I'm a detail-oriented and adaptable BIM Modeler and Mechanical Drafter with 5+ years of hands-on experience in industrial design, piping systems, and digital modeling. I specialize in Autodesk Plant 3D, Inventor, Navisworks, and point cloud processing to deliver accurate 3D models, P&ID integration, and scan-to-BIM workflows for oil & gas, water treatment, and manufacturing projects. Based in Brisbane, Australia, I’m ready to contribute immediately to project teams and help drive design accuracy and collaboration across disciplines. Soon after joining a project, I ramp up quickly by understanding client needs, organizing data, and delivering reliable, manufacturable models and drawings. I value clear communication, meticulous attention to detail, and teamwork, and I enjoy sharing knowledge through training and mentoring to lift the overall capabilities of the team.
