With over 13 years of experience in mechanical design and a deep passion for transforming static designs into dynamic visual storytelling, I have successfully blended my expertise in mechanical engineering with the art of 3D animation. My journey began with designing complex equipment for oil and gas projects, including storage tanks, pressure vessels, and heat exchangers. Over the years, my interest shifted towards bringing these designs to life through 3D animations, and I have since refined my skills in product animation, assembly sequences, and technical simulations. I am proficient in CAD design tools such as AutoCAD Plant 3D and Autodesk Inventor, and have successfully transitioned into 3D animation using Blender and Filmora. I am continuously exploring new techniques to improve my animations and provide visually compelling content that highlights the product assembly, and the elegance of engineering in motion.
