3D Automotive Modeling Specialist

Motion View Software LLC • Freelance

Apr 2026 - Apr 2026 • 0 mos

Worked with automotive designers, game developers, vehicle enthusiasts, product creators, and 3D printing clients who needed detailed 3D car models, automotive modeling, realistic renders, and print-ready 3D assets. Projects often started from sketches, photographs, reference images, or existing vehicle concepts. Studied reference materials carefully to establish accurate vehicle proportions, body dimensions, exterior components, wheels, lights, windows, interior elements, and other important automotive details before beginning the 3D modeling workflow. Created detailed 3D car models in Blender, developing clean geometry and carefully refined surfaces for realistic visualization, digital presentation, game assets, concept development, and 3D printing applications. Built automotive models with attention to proportions, topology, surface quality, component separation, and overall visual accuracy. Adjusted the modeling workflow according to whether the final asset was intended for rendering, gaming, animation, or physical production. Produced realistic 3D renders using carefully controlled materials, lighting, reflections, camera composition, environments, and surface details. Created presentation visuals that allowed clients to evaluate their vehicle concepts from multiple angles. Prepared appropriate 3D files for 3D printing, checking model scale, geometry, thickness, closed surfaces, and other important considerations before final delivery where print-ready output was requested. Managed the project from reference analysis and blockout through detailed modeling, material development, rendering, revisions, optimization, and final file preparation. Client feedback was incorporated efficiently to maintain the agreed project schedule. Delivered professional automotive 3D modeling and visualization solutions that helped clients present vehicle concepts clearly, create realistic marketing visuals, develop digital assets, and prepare designs for physical prototyping.

IoT & Embedded Electronics Designer

Nexgen Innovations • Freelance

Jan 2026 - Jan 2026 • 0 mos

Worked with startups, hardware developers, automation businesses, and product innovators developing IoT devices, ESP32 systems, embedded electronics, and connected prototypes. Clients often had an idea for a smart device but needed help converting the concept into a structured electronics and prototype solution. Reviewed functional requirements, sensors, communication interfaces, power requirements, user inputs, outputs, and hardware constraints to establish a practical system architecture before beginning PCB and embedded development. Designed custom ESP32-based electronics systems and PCB layouts, integrating sensors, displays, buttons, relays, communication modules, power circuits, connectors, and other required components according to project specifications. Developed organized schematic diagrams and PCB designs while considering component placement, signal integrity, power distribution, board dimensions, connectivity, and prototype requirements. Assisted with embedded system planning and firmware integration requirements so the hardware design could communicate effectively with the intended software and connected-device ecosystem. Created documentation and manufacturing files required for prototyping, including PCB layouts, schematics, BOMs, Gerber outputs, and component information. Ensured each deliverable remained consistent with the approved design. Managed development changes efficiently when clients modified sensors, communication requirements, enclosure dimensions, or other system specifications. Maintained clear version control and communication throughout the project. Delivered structured IoT and embedded electronics solutions that helped clients move from an initial smart-device concept toward a functional prototype while reducing development uncertainty and unnecessary redesign.

PCB Design & Electronics Engineer

CircuitDesk • Freelance

Nov 2025 - Nov 2025 • 0 mos

Worked with hardware startups, electronics developers, engineers, and product innovators who needed professional PCB design, schematic design, electronic circuit development, and manufacturing-ready board layouts. Clients frequently approached with circuit concepts, component lists, sketches, or functional requirements that needed to become structured electronic designs. Analyzed project requirements and converted functional specifications into clear electronic schematics, carefully organizing components, power connections, signal paths, interfaces, and circuit sections before proceeding to PCB layout. Designed custom PCB layouts using Altium Designer and KiCad, including component placement, trace routing, power and ground distribution, layer management, design-rule considerations, connectors, mounting holes, and board dimensions. Developed electronics designs with practical prototype development and manufacturing requirements in mind. Reviewed schematic-to-layout consistency and checked critical connections before generating final manufacturing outputs. Prepared Gerber files, drill files, BOM documentation, and other PCB manufacturing outputs required for fabrication and assembly. Organized deliverables clearly so clients could move from PCB design to prototype manufacturing with fewer complications. Managed revisions carefully when clients changed components, board dimensions, interfaces, or circuit requirements. Updated the schematic and PCB layout together to maintain design consistency throughout development. Maintained a structured workflow from initial consultation and circuit planning through schematic capture, PCB layout, design review, revisions, and final manufacturing files. This helped clients save development time and reduce avoidable design errors. Delivered clean, organized, and practical PCB design solutions while keeping project communication clear and meeting agreed project milestones.
