About

I am a seasoned mechanical design engineer with 15 years of experience in creating innovative and functional designs. My expertise spans across multiple software platforms, including Siemens NX, Fusion360, and Blender, coupled with a strong background in 3D printing and advanced manufacturing processes.

I have a passion for 3D printing, leveraging FDM printers for a variety of applications such as decorative designs, sculptures, and functional parts for both indoor and outdoor use. My experience also includes working with SLS and MJF technologies. I possess a deep understanding of how design must adapt to various manufacturing processes, whether it’s CNC machining, injection molding, or 3D printing. Each process profoundly influences design choices, and I excel at optimizing designs to align with specific manufacturing requirements.

In my career, I have gained hands-on experience working with CNC machines, developing designs for injection molding, and adhering to guidelines that balance material properties with cost efficiency. I understand how design decisions drive mold costs, process costs, and ultimately the part cost. For 3D printing, I specialize in harnessing the unique advantages of additive manufacturing, delivering innovative solutions that traditional methods often cannot achieve.

I approach every project with a clear focus on the final goal, ensuring the path to achieving it is efficient and effective. I enjoy challenging conventional methods to discover design improvements that enhance the end product—whether by adding functionality, implementing poka-yoke (error-proofing) principles, or optimizing for manufacturing. My goal is to deliver designs that are not only functional and cost-effective but also push the boundaries of innovation and excellence.
