Contract Mechanical Engineering

Experience

With over 30 years of experience in mechanical engineering—specializing in product development, system architecture, and R&D—I am eager to bring my skills and expertise to your team. My extensive background in 3D CAD design using SolidWorks and ProEngineer/Creo, combined with a proven track record of developing innovative products and systems across industries such as consumer electronics, medical, aerospace, and marine electric vehicles, allows me to adapt to a wide range of challenges.

Notable achievements include holding over 20 issued and pending patents and leading the design of a complete EV marine drivetrain. My ability to drive projects from concept to production, along with deep expertise in materials science and manufacturing processes, makes me a strong candidate to contribute meaningfully to your team.
