Work experience

Lead Technical Designer

Nexus • Freelance

Feb 2021 - Feb 2024 • 3 yrs

My career is built on the foundation of Industrial Engineering and Manufacturing Precision. Before bringing my services to this platform, I operated as a Technical Lead at Nexus Industrial Design & Tech, where I specialized in bridging the gap between high-level concepts and3d factory-floor realities. I have spent years navigating the complexities of both soft-goods (Technical Apparel & Sewing Patterns) and hard-goods (Product Engineering). My history is rooted in the "Zero-Rejection" philosophy—ensuring that every Industrial Sewing Pattern, Tech Pack, and STL file I produce is mathematically optimized for immediate production, saving clients thousands in sampling costs and manufacturing delays. Achievements: . Global Manufacturing Success: Successfully engineered and delivered over 150+ manufacture-ready Tech Packs and Multi-Size Sewing Patterns for medical-grade workwear and technical apparel brands worldwide. . Production Optimization: Developed a standardized "Technical Audit" protocol for Pattern Grading, reducing factory sampling iterations by an average of 40% for startup clients. . 3D Engineering Excellence: Recovered and repaired over 500+ "unprintable" STL files, transforming corrupted mesh data into high-precision, manifold-ready assets for injection molding. . Precision Pattern Drafting: Mastered the transition from 2D drapes to Production-Ready CAD Patterns, ensuring 100% fit-accuracy across complex, multi-component technical garments. . Compliance Leadership: Successfully integrated ISO-standard clinical specifications into apparel blueprints and Sewing Patterns for top-tier medical supply companies. . Resource Efficiency: Optimized material nesting and Bill of Materials (BOM) workflows that resulted in a 15% reduction in raw material waste for small-to-midscale production runs.
