PhD candidate in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology, specializing in thermal management, two-phase heat transfer, and high-heat-flux electronics cooling. Co-inventor on US Patent 12,349,313 B2 with peer-reviewed publications through ASME. I help clients solve complex thermal and fluid problems with rigorous engineering analysis — the same standards I apply to my own published research and patent work. My core areas: • Thermal & CFD Analysis — ANSYS Fluent, conjugate heat transfer, conduction/convection/radiation modeling, electronics cooling, heat sink design, two-phase flow and boiling • Numerical Modeling & Simulation — Python and MATLAB thermal models, Simulink/Simscape system simulation, transient bioheat transfer, parameter sweeps, optimization • Experimental Design & Data Analysis — DAQ systems (LabVIEW), uncertainty analysis, regression modeling in R, test rig design, instrumentation • Technical Writing — Journal manuscripts, conference papers, patent documentation, technical reports written to publication standards Prior industry experience as a Mechanical Engineering Co-op at Simutech Group supporting clients including GE and Andritz on data acquisition systems. My academic research focuses on subcooled pool boiling at subatmospheric pressures for data center cooling applications, achieving CHF values up to 195 W/cm² on copper substrates. I take on projects where precision matters. If you need someone who treats your problem the way a peer reviewer would treat a journal submission, let's talk.

🌟 17 years of 3D printing experience & 100% success rate on Upwork. Work by invite only & includes free initial design consultation. I keep your project moving by creating fully functional and high strength 3D printed parts intended for end use. I create custom designed to meet your exact specifications and delivered parts and CAD files to move your project forward. I typically work with manufacturing companies, robotic teams, labs, and universities. Please note, I do not work with individual inventors looking to invent a new product. I exclusively work with professional teams able to apply resources to fixing high-value problems. ►Check out the interactive 3D CAD designs using the links in the portfolio descriptions◄ My Process: -Initial design review and process map with formal report [*money back guarantee at this step] -Initial sketches and concept renders -First CAD models in under 3 days after concept approval -Rapid iteration with 3D printed test parts -Functional parts delivered to you for validation and refinement -Final manufacturing plans (or fully functional delivered parts) after validation What you Get: - Formal report of problem analysis and solution scope - Design concept sketches - Supplier ready and fully manufacturable 3D models - Optional: Done for you manufacturing. Fully sourced and fully functional Capabilities: - In-house FDM & 3-axis CNC - Network for SLS, SLA MJF, 5-axis milling, and injection molding - One-off, small batch, or short-run production, global shipping Guarantee: - 100 percent money-back guarantee after the design review and process mapping if I’m not perfect fit to support you Capacity: • Limited new project starts each month to protect speed of delivery • A small number of rush slots are available How to get started: Invite me to your project and lets meet to discuss the details and determine if I am best fit to support you. If I'm not the best fit, I can help guide you during initial consultation.

One engineer. Full permit package. Architectural, structural, and MEP — all in Revit. Most projects get passed between an architect, a structural engineer, and an MEP consultant. Three timelines, three invoices, and coordination gaps that show up during plan check. I eliminate that. With 30+ years of engineering and design experience, I deliver the complete package — architectural floor plans, structural framing, and full MEP systems — from a single Revit model. No handoff gaps. No miscoordinated drawings. One set, one source. What I deliver: → ARCHITECTURAL — Floor plans, elevations, sections, reflected ceiling plans, door/window schedules, code analysis, site plans → STRUCTURAL — Foundation design, framing plans, load path analysis, shear wall layouts, structural details and calculations → MECHANICAL — HVAC system design, load calculations, duct layouts, equipment selection, exhaust systems → ELECTRICAL — Power distribution, lighting plans, panel schedules, single-line diagrams, EV provisions → PLUMBING — Domestic water, sanitary/storm drainage, gas piping, fixture schedules, riser diagrams Project types: Commercial, residential, healthcare, hospitality, industrial, mixed-use, multifamily, retail — I've engineered them all. Why clients choose me over separate consultants: - Complete permit-ready drawings from one source — faster, cheaper, zero coordination issues - I personally build every Revit model — structured grids, proper levels, clean families, ready for handoff - I know codes across U.S. states — Western, Central, and Southeast regions - 30+ years means designs that pass plan check the first time Ready to discuss your project — send me a message or schedule a call.
