CAD Specialist / Mechanical Designer Teknion Toronto, ON September 2021 – May 2025

• Defeatured, modified, and optimized complex SolidWorks assemblies, mating configurations, and configurations to build high-performance, manufacturing-ready design catalogs.

• Executed mechanical component revisions, part redesigns, and detailed documentation in alignment with rigid Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) using AutoCAD Mechanical.

• Performed precise engineering design analysis and quality control reviews on 3D data, proactively resolving object interferences, structural mismatches, and material mapping variations.

• Developed and audited complex Bills of Materials (BOMs) and project documentation to ensure zero-error synchronization with manufacturing floor databases and vendor specifications.

• Utilized 3D parametric models to construct comprehensive, clear assembly views and detailed installation guides for the high-end architectural wall and pod portfolios.

• Partnered cross-functionally with Product Development Engineers to transform strict engineering parameters into detailed technical specifications, ensuring high-quality, reproducible factory outputs.

• Spearheaded the training and onboarding of new engineering hires on advanced CAD design standards, publishing cycles, and cross-functional technology integrations. Product Designer & Estimator (Co-op) Teksign Inc. Brantford, ON Feb 2016 – Aug 2016 & May 2017 – Aug 2017

• Engineered custom commercial metal, structural tooling, and sheet metal configurations using AutoCAD Mechanical, ensuring product durability, safety, and strict visual standard adherence.

• Evaluated how early-stage design decisions fundamentally influenced fabrication, welding, machining, assembly, structural quality, and overall automated product performance.

• Utilized precision measuring devices to sketch and capture physical details of existing tooling, converting data into accurate, formalized 2D/3D working drawings.

• Generated precise material take-offs and processed labor and material cost estimations using enterprise ERP frameworks (Made2Manage to E2 Shop System migration).

• Conducted on-site technical structural surveys to verify mechanical installation feasibility, safety margins, and compliance before moving designs to active fabrication floor fabrication. EDUCATION

Master of Mechanical Engineering – Automation Systems Western University (2019)

• Applied advanced lean manufacturing theories and structural floor optimization techniques.

• Utilized Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation and SimTalk 2.0 to evaluate, model, and streamline automated operational layouts and material routing protocols. Bachelor of Technology – Process Automation McMaster University (2017)

• Joint 4.5-year engineering program including an Advanced Diploma in Engineering Technology (Mohawk College) and a Graduate Certificate in Business Management. CERTIFICATIONS & KEY PROJECTS

• Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP) – Advanced Surfacing (Certificate ID validated)

• Automated Workcell Development: Programmed industrial FESTO manufacturing units and multi-axis ABB industrial robotics lines using MELFA IV environments.
