Werkervaring
Lead Industrial Designer & CAD Engineer
Electronicx • Freelance
Apr 2026 - Present • 4 mos
Led end-to-end product development and 3D CAD modeling for hardware startups, inventors, and consumer electronics brands. Transformed rough conceptual sketches into high-fidelity, market-ready 3D solid models using SolidWorks and Fusion 360. Key Achievements: • Engineered 14+ consumer product enclosures specifically optimized for plastic injection molding and snap-fit assembly, reducing factory rejection rates by 22%. • Collaborated directly with tooling manufacturers in the US and Asia to ensure seamless handoffs of STEP files and detailed engineering blueprints. • Maintained a 100% success rate in translating complex industrial design aesthetics into structurally sound mechanical assemblies.
CNC Vector Designer & Technical Drafter
VectorStock • Freelance
Feb 2025 - Present • 1 yr 6 mos
Engineered high-precision 2D DXF, DWG, and SVG vector files for industrial CNC laser cutting, plasma, and router machines. Converted complex client sketches, low-resolution raster images, and technical drawings into manufacturing-ready vector paths with zero line intersections or open loops. Key Achievements & Responsibilities: Optimized cutting paths and kerf compensation to reduce machine run times and material waste by up to 15%. Performed precise node editing, vector tracing, and logo redraws for fabricators, signmakers, and woodworkers. Prepared clean nesting layouts for sheet metal and acrylic cutting projects while ensuring strict dimensional accuracy.
Senior Mechanical Design Engineer
Self Employed • Freelance
Apr 2022 - Present • 4 yrs 4 mos
Specialized in mechanical engineering, reverse engineering, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM). Handled complex mechanical assemblies, sheet metal structures, and high-precision CNC machined parts. Key Achievements: • Successfully converted 40+ legacy 2D blueprints and legacy STL meshes into parametric, fully editable 3D CAD STEP files ready for CNC production. • Generated strict ISO-compliant 2D technical drawings, geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T), and detailed Bill of Materials (BOM) for high-stakes factory floor production. • Optimized sheet metal chassis designs, cutting material waste by 15% and streamlining laser-cutting setups for manufacturing partners.
