At a sawmill machinery manufacturer in Portugal, I created 3D models and 2D drawings in Inventor and AutoCAD, turning engineering designs into accurate CAD. I also produced detail and assembly drawings and bills of materials for manufacturing.

I wrote instruction manuals for machines and partly completed machinery, and created electrical and hydraulic schematics. Following production on the shop floor showed me how a drawing behaves once it is built.

With WheelXpert, I took a mechanical kit that adapts to any manual wheelchair from idea to working prototype. The project won Most Innovative Idea in the Mobility category at a worldwide start-up competition.
