For deep-tech hardware teams · Denmark
You have something that works. Now it has to be built by people who weren't there when it was invented — from a drawing, repeatably, against a schedule set before anyone knew where the hard part would be.
That crossing is what I do. Ten years across gas, motion and deposition systems, and the engineering groups that build them.
Stage 01
Before you commit to tooling, a supplier or a design freeze: what does done actually mean for this machine? Often nobody has written it down. I define the requirements — performance, environment, manufacture, acceptance — and review the design against them.
Requirements · Architecture · Risk review
Stage 02
It works when you build it. Now it has to work when someone else does — from a drawing, to the requirements you agreed, repeatably. Component selection, supplier qualification, drawing packages, assembly and acceptance procedures: the work that makes unit one and unit fifty behave the same way.
Design for manufacture · Scale-up · Supplier hand-off
Stage 03
Getting one machine across is a project. Getting every machine across is a practice: design reviews that catch things early, documentation someone else can pick up, an engineering group that makes the same call twice.
Design review · Mentoring · Documentation
Working together
Start with a call. Half an hour, no charge and no obligation — you describe what you are building and where it is stuck, and I tell you whether I can help. If I am not the right person, I will say so on that call rather than three weeks into an engagement.
I've spent my career at the intersection of advanced materials science and precision engineering — the narrow space where a process that works on a bench needs to survive the realities of production volume, thermal drift, and a ticking clock.
That work started in Kyiv, building instrumentation for materials research and scaling laboratory chemistry into industrial equipment. It continues in Denmark, where I lead the mechanical engineering group at ATLANT 3D and have taken the same core atomic layer processing technology to product.

Worked with
Jun 2022 — Present
ATLANT 3D Nanosystems
Taastrup, Denmark
Mechanical Engineering Group Lead
Took ATLANT 3D's Direct Atomic Layer Processing technology from lab to product across three platforms: a benchtop research tool, a space-rated system for in-orbit manufacturing, and an industrial production machine. Led mechanical design and the R&D-to-production transfer for each, and grew the mechanical engineering function into a team.
Key result
Grew the mechanical engineering function from a single role into a group, and set the design review and documentation practice the team now runs on.
Nov 2025 — Apr 2026
Spacer Robotics
Denmark
Systems Engineering Consultant
Consulting engagement on autonomous construction robotics. Defined the system requirements, developed the system architecture and concept design, and prototyped core modules.
Dec 2016 — Apr 2022
Materials Research Centre
Kyiv, Ukraine
Mechanical Engineer / System Integrator
Designed and integrated mechanical systems for materials science instrumentation — crystal growth equipment, vacuum and CVD systems, and custom characterisation rigs — alongside the scale-up work that turned laboratory material synthesis into a repeatable industrial process.
Key result
Designed and scaled a modular MXene synthesis reactor from milligram-level lab samples to 100-gram industrial batches.
