Nikolai B.

I turn product ideas into things a factory can actually build — and that people actually buy. $1M+ in Amazon sales. $20,000+ in Kickstarter funding. Multiple patents filed. Every one of them from a CAD model on my screen. I’m a mechanical engineer with 10+ years of experience, including 5 years designing pump systems for the oil and chemical industry — equipment with zero tolerance for failure. I bring that same manufacturing discipline to every product I design now, whether it’s a consumer gadget headed for Kickstarter or an industrial mechanism that needs to run for years without breaking down. Results clients can point to: ✔️Took a startup’s pellet-boiler concept from sketch to a funded prototype and investor backing ✔️Designed a hybrid unmanned ground vehicle for a defense client, with mechanisms not previously used in that market ✔️Helped multiple Kickstarter campaigns raise $20,000+ by making sure the CAD matched what a factory could actually build ✔️Designed products behind $1M+ in Amazon sales What I bring to your project: ✔️DFM-first mechanical design — built for manufacturing, not just for looks ✔️FEA / structural simulation (Ansys, SolidWorks, Fusion 360) ✔️Manufacturing drawings, BOMs, and CNC/CAM programming ✔️Reverse-engineering from 3D scans ✔️Concept design and industrial design, start to finish Software: SolidWorks · Fusion 360 · Autodesk Inventor · Siemens NX · AutoCAD · Ansys · Geomagic Design X I respond fast, I’m direct about what will and won’t survive manufacturing, and 80% of my clients come back for their next product. If you have an idea that needs to become a real, sellable, manufacturable product — let’s talk.
