Profile
Structural/Design Engineer with software background. Several years of self-driven projects, taken
functional parts from idea to Fusion 360 modeling to printed, tested and improved prototype, including
reverse-engineering OEM parts. Four years of backend Python development, including tech-lead roles,
taught me to own a project end to end, turn stakeholder needs into technical solutions and document
decisions clearly. I enjoy turning an idea into a physical part that works.

Engineering Projects
Grass trimmer spool cap Fusion 360

● Measured and reverse-engineered, a broken OEM cap of a trimmer line head successfully rebuilt
its geometry as a 3D model in Fusion 360.
● Matched the mating features of the trimmer head (thread, latches) so the printed replacement
installs with no modification.

PC case side panels Fusion 360

● Designed custom side panels for a PC case built into a custom-made wooden frame, fitted to its
existing mounting points.
● Modelled the panels from measurements of the frame and mounting points, then printed and
test-fitted them in place.

SSD enclosure Fusion 360

● Made an enclosure for a 2.5" SATA SSD around the drive's dimensions, with a cut-out for the
connector [and ventilation].
● Printed and test-fitted the enclosure on the drive

Movable pantry lamp Fusion 360

● Designed an adjustable stand that lets the pantry light be repositioned ([rotates / slides / tilts]) to
light different shelves.
