Objective

To utilize my technical and creative gifts as an artistic mechanical/Industrial designer to create products that are attractive, marketable and functional. To see the success of the corporations I support with my talents in the field of industrial design. And with that ability and knowledge in the world of complex modeling procedures, produce products that are a success for those corporations and that they meet and exceed their demands.

Qualifications

Over twenty years of mechanical design and drafting experience on the board as a foundation to proceeding into the world of computer aided design. Having been gifted with the natural artistic ability and a love for mechanics and mathematics compels me to combine the two for a more innovative design. I have been trained in GD&T from ASME and have implemented the knowledge in the field of the Industrial/Mechanical design world. Also, my love for 3D-CAD led me to experiment and compare a vast number of systems to see which was the most effective and efficient, this has enabled me to be proficient in:

Autodesk Alias Surface/ Inventor Pro

Siemens NX

Pro/Engineer (CREO ISDX)

CATIA V5-6R2017

Adobe Suite

Geomagic

This has enabled me to achieve complex modeling techniques such as G2 surface continuity or Class-A surfacing.
