About

A well thought out CAD model can save many unnecessary headaches and costly design oversights downstream. No matter how big or small of a part or mechanical assembly, a CAD model will be the keystone in a robust final product.

However, this is always easier said than done, turning an idea into a 3D model in a computer isn’t always a walk in the park, this is where I come in. My experience is in CAD and in-depth knowledge of mechanical designs which accumulates to turning your idea into a reality, on your screen. If the resources allow, the idea doesn’t need to stop there. With hands-on experience in machining (CNC), additive manufacturing (3D printing), and composites, I can assist in making your idea a reality.

In addition to robust CAD models and assemblies, I can also offer:
- Finite Element Analysis and comprehensive reports
- Detailed part drawings
- Technical writing
- Renderings

I have engineering experience in automotive, mobility, and outdoor recreation equipment design, specializing in suspension, battery enclosures, and belt drive systems. I look forward to working with you on the next revolutionary idea, no matter how big or small.
