What I'm looking for

I am looking for remote roles in technical design or 3D modeling where I can produce production-ready CAD files, improve manufacturing workflows, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and continue developing both design and software automation skills.

I am a Technical Designer focused on CAD and 3D modeling, with hands-on experience using AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Fusion 360 to produce technical drawings and 3D designs for manufacturing and construction. My background in IT complements my design work, enabling me to develop internal tools and automate production workflows.

I have practical industry experience preparing files for CNC and waterjet cutting, creating production orders, and guiding production teams to ensure designs are manufacturable. I have worked in the stone industry and in printing, delivering production-ready assets and managing communication with international clients.

I seek remote opportunities in technical design, 3D modeling, and industrial or architectural drafting where I can apply my technical precision, software skills, and collaborative approach to improve production efficiency and design quality.
