Build a deep-tech product end to end.
I translate an ambitious idea into requirements, system architecture, critical experiments, prototypes, suppliers, manufacturing, and an operating product program.
Systems architect · founder · engineering leader · San Diego
I turn difficult technology into working systems.
I connect product strategy, system architecture, multidisciplinary engineering, manufacturing, customer delivery, and commercialization.
For 23 years, I have worked where software, electronics, mechanics, physics, AI, operations, and people must function as one system—not as separate departments.

Where I create the most value
Bring me the problem that does not fit inside one discipline.
I work with founders, executives, customers, and engineering teams when ambition is high, interfaces are unclear, and the path to a reliable product is still missing.
Recover a complex program that has stalled.
I make constraints, interfaces, decisions, risks, and ownership visible—then create an executable path through the uncertainty instead of adding another presentation.
Lead multidisciplinary teams and customer delivery.
I align engineers, scientists, designers, vendors, executives, and customers around one model of the system, a credible sequence of work, and measurable acceptance.
Turn technical capability into a business.
I help shape the product, operating model, partnerships, commercialization path, and story around the engineering—while protecting the technical truth underneath it.
Leadership & business
I build organizations around the systems—not only the systems themselves.
My work has included engineering management, customer relationships, budgets, operations, international suppliers, venture building, transactions, and the hard work of keeping multidisciplinary teams coherent.
Building the next operating layer for engineering and manufacturing.
My current focus includes ADOR, NovaECAM, DeepSense, and CAUSALIS Laboratory—systems that make complex engineering more executable, manufacturing more controllable, sensing more useful, and research more honest.
Parshkov Inc: a platform for multidisciplinary product realization.
Across my career, I have contributed to more than 200 product and system efforts and led organizations of up to 175 people. The work spans embedded platforms, medical sensing, robotics, IoT, thermal systems, computer vision, manufacturing, and AI-native engineering.
DP Technologies: from concepts to international manufacturing and a transaction.
I built a product-development business that connected industrial design, electronics, Android software, prototyping, and Shenzhen manufacturing. I later completed a $3.8M IP and product-portfolio transaction with an international cybersecurity company.
Spanish Village: an offsite business incubator in Spain.
I created a three-month immersion program for 40–50 founders and invited international experts to help them cross into new markets. In seven months I assembled the team, curriculum, logistics, legal pathway, mentoring process, and an investor-facing E-Projects Fair on the Costa del Sol.
My first independent R&D company.
I built and led a 32-person software and engineering organization that combined client delivery with product development. It taught me to manage the tension between short-term commitments, reusable technology, and the economics of an R&D business.
From product lead to a 42-person technology organization.
I first managed 12 developers building 16 digital products, then led a 42-person multidisciplinary department spanning infrastructure, software, business systems, and internal services. I integrated ERP, CRM, editorial, HR, and accounting workflows, launched a digital agency, and reduced technology operating costs by 20%.

Technical operating range
Deep in architecture. Broad enough to integrate the whole system.
My deepest practice is systems architecture, product realization, and engineering leadership. Across specialist sciences, I work well enough to frame interfaces, risks, models, and experiments—and to bring the right experts into one executable architecture.
The lists below show the technical languages I can connect when a product crosses conventional boundaries.01

ISO 15288 · MBSE · SysML · TRIZ · requirements
I turn stakeholder intent into system boundaries, requirements, interfaces, verification logic, risk sequence, and a delivery plan that engineering and management can both use.

How I work
The plan should become the thing that runs.
I combine ISO 15288 discipline, Agile MBSE, SysML, TRIZ, and evidence-first experimentation without turning engineering into ceremony.
Frame
Define the real problem, stakeholders, constraints, value, and system boundary.
Model
Make requirements, interfaces, causal assumptions, ownership, and acceptance explicit.
De-risk
Sequence the unknowns and run the smallest experiments that can change a decision.
Build
Integrate product, software, hardware, suppliers, verification, and delivery.
Scale
Close the field-to-product loop and improve the system, team, and economics together.
The artifacts are part of the operating system: requirements, models, code, CAD, tests, decisions, suppliers, and customer evidence must remain connected enough to explain what changed, why, and who had authority.

Beyond the work
I care about systems because I care about what they make possible for people.
I am a licensed civilian pilot, a motorcyclist, a husband, and a father of three. Flying and riding keep one principle very concrete for me: elegant theory matters, but the system must remain understandable and trustworthy when reality becomes noisy.
I also maintain access to an extensive network of scientists, engineers, laboratories, and manufacturing partners. I bring the right expertise into the architecture instead of pretending one person should know everything.
