I am a licensed professional engineer certified in New York and New Jersey, and can help you from building out your initial concept to permitting to seeing the project out through the end! I am a Mechanical (HVAC), Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) engineer with 9 years of experience, and specialize in designing a variety of commercial and industrial spaces, including offices, hotels, schools, restaurants, bakeries, gyms, retail, warehouses, audio studios, pharmacies, sport facilities, and labs. Working for years in Manhattan, from designing showrooms to high-rises, I am very familiar with the NYC building code, and can help you expedite design and avoid pitfalls others can fall into. It brings me pride to hear positive feedback about my responsiveness and due diligence, and is something I strive for in every project! I'm available to chat anytime, let me know how I can help P.S. Please feel free to contact me from other states as well, I'm always open to talking to new people

Iโ€™m a U.S.-based mechanical engineer with deep experience in full-stack hardware development; combining mechanical design, electronics integration, embedded prototyping, and manufacturing execution. Iโ€™ve engineered production systems and commercial products for companies including MakerBot (Method XL), Ultimaker, Stryker CMF, ULC Robotics, WAC Lighting, and other venture-backed hardware teams. Notably, I engineered a 3D printer at MakerBot and regularly develop and test prototypes using both SLA and FDM systems; giving me practical insight into real-world manufacturability. ๐Ÿ›  What I Deliver ๐Ÿ“Œ ๐—™๐˜‚๐—น๐—น-๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ ๐—›๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐——๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐Ÿ”น Concept development through production release ๐Ÿ”น System-level thinking across mechanical + electrical ๐Ÿ”น Clean, manufacturing-ready CAD architecture ๐Ÿ“Œ ๐— ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—˜๐—ป๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐Ÿ”น SolidWorks (licensed), Creo 8.0 ๐Ÿ”น DFM for injection molding, sheet metal, CNC machining ๐Ÿ”น Tolerance stack-ups & robust assemblies ๐Ÿ”น BOMs and factory-ready drawings ๐Ÿ“Œ ๐—˜๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜€ ๐—œ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐Ÿ”น PCB integration & mounting strategy ๐Ÿ”น Sensor layout & enclosure design ๐Ÿ”น Battery systems & thermal management ๐Ÿ”น Design for EMI, safety, and reliability ๐Ÿ“Œ ๐—˜๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ & ๐— ๐—ฉ๐—ฃ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ผ๐˜๐˜†๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐Ÿ”น Arduino & Raspberry Pi development ๐Ÿ”น Python-based control logic ๐Ÿ”น Functional demo units for testing or investor validation ๐Ÿ“Œ ๐—ฅ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ฑ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ผ๐˜๐˜†๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐Ÿ”น Functional enclosures, mechanisms, and validation rigs ๐Ÿ”น In-house SLA + FDM prototyping ๐Ÿ”น Fast iteration cycles before tooling investment โœจIโ€™m not just a CAD modeler; I build systems that work in the real world.

I am a senior lighting designer specializing in AGi32-based lighting design, photometric calculations, daylighting analysis, and PAR lighting studies for industrial, infrastructure, commercial, architectural, and specialty lighting applications. Over the past 9+ years, I have delivered production-ready lighting models for real-world installationsโ€”many of which are now operating 24/7 in mining sites, processing plants, ports, yards, car parks, streets, and buildings across Australia, North America, and international markets. My work goes beyond โ€œrunning calculations.โ€ I routinely: โ€ข Build accurate AGi32 models from minimal or imperfect information โ€ข Interpret and apply IES, AS/NZS, and project-specific standards โ€ข Optimize luminaire placement, mounting geometry, spacing, and optics โ€ข Deliver clear, defensible reports suitable for engineers, authorities, and clients I have worked long-term with LED manufacturers, consultants, and engineering teams, supporting everything from concept studies to compliance submissions and value-engineered revisions. If you need someone who understands how lighting performs in the fieldโ€”not just on screen, I bring that experience to every project. Message with your DWG/PDF + code reqs for free scope review.
