@gavinhanka
I’m a Product Engineer focused on turning design ideas into usable CAD deliverables.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Product Engineer currently working on a fully overhauled Product Catalog, creating 3D models and 2D drawings for custom sheet metal panels. I work directly with customers to help design roof plans and layouts, and I coordinate with coworkers on projects and deadlines.
Previously, I was a CAD Engineer at Caterpillar, designing components for underground mining machines and creating high quality drawings and models for different applications. I also bring an IT background as an Internet Technician—working hybrid on-site and remote—where I practiced problem solving, finding flaws in software, and strong customer communication.
