Mechanical design and engineering support—from an early concept or undocumented part to manufacturing drawings and production implementation.

More than 15 years of experience in mechanical design, product development, tooling, industrial equipment, manufacturing support, and plant engineering.

Modular hydraulic bolt-tightening tools arranged around a large industrial flange for simultaneous tightening.
Custom industrial equipment designed around established tools, processes, and operating requirements.

Engineering needs

Where to start

Need a product designed for production?

Develop a mechanical product

Product concepts, mechanisms, component design, CAD, manufacturing drawings, and production release.

A commercial accessory kit developed around an existing industrial torque-tool interface, including a new reaction head, three interchangeable reaction configurations, a 12-position indexing system, kit contents, and production documentation.

Need custom equipment?

Build custom equipment

Machinery, industrial assemblies, test stands, and equipment designed around specific operating requirements.

A purpose-built stand developed to securely hold and pressure-test manufactured components under controlled production conditions.

Missing drawings or CAD?

Recreate a part or assembly

Reverse engineering, replacement CAD, manufacturing documentation, and support returning undocumented components to production.

An undocumented overmolded component was sectioned and measured to recreate its internal steel insert, manufacturing drawings, mold tooling, procurement requirements, and production process.

View work example

Production problem on the floor?

Solve a manufacturing problem

Fixtures, workholding, tooling, design changes, and practical production support.

A precision locating and machining fixture developed to add a critical sealing groove to overmolded aluminum components and recover otherwise unusable parts.

How I can help

Engagement

01

Understand the problem

02

Develop the design

03

Document for manufacturing

04

Support implementation

Clients can approach with an early concept, an existing component, or a production problem. Support can cover a specific stage or a broader scope. Not every engagement is the full process.

Experience

Mechanical design for manufacturers and industrial companies

I am a mechanical engineer with more than 15 years of experience. Mechanical design has been the core of my career—parts, assemblies, mechanisms, tooling, and equipment for manufacturers and industrial companies.

I have spent years supporting production in machine shops, fabrication departments, assembly lines, and plant maintenance.
