I design fabrication-ready mechanical equipment and automate CAD workflows for faster project delivery.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've owned agricultural and food-processing equipment projects at JM Construction & Engineering from customer job walks through fabrication drawings and final handoff. I designed custom metal structures and equipment in Inventor and AutoCAD while balancing customer requirements, manufacturability, cost, and material efficiency.
At Siegfried Engineering, I built and extended a CSV-to-CAD automation pipeline in Civil 3D that reduced manual production drafting time by an estimated 60–70%. I also process survey data in Trimble Business Center, create topographic and boundary deliverables, and coordinate projects through final QA.
My experience also includes designing HVAC, water, and gas distribution systems for high-rise projects at Iron Mechanical, including 3D coordination models that resolved construction collisions before installation.
I'm equally comfortable designing in CAD and scoping work in the field, and I bring hands-on fabrication knowledge, mechanical engineering training, and process-minded systems thinking to teams building real things.
