As a mechanical engineer educated at Michigan State University with hands-on project experience at Carnegie Mellon's Robotics Institute, I specialize in turning complex ideas into manufacturing-ready CAD models. I don't just design on a screen; I build, work, and troubleshoot in the real world. Whether I am engineering modular subsystems for a 120lb competitive robot, prototyping 3D-printed sequential gearboxes, or diagnosing and repairing physical engine systems, I approach every CAD project with a practical understanding of how parts actually fit together and function. I know how to bridge the gap between digital concepts and physical production. My core CAD & Engineering services include: * 3D Modeling & Assembly Design (SolidWorks, Onshape, Autodesk) * Design for Manufacturing (DFM) (Optimizing parts for 3D printing, CNC milling, and lathe turning) * Rapid Prototyping & Mechanism Design * Technical Drawings & Documentation Let’s collaborate to get your mechanical concepts designed, refined, and ready for production.
