I am an experienced engineer with a strong background in mechanical design, product development, and real-world manufacturing workflows. Over the years, I have worked extensively with SolidWorks, using it not just for modeling, but as a complete engineering tool—covering parts, assemblies, drawings, configurations, weldments, and design intent. My approach is practical and detail-oriented, shaped by hands-on experience solving the kinds of problems engineers actually face on the job, from clean documentation to manufacturable designs.

As a tutor, I specialize in helping engineers truly understand SolidWorks rather than just follow steps. I teach how to build robust models that don’t break, how to think parametrically, and how to set up assemblies and drawings that are clear, efficient, and standards-compliant. I also help engineers streamline their workflows using best practices, automation, and macros where appropriate—saving time while improving accuracy and consistency across projects.

My teaching style is patient, structured, and highly customized to each engineer’s goals. Whether you are a student, a new hire, or an experienced engineer looking to sharpen advanced SolidWorks skills, I tailor sessions to real use cases—your parts, your assemblies, and your challenges. My goal is not only to improve software proficiency, but to build confidence, engineering judgment, and professional-level design habits that carry forward into every project.

Solidworks

I have extensive hands-on experience with SolidWorks, using it daily for professional mechanical design, assemblies, and production-ready drawings. I am highly proficient in configurations, weldments, sheet metal, and drawing standards, as well as troubleshooting broken features and performance issues. I can help with drawing templates, GD&T, tolerancing, Hole Wizards and Toolbox editing.
