I am a surface modeler and industrial designer with 4+ years of experience in 3D modeling, digital surfacing, and geometric development across aviation and high-tech industries. I’m proficient in Alias Autodesk and VRED, with solid knowledge of CATIA V5, SolidWorks, and a suite of supporting tools such as Keyshot, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. I excel at translating concepts into production-ready geometries while collaborating closely with engineers, suppliers, and cross-functional teams to ensure technical accuracy and visual coherence. In my last role at Leonardo Helicopters, I develop Class A and B surfaces for cabin interiors across EMS, VIP, offshore, utility, passenger transport, and military platforms. I also produce VRED renderings, conduct ergonomic simulations, support material selection and industrialization, and work with suppliers on tolerances and manufacturing processes to meet aviation standards. My earlier internships at Stellantis and BTS Design Innovation strengthened my skills in technical research, reverse engineering, and concept validation through detailed 3D modeling and visualization.
