I’m a mechanical design technician based in Ponte de Lima, Portugal, focused on 3D modelling in SolidWorks and producing accurate 2D technical drawings and manufacturing documentation. My day-to-day work includes sheet-metal parts and structural assemblies, creating BOMs, preparing DXF files, and setting up Lantek jobs for cutting machines and punch presses—plus support for production teams to resolve technical issues quickly. Alongside mechanical design, I’ve built hands-on experience on the shop floor through prototype assembly work and industrial maintenance support, which helps me design with real manufacturing constraints in mind. I also do occasional freelance video editing from remote projects, and I bring a mechatronics background (EQF Level 5) that strengthens my practical, problem-solving approach across technical documentation, prototypes, and industrial environments.
