About Connor McNeely

My Story

I'm a multi-disciplinary mechanical engineer with expertise spanning mechanical design, automation, process optimization, and AI/ML integration. My career has been driven by a passion for solving complex engineering problems and delivering measurable impact across diverse industries—from pharmaceutical manufacturing to precision pump design.

Engineering Philosophy

Great engineering is about more than technical proficiency—it's about understanding systems holistically, optimizing for manufacturability, and creating solutions that deliver real-world value. I believe in combining rigorous analysis with practical innovation, always keeping the end goal in sight: designs that work efficiently, reliably, and cost-effectively.

Approach

My approach integrates mechanical design expertise with automation, data-driven decision making, and continuous improvement methodologies. From SolidWorks and FEA/CFD analysis to PLC programming and machine learning, I leverage the full spectrum of modern engineering tools to deliver innovative solutions. Whether leading full-cycle pump design or optimizing production processes, I focus on quantifiable results and cross-functional collaboration.
