Mechanical Design Engineer | 20+ Years | Heavy Equipment, Cranes, Mining & Special Machines
Mechanical Design Engineer with 20+ years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, engineering, system integration, vehicle integration, and development of heavy and special-purpose machinery.
I specialize in taking a concept from initial engineering and calculations through 3D design, detailed manufacturing drawings, BOM, structural analysis, and production-ready design.
My experience covers heavy transportation, ODC trailers, cranes, construction equipment, underground mining equipment, conveyors, AGVs, and special-purpose machines.

Why Work With Me?
With 20+ years of engineering experience, I understand not only how to create a 3D model, but how to develop a design that can actually be manufactured, assembled, operated, maintained, and integrated into a complete machine or vehicle.
I bring practical engineering experience from heavy machinery, cranes, transportation systems, underground mining equipment, and special-purpose machines to every project.
If you have a challenging mechanical design problem, a new machine concept, or an existing machine that needs to be redesigned or improved, I can help take it from concept to a practical, production-ready solution.
