Michael K.

Mechanical Design Engineer | Production-Ready CAD & Documentation

I help manufacturers and product companies turn engineering concepts into organized, production-ready CAD packages. With over six years of experience using Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, and SolidWorks, I've designed custom industrial equipment, sheet metal assemblies, weldments, and manufacturing drawings for made-to-order machinery. You can expect organized engineering packages that are easy to manufacture. That includes detailed drawings, clean bills of materials, revision control, purchased components, and vendor-ready DXF, STEP, and PDF files. I take pride in keeping CAD data structured and easy to maintain. Beyond CAD, I've worked closely with purchasing, production, sales, and other engineers to guide projects from kickoff through manufacturing. My experience includes coordinating schedules, supporting production, resolving design issues, and ensuring engineering documentation stays accurate throughout the project. If you're looking for someone who values accuracy, organization, and clear communication, I'd be happy to discuss your project.
