CAD Expert, and Aero-Mechanical Engineer. I complete on the complex projects that your last hire couldn't. I specialize in high-fidelity CAD modeling from scans, large assembly design, and precision surface work. Whether you need a custom component fitted to your car’s dashboard, a clay prototype converted to a parasolid, or CT scans cleaned and converted into anatomically accurate, mathematically constrained CAD surfaces (not just meshes), I deliver engineering-ready geometry with exacting detail. I do not do hourly contracts. Fixed price or retainer only. No contracts below $1500 dollars. No jobs generating data for AI.
