Experience in custom machinery and industrial automation since 2012, with a focus on automation concepts, simulation, estimating, and engineering software.
Open to full-time remote engineering opportunities.
Robot selection, preliminary cell layouts, reach and cycle-time studies, and simulation using Visual Components, FANUC ROBOGUIDE, and ABB RobotStudio. Experience working with applications teams at integrators and machine builders.
RFQs, Scope & Estimating
Production requirements, scope boundaries, budgetary expectations, supplier coordination, ROM and firm estimates, technical proposals, and bid review. Experience with manufacturer-side project definition and integrator quoting.
Engineering Software & Tools
I develop estimating workflows, RFQ tools, parametric calculations, equipment libraries, and internal utilities using Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Excel VBA. My work includes developing RoughCAD's React web app and Electron desktop app.
RoughCAD Development Stack
React · TypeScript / JavaScript · Vite · Supabase / PostgreSQL · Cloudflare Pages, Workers & R2 · Electron
SolidWorks, Rhino3D, BricsCAD, AutoCAD, and Blender. Mechanical design, flexible models, drawing review, and design standardization.
Simulation & Analysis
Visual Components, FANUC ROBOGUIDE, ABB RobotStudio, MATLAB / Octave, reach and cycle-time studies, and custom simulation and calculation tools to evaluate concepts before prototyping.
Programming & Automation
Python, C#, VB.NET, Excel VBA, LabVIEW, JavaScript, and TypeScript. Custom engineering utilities, quoting spreadsheets, proposal generators, and calculation tools.
Data & Reporting
Power BI, Power Query, Microsoft Access, and basic SQL. Costing, sales, labor, shipping, and material-certification reports; performance dashboards and data models.
Applications & Industry Experience
Automation & Robotics
Robotic handling and welding, indexers and positioning equipment, material handling, assembly, packaging, and custom automated machinery.
Concept Development & Proposals
RFQ review, cell layouts, robot selection, simulation, cycle-time analysis, ROM and firm estimates, supplier coordination, technical scopes, and proposal development.
Engineering Delivery
Mechanical and project engineering from quoting through design, drawing checks, customer presentations, and coordination with suppliers, machinists, and machine builders.
