A Product Design Engineer with a strong belief in "form follows function." My work is driven by the idea that aesthetics and engineering must coexist, creating products that are both visually compelling and functionally optimized. I bring together creativity, technical expertise, and engineering precision to develop well-balanced and manufacturable designs.

From a creative and artistic perspective, I focus on designing aesthetically refined products and presenting them with high-quality, photorealistic renders. Using tools like KeyShot, SolidWorks Visualize, and V-Ray, I ensure that every design is showcased with clarity, realism, and a strong visual identity.

On the technical side, I specialize in multiple CAD systems, mastering tools like SolidWorks, Creo, and Rhinoceros to efficiently model, analyze, and refine complex designs. I continuously explore ways to optimize workflows, automate design processes, and push the boundaries of CAD efficiency.

From an engineering standpoint, I have a strong background in math, physics, and STEM, excelling in courses that reinforce my ability to develop manufacturable and cost-efficient products. I ensure my designs are production-ready by leveraging CAM tools like NX, Fusion, and Vericut to simulate manufacturing processes and validate feasibility.

I thrive at the intersection of design and engineering, always seeking to create products that balance aesthetics, function, and manufacturability.
