This site is owned by Matt Lombard of Dezignstuff.

I am an independent product development professional, working in the field for 25 years. I've done a variety of work from website development, technical writing, and development of training materials to CAD contracting, CAD Admin and engineering development and documentation process consultation.

I have been using CAD in one form or another since 1990, developing technical websites since 1995, and writing technical books since 2003. I've worked for manufacturers as an engineer and as engineering services manager. I spent several years working for CAD resellers, and the last 18 years working independently in engineering services for a wide range of clients.
