I'm a GIS analyst and cartographer with 8+ years of experience translating complex environmental, social, and operational data into maps and dashboards that actually get used. I've built interactive Tableau and ArcGIS Online tools for nonprofit disaster response, developed climate visualizations for international NGOs, and mentored students at Columbia University's School of Professional Studies and Climate School. My work has been featured at the Data Visualization Society's Outlier Conference. I work best with organizations where the data matters - environmental nonprofits, sustainability initiatives, climate advocacy groups, public agencies, and mission-driven teams. Whether you need a polished static map for a report, an interactive web map for stakeholders, or a Tableau dashboard that tells a story, I bring both the technical depth and the communication skills to get you there. My approach is equity-focused, collaborative, and delivery-oriented. I'll ask the right questions upfront so the final product fits your audience, not just your dataset.

I bridge the gap between concept and commercial reality. As a US-based Mechanical Engineer with 6+ years of experience, I engineer shop-ready products that work in the real world and in simulation. I help entrepreneurs and US manufacturers eliminate costly fabrication errors, optimize production cycles, and navigate the complex path from napkin sketch to mass production. Why Clients Choose Me Over Offshore Alternatives: US-Based & Compliant: I operate in your time zone and am fully qualified for IP-sensitive projects. Your intellectual property never leaves US jurisdiction, ensuring maximum security. ⚙️ Shop-Floor Fluency: I speak the language of machinists and mold makers. My designs are built with Design for Manufacturing (DFM) at the forefront, ensuring you don't pay for features that can't be machined. 📉 Capital Efficiency: I use advanced simulation (FEA & CFD) to validate designs virtually, reducing the need for expensive physical prototype iterations. My Core Engineering Solutions: 1. Design for Manufacturing (DFM) & Assembly The Goal: Reduce unit cost and tooling complexity. The Process: Rigorous analysis of wall thickness, draft angles, and tolerances (GD&T) for Injection Molding, CNC, and Sheet Metal. I deliver files that machine shops accept without questions. 2. Concept-to-Reality Product Design The Goal: Transform vague ideas into functional products. The Process: Full-lifecycle development using Fusion 360. From complex mechanism design to aesthetic enclosures, I create parametric, editable assemblies ready for future iteration. 3. Risk Mitigation via Simulation (FEA) The Goal: Prevent field failures. The Process: Structural Optimization & Analysis to predict failure points before cutting a single piece of material. What My Clients Say: "Sebastian’s attention to detail... reduced total manufacturing time by hours; this project has truly changed my life." - LOBA Corporation "The simulation insights were invaluable, and the detailed presentation made everything clear." - DBS Studio Ready to engineer a product that lasts?
