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.

Mechanical Design Engineer with 13+ years of professional experience delivering production-ready designs in SolidWorks and AutoCAD on time, every time. ✔ 100% Job Success Score ✔ Top Rated Plus — top 3% of talent on Upwork ✔ Available now — 30+ hrs/week I hold dual engineering degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Metallurgy & Materials Engineering, which gives me a rare combination of design precision and deep materials knowledge. I work with manufacturing companies, fabrication shops, and product development teams across the US and Australia to transform concepts into shop-floor-ready documentation. My deliverables include fully detailed 3D models, fabrication drawings, DXF/STEP files, and complete BOM packages no back-and-forth, no rework. Core expertise: ▸ Trailer & mobile equipment — custom trailers, food trailers, utility trailers, scissor lifts ▸ Welded steel structures — frame design, load analysis, structural calculations ▸ Sheet metal & CNC — DXF-ready flat patterns, bend allowances, nesting optimization ▸ FEA (Finite Element Analysis) — static, fatigue, and structural simulations to validate designs before fabrication ▸ Industrial machinery — hydraulic systems, water treatment equipment, reverse engineering ▸ DFM reviews — catching manufacturability issues before they reach the shop floor What sets me apart: Most designers model what you ask for. I go further — I validate it. My dual background in mechanical engineering and metallurgy means I understand how materials behave under real-world loads, how welds perform under fatigue, and how to optimize designs for both structural integrity and cost-effective manufacturing. Every critical design I deliver is backed by FEA analysis, not just experience. I respond to all messages within 4 hours and provide clear project milestones from day one. You'll always know where your project stands.
