Norlen Gaile Pielago

To obtain a position in the engineering or manufacturing field where I can apply my skills in mechanical design, 3D modeling, and hands-on fabrication. I aim to contribute to innovative projects while continuing to grow professionally by leveraging my experience in SolidWorks, machine operation, and technical support to deliver practical and efficient solutions.

Golf-Ball Hopper
Final Capstone Project, Centennial College

• Designed and fabricated a functional golf-ball hopper system, incorporating mechanical principles for efficient dispensing
• Utilized machine shop tools to manufacture the components, focusing on precision and durability
• Modeled parts in SolidWorks and used manual machines to bring the design to life, including lathe, milling, and drilling operations
• Conducted assembly and testing to ensure smooth operation and improve the overall user experience

Sandwich Jig
Manufacturing Design Project

• Designed a sandwich jig for precise material alignment in a production environment
• Completed the entire project—including concept, SolidWorks modeling, and detailed technical drawings—within a 2-week timeframe
• Focused on ergonomic design and ease of use while ensuring alignment accuracy and operator safety

Milling Fixture
Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Project

• Created a custom milling fixture to secure parts during CNC machining processes
• Designed the fixture in SolidWorks, with a focus on precision, stability, and part alignment
• Produced detailed technical drawings for the fixture’s components and assembly
• Ensured the fixture met safety standards and was adaptable for different machining setups
