I turn one-off machines and metal products into standard product lines that cost less to build. Mechanical engineer with 8+ years in sheet-metal products, metal frames and heavy machinery. Former Head of Structural Validation at a European hydropower turbine maker; 20+ machines delivered in 7+ countries. I lead a small team of drafters, mechanical engineers and simulation engineers. RESULTS • ~80% lower rotor cost by replacing cast blades with press-brake sheet metal, one weld per blade • ~50% lower cost on a standardized truck-scale range • A product concept turned into 4 standard sizes, all sheet metal, one assembly kit • Standard turbine ranges from 5 to 160 kW, with full CE documentation WHAT I DELIVER • Productization: standard product families, parametric SolidWorks, scaling automated from a size table • Cost optimization: DFM and DFA, fewer parts and welds, simpler assembly, less maintenance • Sheet-metal design: self-locating tab-and-slot parts, castings and machined parts converted to laser and press brake • Strength validation: hand calculations and FEA, including topology and weight optimization • Full documentation: manufacturing drawings, DXF/STEP files, BOMs, validation reports, CE and ISO documentation • Supply chain: standard-parts procurement, quotations, and direct management of suppliers and fabrication shops in Europe, the US and China • Custom calculators and automation files for your products HOW I WORK A short call, a fixed scope and price, weekly progress, and a release package your fabricator builds from. NDA on request.
