3D Designer

Dec 2024 - Present • 1 yr 10 mos

Engineered high-precision parametric 3D models and complex mechanical assemblies using Autodesk Fusion 360, successfully bridging the gap between digital design and physical manufacturing. Translated rough client concepts, 2D drafts, and sketches into functional, structurally sound 3D prototypes, with a key specialization in custom PCB enclosures and mechanical components. Optimized CAD designs and geometry for additive manufacturing (3D printing - FDM/SLA) meticulously calculating tolerances, clearances, and draft angles to minimize production errors. Maintained strict geometric accuracy and clean topology across all digital assets, delivering industry-standard file formats (STEP, IGES, STL) to ensure seamless handoffs to engineering and manufacturing teams. Managed end-to-end project lifecycles for international clients, ensuring rapid turnaround times, transparent communication, and rigorous quality control from concept to final deliverable.

Linux Technician

Dec 2024 - Present • 1 yr 10 mos

Configured and maintained local server environments and Linux-based infrastructure, optimizing performance parameters to ensure maximum system stability and resource efficiency. Automated repetitive system tasks and automated backups by writing custom, robust Bash and Shell scripts, significantly reducing manual maintenance workloads and streamlining software deployments. Hardened network security and system defenses through the deployment of secure firewalls (iptables), remote access logging protocols, and network-monitoring configurations. Diagnosed and troubleshot complex OS and software dependency issues, resolving configuration bottlenecks and optimizing background telemetry scripts to run seamlessly. Provisioned, updated, and managed system packages across various distributions (Debian/Ubuntu/CentOS), keeping systems patched against security vulnerabilities while maintaining detailed technical documentation.
