Senior Mechanical Engineer | Product Design Expert | 15+ Years of Experience in 3D Modeling, Product Development & Innovation
I’m a practicing Senior Mechanical Engineer with an M.S. in Engineering and over 15 years of hands-on experience in product design, 3D modeling, and development across a wide range of industries. My background blends deep technical knowledge with artistic creativity, giving me a unique ability to engineer beautiful, functional, and manufacturable products. Whether you’re a startup founder with just a sketch on a napkin or a large company scaling up production, I help bring ideas to life—with precision, innovation, and an obsessive attention to detail.
WHAT I DO BEST:
- Industrial/Product Design (concept sketching + design ideation)
- 3D CAD Modeling (Fusion 360, Inventor, AutoCAD)
- High-Resolution 3D Rendering (photo-realistic visuals)
- 2D Engineering Drawings (ASME Y14.5 compliant)
- Tech Packs & Patent Illustrations
- Sheet Metal Design (including DXF files with bend/cut lines)
- Assemblies with Detailed BOMs
- 3D Simulation & FEA (stress/strain, fatigue, CFD, center of gravity, and more)
- Dynamic Motion Simulation
- DFM & DFT Consulting (injection molding, CNC, casting, forming, etc.)
- Mold Design
- 3D Model Reconstruction from Physical Parts
- 3D Scanning Integration
TOOLS I USE:
- Autodesk Inventor (primary)
- Autodesk Fusion 360
- AutoCAD
- Blender
WHAT SETS ME APART:
I’m not just a designer—I’m a problem solver and product thinker. Prior to shifting focus to my freelance work, I launched my own hardware startup, taking original designs from concept to mass production. I understand the full product lifecycle and the pressures of cost, timelines, and manufacturing constraints. That experience allows me to deliver designs that aren’t just innovative—they’re feasible, practical, and ready for production.
My work spans consumer products, wearables, jewelry, robotics, mechanical tools, sports gear, soft goods, art pieces, phone accessories, and much more. I’ve worked with everyone from passionate solo inventors to corporations manufacturing hundreds of SKUs per year.
