I'm a degreed Mechanical Engineer. My work centers on taking P&IDs and flat schematics and turning them into accurate 3D models, fabrication drawings, and simulation-verified process systems. The work spans fluid systems, heavy mechanical assemblies, and industrial applications — built to ASME standards and intended to hold up in the real world.
Core Competencies & Compute Environment
P&ID Translation & Process Design
- 2D schematic to 3D model translation
- Line sizing and system architecture
Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
- Heavy mechanical assemblies and skid modeling
- Shop drawings and isometrics
Fluid Systems & Stress Engineering

QA/QC & Compliance
- ASME B31.3 & API 570 verification
- Weld mapping and MTR tracking
Workstation & Compute Setup
Work runs on a custom-built, liquid-cooled workstation built for continuous, high-duty operation — enough processing power and VRAM to sustain long-running ANSYS simulations, FEA, and large CAD assembly rendering without thermal throttling or cloud dependency.
The workflow also uses a fully offline, locally-deployed LLM — strictly as an internal utility for command-line automation, data parsing, and scripting (Bash, Python, PyMuPDF, ImageMagick). All data stays local; no third-party APIs, no external tokens.
Engineering Services Documentation
Isometric Weld Maps & NDT Documentation
Piping isometrics with integrated weld maps, NDT records, and radiographic examination data — built for field reference and full traceability.
Fabrication Documentation
Shop drawings with material specifications, tolerance callouts, and QC parameters for pressure vessels and piping systems.
CFD Analysis & Optimization
Computational fluid dynamics modeling — multiphase flow analysis, thermal gradient studies, and pressure drop calculations for process systems.
Process Flow Simulation & Validation
Process flow simulation using numerical methods to verify throughput, system performance, and operational efficiency.
Thermal Transfer System Engineering
Thermal system design — heat exchanger sizing, energy recovery analysis, and efficiency evaluation.
Code Compliance & Documentation
Compliance documentation per ASME B31.3, API 570, and international pressure equipment directives — with full material traceability.
Engineered Support Systems
Pipe support structures designed and validated through FEA — accounting for thermal expansion and seismic restraint requirements.
Modular Process Equipment Design
Pump and process skid systems — controls, monitoring, and maintenance access designed into the layout from the start.
P&ID Development
P&ID development with equipment databases, line sizing calculations, and documentation packages for digital handover.
