What I'm looking for

I seek roles in product design, manufacturing, or automation where I can lead multidisciplinary teams, apply CAD/FEA expertise to deliver cost-effective, manufacturable solutions, and grow technically; I am geographically flexible and open to travel.

I am a Mechatronics Engineer with a Master’s in Manufacturing Systems, focused on mechanical design, CAD/CAE, and end-to-end project leadership. At HERSA I led multidisciplinary teams and drove process improvements that increased on-time completion by 15% and reduced technical errors by 20%.

I design and optimize components using SolidWorks and Inventor, prototype PCBs with KiCad and Eagle, and perform FEA in ANSYS to improve durability and manufacturability. I manage BOMs, apply DFM for injection molding and vacuum forming, and deliver cost-effective, timely solutions while collaborating across engineering, software, and electronics teams.
