Industrial Engineer | Product & Mechanical Designer | PLC Programming

I’m an Industrial Engineer with over five years’ experience in product design, mechanical and civil drafting, and end-to-end CAD development. I take product ideas from concept through detailed design and produce clean, manufacturable models using SolidWorks, Inventor, Revit, AutoCAD and VectorWorks. I keep design and drafting best practices up to date and pride myself on delivering efficient, attractive, and user-focused products. Beyond mechanical design, I also deliver industrial automation solutions. I’m skilled in PLC programming (ladder logic, function block, structured text), HMI/SCADA integration, PLC commissioning and troubleshooting, and industrial communications (e.g., Modbus/TCP). I link mechanical designs to control systems so the final product is not only well-built but smart and easy to operate.
