About

I am a mechanical engineering design and drafting professional with over 40 years of experience. I started on a design team and progressed to leadership roles in design engineering, then as a partner in CAD consulting and IT/CAD training firms. I have extensive experience building CAD standards, implementing parametric CAD workflows, and delivering hands-on training to government agencies and private sector clients in engineering drawing and CAD best practices.

My passion is helping teams optimize product development and manufacturing processes through practical CAD solutions, strong documentation, and clear communication. I enjoy mentoring others, sharing industry standards, and leveraging technology to improve design quality and efficiency across Caribbean and North American contexts.
