I've spent the last 10+ years designing products, solving manufacturing problems, and supporting engineering teams across automotive and industrial sectors.
Most of my work revolves around projects that require more than just CAD modeling—reverse engineering worn or legacy parts, preparing production-ready designs, optimizing sheet metal components, developing tooling, creating fixtures, or helping clients move from prototype to production.
I regularly work with CATIA V5, Siemens NX, SolidWorks, Creo, Inventor and other professional CAD systems. Besides mechanical design, I develop CATIA automation tools and macros, work with 3D scan data, rebuild complex geometry, and create clean parametric models suitable for manufacturing.
My experience includes Body-in-White engineering, tooling, manufacturing engineering, reverse engineering, optical systems, LIDAR devices, industrial products, and custom machine design. I've contributed to projects for companies such as Daimler, Freightliner, BMW, Volkswagen, Western Star, Kia and numerous confidential development programs.
I work comfortably as an extension of an existing engineering team or independently on complete product development projects. Clear communication, practical engineering decisions and production-ready deliverables are what clients usually expect from me—and exactly what I deliver.
