I'm offering
I am a mechanical design engineer with over 20 years experience.
My main skillset is in designing electronic enclosures using sheet metal and machining manufacturing methods.
I have designed enclosures varying from cost effective commercial PC cases, to bespoke ruggedised consoles.
My most recent work experience has been in the food sorting industry, so I can design hygeienic assemblies, for special purpose machinery.
