What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on design or CAD role where I can apply solar and drafting expertise, improve processes, and contribute to efficient, code-compliant project delivery.

I am an industrial designer and CAD drafter with broad hands-on experience across solar design, elevator drafting, and commercial fabrication. I combine technical drafting skills with practical field experience, from managing worksites to performing technical billing and auditing.

My career includes roles as a solar designer using AutoCAD and Aurora, a CADDrafter for home elevators, and CAD technician work for pharmaceutical wall panels using TurboCAD. I have a track record of producing accurate plansets, reviewing and approving designs, and improving departmental efficiency.

I have supported operations beyond drafting: billing coordination with major clients, office and warehouse management, and on-site foreman responsibilities. I have also completed internships in illustration, which strengthened my conceptual and visualization skills.

I value clear, standards-driven design and practical execution. I seek roles where I can apply CAD expertise, solar and electrical knowledge, and process-improvement experience to deliver reliable, code-compliant designs and help teams run more efficiently.
