From concept to buildable design
From concept to buildable design
As a Mechanical Engineer, I focus on translating technical designs into practical, buildable solutions. The combination of modeling, collaboration, and engineering decisions brings variety and challenge. Working on diverse projects allows me to continuously develop and create well-considered, practical designs.
I work at Saltwater as a Mechanical Engineer, where I focus on translating technical concepts into practical and buildable solutions. In my role, I mainly work on creating 3D models and producing detailed 2D drawings.
I often take designs developed by structural engineers and translate them into full 3D models using Inventor. From these models, I create production drawings that are shared with clients for approval and execution. When developing my own designs, I start with a conceptual sketch and refine it step by step into a detailed and validated solution.
What makes my work engaging is the combination of engineering, creativity, and collaboration. I contribute to solutions, evaluate technical options, and work closely with colleagues, clients, and suppliers to achieve the best result.
What stands out to me about working at Saltwater is the variety of projects. No two days are the same, and I am constantly exposed to new challenges. Collaboration is direct and the atmosphere is open, creating space to share ideas and continue developing myself.
At Saltwater, I have the opportunity to make a real impact and keep growing within my field.
