I am a mechanical engineer looking for side projects. I have 25 years experience in engineering and custom machine design. I worked for Fortune 500 multinationals as well as startups. My experience is in the design and development of novel machines, instruments, automated equipment, automated processes, mechanisms and gadgets, in fields including biotechnology, robotics, medical devices, food processing, pharmaceuticals, packaging, industrial carpentry, industrial cleaners, consumer electronics, and telecommunication.
I can also create machine electrical schematics and small PLC or Arduino programs and can partner with local consultants when other specialties, such as LabView and Complex PLC programming, Electrical, or PCB Design are needed.
With years of experience in manufacturing, fabrication, welding, and injection molding, I can provide guidance to minimize costs during fabrication.
