Summary

I have more than 35 years of hands-on experience in the design and development of special-purpose machines, fixtures, and production systems. My work includes not only mechanical design, but also solid modeling, converting 2D drawings into 3D models, and creating clear technical documentation in line with GPS standards, as well as reverse engineering. I have earned an excellent reputation for solving complex design challenges precisely and reliably.

I am highly skilled in using 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 to combine different engineering disciplines and develop solutions that drive innovation in the industry.

As a rule, I do not accept inquiries from the defense sector!
