    Before I started freelancing in 2023, I spent over 5 years as a mechanical engineer in the industrial automation industry. During that time, I accumulated more 5000 hours of SolidWorks CAD experience, and designed custom, multi-million-dollar manufacturing systems for some of the world's largest automotive and consumer product companies. I excel at, and enjoy, turning ideas into working prototypes. Besides mechanical design, my skill set includes 3D printing, electronics prototyping, and web development. I'm a clear communicator and a creative problem solver who's always looking for a new challenge.

    Background in mechanical engineering. Experience from a previous job with market research and testing for performance benchmarking , noise, and vibration. Also spent time working as a manufacturing engineer making sheet metal parts for large contractors. Currently working as an Engineering Contractor at a startup incubator called mHub Chicago, specializing in product development. Can do just about everything in Solidworks and have easy access to a machine shop, 3d printers, etc for prototyping, product development, as well as limited production. I'll be posting screenshots and pictures of my projects as time goes on, but I'm limited as far as what I can show since many projects are under an NDA.
