Hire the Best Prototype Designers in Texas

I bring mechanical design, electrical integration, embedded systems, and CAD development together in one engineering workflow, which is where many product problems are actually solved. My work focuses on the difficult space between physical parts, electronics, firmware behavior, sensors, wiring, enclosures, power, and real-world assembly constraints. I design products and systems that are not only modeled correctly, but also practical to build, test, service, and improve. My background includes 3D CAD assemblies, machined and sheet-metal parts, PCB fit planning, connector access, enclosure layouts, harness routing, embedded hardware integration, and prototype refinement. I am comfortable taking an early idea, rough sketch, existing CAD file, circuit concept, or partial prototype and turning it into a clear engineering direction. For embedded and hardware-related projects, I understand how mechanical decisions affect signal quality, thermal performance, component access, durability, and long-term reliability. I have supported projects involving compact electronic devices, sensor-based products, control systems, test fixtures, automation hardware, and custom mechanical-electrical assemblies. A common problem I solve is when the electrical design, enclosure design, and mechanical layout do not fit together cleanly, creating assembly issues, service problems, or reliability risks. My approach is to review the full system early, identify conflicts before fabrication, and create CAD models, layouts, BOMs, drawings, and documentation that reduce rework. Clients usually come to me when they need someone who can see the whole product, not just one isolated part of it. I focus on practical engineering, clean communication, and build-ready results that help move a concept from design into a working prototype or manufacturable product.

I help companies design, prototype, and troubleshoot complex hardware systems, especially where mechanical, electrical, thermal, and control systems must work together reliably in demanding real-world environments. I am a former Head of R&D at Northrop Grumman Marine Systems, with experience in turbines, generators, electric motors, rotating machinery, and large-scale power systems. My work also includes combustion systems, battery systems, power electronics, embedded hardware, and full product development from concept through working prototype. I work with startups and established companies on: - hardware system design - rotating machinery and power systems - combustion, thermal, and fluid systems - battery and embedded hardware - controls, instrumentation, and industrial automation - diagnosing and solving difficult engineering problems I focus on practical, buildable solutions with strong attention to reliability, manufacturability, safety, and system integration. I’m often brought in when a project needs senior-level engineering direction to move from concept to a working system efficiently. I studied engineering and business at Stanford University and have 20+ years of experience working with venture-backed startups, helping connect engineering decisions to product development, scaling, and execution.

I'm a mechanical engineer that enjoys developing new products. 3D modeling your ideas will help start your invention path and create something new. I create 3D models for prototyping, 3D printing, or manufacturing. - Product development from ideation to manufacturing - Supply chain setup for production capacity - Iterative design process with 3D printing for rapid development I also run a 3D printing and prototyping studio, samples of my work are available at levelupgadgets3d.com.

Have an innovative mobile app idea, a design prototype, or a web platform you’re ready to bring to life? Whether you're starting from a rough concept or already experimenting with wireframes and modern tools, I help founders and growing businesses turn complex ideas into seamless, intuitive, and scalable digital products without wasting months of time or thousands of dollars on flawed execution. Proven Track Record: • 10+ Years of Experience leading UI/UX design & product development • 2M+ End-Users interacting with mobile and web apps I’ve designed & built • Top Tier Design Quality: Scalable Figma design systems, tokens, and production-ready code • End-to-End Delivery: From initial wireframes to high-fidelity interactive prototypes & mobile apps A few years ago, I saw firsthand how many startups fail simply because of poor user experience and disconnected development. Hiring the wrong design team or building without a clear UI/UX strategy usually ends in a costly redesign. Having led design teams and built dozens of products across mobile and web platforms, I bridge the gap between pixel-perfect UI/UX design and clean frontend architecture. I’ve helped over 100+ founders and businesses launch high-converting products across SaaS, AI platforms, cross-platform mobile apps (iOS & Android), and digital marketing systems.
