I work as an R&D Engineer in the oil and gas industry, where I design heavy machinery and structural assemblies for inspection and repair. I bring this same industrial rigor to every client project. Whether you’re building something new or fixing an existing design, I can help with: • Turning sketches, photos, or rough ideas into clean 3D CAD • Creating fabrication-ready drawings for laser cutting, bending, and welding • Fixing messy or unusable CAD files • Improving designs to reduce cost and simplify manufacturing • Assembling and validating parts before production I specialize in: Steel frames & welded structures (RHS, structural components) Sheet metal parts & enclosures (folded, cut, production-ready) Industrial equipment, brackets, mounts & assemblies I don’t just design—I design with real-world fabrication in mind, including processes like welding, forming, and post-processing. With experience in both mechanical design and fabrication environments, I understand what works on screen vs what actually works in the workshop. If you need a design that’s clean, practical, and ready to build—send me a message and let’s discuss your project.
