● Delivered multiple mechanical design projects on a contract basis, working directly with clients to understand requirements, present solutions, and iterate designs. ● Created detailed 3D CAD models and assemblies using SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, and Siemens NX. ● Produced accurate 2D manufacturing drawings and documentation for fabrication, adhering to industry standards and tolerances. ● Performed R&D and reverse engineering on legacy parts and systems to develop new design solutions or improve existing components. ● Prototyped, assembled, and tested mechanical components to ensure proper fit, function, and manufacturability. ● Engaged with clients from non-engineering backgrounds, effectively communicating technical concepts and design decisions to ensure alignment and clarity. ● Developed strong project management, communication, and client-facing skills through end-to-end project ownership. ● Pursued additional technical interests, including laser engraving and 3D printing, leading to the creation of a small home-based business producing custom mechanical art pieces and prototypes
Worked in a fast-paced engineering environment focused on the design and detailing of railway and transit platform systems. Utilized SolidWorks to develop 3D assemblies, individual components, and detailed 2D drawings for fabrication. Collaborated with multidisciplinary engineering teams to achieve client-specified design objectives. Used AutoCAD to overlay completed 3D models, ensuring dimensional accuracy and proper fit of designs. Participated in project kickoff meetings with both external clients and internal stakeholders. Reviewed and approved drawings for fabrication at local production facilities. Conducted regular visits to the fabrication facility to verify quality, dimensional accuracy, and design integrity of manufactured platforms. Worked closely with assembly staff to improve workflows and streamline the assembly process.
