product Design using SolidWorks → Industrial Machinery & System Design → Energy Systems (biomass, biogas, waste-to-energy concepts) → Fabrication-Ready Engineering Drawings & BOMs → Prototype Development & Testing Support → Installation & Commissioning of Equipment What you get when working with me → Practical, manufacturable designs (not just CAD models) → Clear engineering drawings ready for workshop fabrication → Cost-aware design decisions for real production environments → Support through fabrication, assembly, and installation phases → Systems that are tested, functional, and deployment-ready Relevant Project Experience I have delivered complete engineering systems including: → A continuous 100 kg/hr biochar carbonizer system converting agricultural waste into biochar → Agro-processing equipment such as honey processing and banana fibre systems → Biogas and gas handling systems with distribution piping and controls → Custom industrial machines including transport systems, gym equipment and processing lines → Prototype mechanical systems including wind turbine models and testing units These projects involved full-cycle engineering—from concept design and CAD modeling to fabrication supervision and final commissioning. My Working Approach 1. Understand your technical or business problem 2. Develop a practical engineering solution 3. Create detailed CAD models and drawings where applicable 4. Support fabrication and procurement decisions 5. Assist with installation, testing and system commissioning Who I Work With → Manufacturing and industrial companies → Agro-processing businesses → Energy and sustainability projects → SMEs needing custom machinery → NGOs and development organizations → Engineering contractors and fabricators If you need a reliable mechanical engineer who can design systems that actually work in the real world, I can support your project from concept to completion. I’m always open to NDAs and long-term partnerships.
