You have a hardware idea — or a prototype that needs to actually ship. That's where I come in. I'm a Top Rated+ mechanical and product design engineer with 9+ years turning concepts into production-ready hardware. I specialize in electronic enclosures, mechanical assemblies, and design-for-manufacturing — for funded startups, engineering teams, and hardware founders who can't afford to get this wrong. Currently embedded with an $8M Reg CF–backed hardware company, I bring the same rigor and speed you'd expect from an in-house senior engineer — without the overhead. What I deliver: — Custom enclosures & housings (PCB, IoT, consumer, industrial) — Mechanical assemblies: drivetrains, linkages, motion systems, actuators — Full DFM optimization for 3D printing, CNC, and injection molding — Investor-ready prototypes and production-ready CAD packages — 2D engineering drawings and tolerance specs I work directly with founders, CTOs, and engineering leads. I communicate clearly, move fast, and deliver files you can actually hand to a manufacturer. Tools: Fusion 360 (advanced) If you're building hardware and need it done right — let's talk.
