What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on CAD/design roles in aerospace or industrial projects where I can apply SolidWorks and drafting expertise, collaborate with engineers, and contribute to flight- or production-ready designs.

I am a Mechanical CAD Designer with hands-on experience producing detailed 2D and 3D engineering drawings for aerospace and industrial projects, including flight-approved components following ASME Y14.5-2018 and GD&T standards.

At Axiom Space I created over 500 fully detailed SolidWorks models and parts for AXHab 1 and AXEVA PWR systems, completed Preliminary and Critical Design reviews, and redesigned external tube routing while collaborating closely with mechanical and electrical engineers.

I bring strong drafting skills across AutoCAD, Plant 3D, Revit, Inventor, Creo, and Autodesk Vault, plus experience in estimating timelines, supporting MOC drawing revisions, customer-facing roles, leadership through coaching and mission work, and practical woodworking and custom design.
