SKILLS & CONTEXT
These are transferable capabilities used across engineering, fabrication, operations, and independent project work. The experience above shows where they developed without limiting them to a single position.
CorelDRAW and EnRoute are the named design tools in the LinkedIn profile's Top Skills section.
Fusion, Rhino, Grasshopper, SketchUp, and VCarve are supported by the project portfolio and Tool Crib.
PROJECTS BEHIND THE PROFILE
Fusion reverse engineering, targeted geometry changes, TPU printing, and machine installation.
Reported 90-day trial, retained grip, and $35 per-unit replacement versus the stated original $45–$65 range. Original photos, videos, drawing, and saved variants.
Printer assembly and integration, with shared M8P-related modifications.
A blue-and-pink printer, a satisfying homing sequence, and a set of M8P-related parts shared on GitHub.
Concept development, CNC learning and fabrication.
A custom cherry music stand, a carved bagpipe motif, and a good reason to learn CNC.
Room modeling, drawing production, and owner-documented project development.
A Fusion room model paired with the actual basement construction: exposed drains, supply lines, and the tiled shower that followed. The bathroom now exists in our house.
Custom-fit board fabrication and reinforcement/adjustment detailing.
A thin end-grain board made to an exact RV-sink size, with stainless threaded hardware for reinforcement and adjustment.
Modification implementation, publication and guidance.
A screw-adjustable housing that reuses the Qidi Plus4 tensioner spring, turning a fixed stock arrangement into something a maker can adjust.
Data retrieval, aggregation and chart-component integration.
My chart and data-visualization contribution to a collaborative React and TypeScript application.
