About
Hi! I'm Product/CAD designer and fabricator with 8 years of expertise. I do PCB enclosure/shell/case designs, mechanical designs, and Autodesk Fusion 360 lessons.
↓↓↓ Please check below for more information about each service ↓↓↓
🤖ELECTRONIC/PCB ENCLOSURES/SHELLS/CASES🤖
• Design of any type of enclosure, from simple setups with 2 to 4 components to complex electronics assemblies requiring enclosure, waterproofing, and ventilation.
• Suitable for any usage: consumer, professional, or special applications.
• Designed for any environmental requirements: indoor, outdoor, or mixed use.
• Compatible with various manufacturing techniques, including but not limited to 3D printing, CNC, and mass production.
⚙️ MECHANICAL ASSEMBLIES ⚙️ (check the Mechanical Engineering section of my profile)
• Kinematic systems & motion mechanisms
• Drivetrains, gear assemblies, and power transmission
• Belt, chain, and gear-based systems
• Linkages, cams, pulleys, and mechanical timing setups
• Custom actuators and motion control design
FUSION 360 LESSONS
🚀 I’ve taught everyone from curious teens to seniors, and designed courses for top institutions like HSE Design School, ITHub College, and more. I’ve led hands-on workshops for Intel, Raiffeisen, EdCrunch, DevPro, and beyond.
🎯 No matter your age or background — this course is for you. Learn at your own pace, build real skills, and bring your creative ideas to life!
💡 My lessons are fun, practical, and fully personalized.
Whether you're starting from scratch or leveling up, I’ll guide you through real-world projects and Fusion 360 essentials:
🧠 3 Fundamental approaches to 3D modeling
✏️ 2D Sketch, Constraints, Project on Surface, Project Intersect
🔧 Basic 3D modeling: Extrude, Cut, Split, Combine
🧰 Advanced Modeling: Loft, Sweep, Pattern
🛠️ Modifiers: Fillet, Chamfer, Press/Pull, Offset face
🔄 Components, Assemblies & motion studies
🖼️ Rendering & animation

Design & Manufacturing EngineerLos Angeles, CASep 2024 - Jun 2025 (9 months)Providing comprehensive support for all CAD and design for
manufacturing processes, working on a wide range of projects.
Not only conducting preliminary CAD design but also adapting designs
for manufacturing, performing structural simulations, and carrying out
field tests to ensure optimal results.
Refined design details and dimensions of pitching dummy components to
optimize shipping constraints, reducing potential costs.
Prepared the design for manufacturing using rotomolding, delivering
high-quality 3D models in .stp and .stl formats.
Tools: Fusion 360. -
Product DesignerOct 2024 - Feb 2025 (4 months)Created an ultra-lightweight, compact enclosure (under 30g) for
electronics, integrating a slide-in design to eliminate screws.
Accommodated 10 components in tight clearances, incorporating a PTFE
membrane for watertightness and airflow.
Tools: Fusion 360. Duration: completed, with over 40 job hours.. -
Product Designer & CNC expertSmartwatch design for Private clientDec 2024 - Jan 2025 (1 month)Adapted a conceptual 3D model of a Tom Clancy's Division 2 watch into a functional enclosure for the open-source ZSWatch.
Reworked the design to align with real-world hardware dimensions,
creating seating for components and buttons.
Designed a custom mechanical flap mechanism to cover the camera and
microphone, enabling control through the same interface buttons.
Proposed CNC machining as the primary manufacturing method for the
enclosure.
Tools: Fusion 360, Blender. -
CAD DesignerKRIMINAL THOUGHT CUSTOM MOTO PARTSLos Angeles, CANov 2024 - Dec 2024 (1 month)Designed a custom decorative part based on client sketches,
manufactured a prototype using 3D printing for fit tests.
Enhanced the aesthetic appeal of Harley Davidson motorcycles.
Tools: Fusion 360, 3D printing. Duration: 1 month (10 job hours). -
CAD Designer/Mechanical EngineeringSep 2024 - Dec 2024 (3 months)Converted a Rhino 3D surface model of a giant Popsicle inflatable slide
into a multi-color solid 3D model optimized for 3D printing.
Overcame challenges with the top popsicle parts using Blender, adding 8
hours of refinement work to achieve solid geometry.
Delivered a high-quality model divided into three distinct colors for
printing, ready for demonstration purposes.
Tools: Rhino 3D, Fusion 360, Blender. Duration: Approx. 16 hours.
