Alex van der Merwe

At AgriCAD, I research and develop agricultural implements and mechanical equipment, creating parametric 3D parts and assemblies in Creo 3 and AutoCAD. I also prepare manufacturing and assembly drawings to support production. My work includes engineering calculations, component and material research, and Excel and Web-based tools for design verification. I prepare bills of materials and labor estimates, and support production by checking components and troubleshooting manufacturing and assembly issues. I completed a BEngTech in Mechanical Engineering at Tshwane University of Technology and have practical experience in fabrication, machining, and 3D printing. I’m independently developing Expert Advisors for Meta Trader 5 using MQL5 and Python, and I’m interested in progressing towards ECSA registration as a Professional Engineering Technologist.
