[01] // Experience

Design, analysis, and production work across robotics, consumer hardware, and industrial equipment.

  1. 2022 — Present

    Senior Mechanical Design Engineer · Acme Robotics

    Manila

    • Lead mechanical design of a 6-axis arm end effector, from concept through PPAP
    • Own FEA and fatigue analysis for load-bearing structures (ANSYS Mechanical)
    • Wrote Python tooling that runs parametric simulation sweeps and flags failing designs
    • Reduced machining cost 22% through DFM reviews with suppliers

  2. 2019 — 2022

    Mechanical Engineer · Globex Manufacturing

    Cebu

    • Designed injection-molded enclosures and sheet-metal chassis for IoT devices
    • Ran CFD thermal studies that removed a cooling fan from the final product
    • Built a test-rig DAQ dashboard (Python + React) used on the production line

  3. 2018 — 2019

    Engineering Intern · Initech Industrial

    Laguna

    • Created fixtures and jigs for the CNC cell; detailed drawings to ASME Y14.5

[03] // Capabilities

Four disciplines I bring to every project, so designs move from idea to part without hand-off gaps.

CAD (Computer-Aided Design)

Parametric modeling, large assemblies, and production drawings that machinists can actually use.

[04] // Process

How I take a part from idea to production.

  1. 01

    Requirements

    Loads, environment, cost target, and volumes, written down before any CAD.

  2. 02

    Concept & CAD

    Quick concepts, then a parametric model built for the chosen process.

  3. 03

    Simulate

    FEA, CFD, and tolerance stack-ups to catch problems while they’re cheap.

  4. 04

    Prototype & test

    Printed and machined prototypes on an instrumented test rig.

  5. 05

    Release

    Drawings, DFM review with the supplier, first article, and PPAP.

[05] // Skills
