Summary

I have over 35 years of practical experience in designing and developing custom machines, fixtures, and production equipment. My work includes, besides mechanical design, volume modeling, converting 2D drawings into 3D models, and creating clear technical documentation according to GPS standards, as well as reverse engineering. I have earned an outstanding reputation for accurately and reliably solving complex design challenges.

I am proficient with the latest SolidWorks tools, with my own license for mechanical and sheet metal design, drawing tools, and FEM simulations. My experience in welding and electrical engineering also helps me integrate different engineering disciplines and develop solutions that drive innovation in the industry.

As a principle, I do not accept requests from the defense sector!
