Hello! My name is Alex. I come from an academic background in Civil Engineering as well as completing a Master degree in Digital Media. I have a passion for solving complex design problems-- always aiming to achieve efficiency, aesthetic appeal, and design optimization in my work. I currently work as a Design Engineer, where my job requires me to run through the design conceptualization process, moving conceptual work into a 3D CAD model (typically using Inventor, AutoCAD 3D, or Rhino), and finally sending manufacturing/fabrication drawings (2D drawings and design manuals) off to either the in-house or third party fabrication parties. I would love to apply my skills to your next CAD project!

I am an accomplished Product Design Engineer with a robust background in mechanical engineering, specializing in CAD design, 3D modeling, and prototyping. My expertise lies in transforming concepts into tangible, high-quality products that meet stringent industry standards and exceed client expectations. With years of hands-on experience, I have honed my skills in creating detailed engineering drawings, developing innovative designs, and optimizing products for manufacturing, particularly in the realm of sheet metal fabrication. Strengths and Skillsets: 1. CAD Design and 3D Modeling: I have a deep proficiency in using advanced CAD software, such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Fusion 360, to create precise and detailed 3D models. My designs are not just visually accurate but are also optimized for functionality and manufacturability. I can take your ideas and concepts and turn them into fully functional designs that are ready for prototyping and production. 2. Product Development: My experience spans the entire product development lifecycle, from initial concept design to final production. I excel in taking a product idea from the drawing board through to completion, ensuring that each stage is meticulously planned and executed. I work closely with clients to understand their needs and translate them into practical, efficient designs that meet all specified requirements. 3. Prototyping and Testing: I utilize 3D printing and other rapid prototyping techniques to create physical models of designs, allowing for thorough testing and iteration. This approach ensures that potential issues are identified and addressed early in the development process, resulting in a final product that is both high-quality and reliable. 4. Sheet Metal Design: My specialized knowledge in sheet metal design allows me to create parts and assemblies that are not only functional but also cost-effective and easy to manufacture. I am experienced in designing for various fabrication techniques, including bending, cutting, and welding, ensuring that the final product is robust and meets all necessary specifications. 5. Engineering Drawings and DXF Files: I produce detailed engineering drawings and DXF files that are essential for the manufacturing process. These documents are created with precision, ensuring that all necessary details are clearly communicated to the fabrication team. My drawings are compliant with industry standards and include all relevant information, such as dimensions, tolerances, and material specifications. 6. Design for Manufacturing (DFM): One of my key strengths is my ability to design products with manufacturability in mind. I focus on creating designs that are not only functional and aesthetically pleasing but also optimized for efficient manufacturing. This involves considering factors such as material selection, ease of assembly, and cost-effectiveness from the very beginning of the design process. Accomplishments: 1. Successful Product Launches: Throughout my career, I have successfully led multiple product development projects from concept to market launch. One of my notable achievements includes the development of a cutting-edge machine for Keencut, where I integrated the latest technological advancements to improve performance and user experience. This product received excellent feedback and contributed to the company's reputation for innovation. 2. Design Optimization: I have a proven track record of optimizing existing designs to enhance their performance and efficiency. For example, I redesigned a key component in an industrial machine, reducing its manufacturing cost by 15% while improving its durability and ease of assembly. This redesign was implemented across the product line, leading to significant cost savings for the company. 3. Prototyping and Testing: In one of my recent projects, I used 3D printing to prototype a complex assembly for a new product. This approach allowed for rapid testing and iteration, ultimately leading to a final design that met all functional requirements and could be produced within budget and on schedule. The successful prototyping phase was a critical factor in the project’s overall success. 4. Collaboration and Teamwork: I have worked collaboratively with cross-functional teams, including manufacturing engineers, marketing teams, and quality assurance professionals, to bring products from concept to reality. My ability to communicate effectively with different stakeholders has been instrumental in ensuring that projects are completed on time and within scope. Education and Professional Development: I hold a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, which provided me with a solid foundation in the principles of design, mechanics, and materials science. I have continued to build on this foundation through ongoing professional development, including
