About the founder
Engineering leadership grounded in the details.
With more than 10 years of mechanical design experience, I work closely with clients and our engineering team from the initial brief through design review and delivery.
My work covers custom machinery, material handling systems, lifting equipment, production lines and design automation. I focus on how a machine will be manufactured, assembled, operated and maintained, as well as how clearly its design can be communicated.
At GMD Engineering, I coordinate technical direction, review key decisions and help clients define the CAD models, drawings, bills of materials and supporting analysis they need for their next project stage.
Technical focus
Where I contribute most.
Areas I lead and contribute to at GMD Engineering, serving machine builders, manufacturers and system integrators.
Conveyors & lifting
Transfer, storage and lifting systems developed around payload, space and operating requirements.
3D CAD & drawings
Structured models, detailed drawings and BOMs that make review and manufacturing easier.
FEA & motion
Calculations and simulation when needed to check structural behavior or mechanism movement.
Inventor & iLogic
Configurable assemblies and repeatable workflows for machine variants and documentation.
Engineering coordination
Clear scope, practical design reviews and communication between technical stakeholders.
How I work with clients
Clear decisions at each design stage.
I review the technical brief, help define the design direction and lead key engineering reviews with the GMD team. Together, we make decisions around function, manufacturing and delivery.
Understand the application
I review loads, cycle time, geometry, interfaces and constraints with the client and our team.
Develop and review
I guide concept development and lead technical reviews before the team moves into detailed design.
Prepare deliverables
I review the agreed CAD models, drawings, BOMs and supporting files before delivery.
Support implementation
I help clarify design intent and coordinate the team’s response to agreed review comments.
Selected experience
Engineering work that reflects my approach.
Examples of machinery and systems developed by the GMD Engineering team. Project details are shown in the linked case studies.
Laser loading & unloading
Material storage, sheet handling, gantry transfer and unloading for a laser cutting workflow.
Bearing press-fit line
Integrated bearing pressing, retaining-ring assembly, runout inspection and outfeed.
Medical tube cap assembly
Multi-station rotary equipment combining feeding, cleaning, assembly and welding.
