Projects

SolidWorks MCP Server - GitHub

Python, SolidWorks COM API, C#/.NET Interop, MCP

  • Developed and open-sourced a SolidWorks MCP Server with ~100 tools exposing core SolidWorks part & assembly operations, model and state inspection, and a macro system for long-tail API coverage.
  • Enabled closed-loop model feedback by exposing faces, edges, features, bodies, mass properties, interference checks, and viewport captures to agents.
  • Built a private 350+ case benchmark spanning implementation categories & CSWA/CSWP-style problems, programmatically evaluating agents and harnesses via COM for correctness, tool usage, completion, and error detection.

Automatic Exhaust Route Solver

  • Built a constraint-driven routing engine for welded exhaust systems with effectively arbitrary topology subject to tube diameter, bend radius, merge geometry, and clearance constraints.
  • Designed for agent-first operation: agents generate constraints, feed the solver, and build the part directly in SolidWorks via MCP.

OrcaSlicer Belt Printer Support - GitHub

  • Implemented belt-printer support in OrcaSlicer, currently available in nightly builds with full upstream integration scheduled for the next major version release.

Relevant Experience

Head of Process Management & IT, Tooling Designer
