Turning breakthrough
science into scalable
hardware.

System Engineering Lead with 10+ years in deep-tech R&D, specialising in de-risking complex hardware-software integration for high-growth technology sectors. I take lab-scale prototypes and turn them into high-throughput industrial systems through robust CAD/FEA/CFD architecture and scalable manufacturing processes.

Currently directing the mechanical architecture for next-generation atomic-layer 3D printing at ATLANT 3D in Taastrup, Denmark.

About

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.

At ATLANT 3D I lead the mechanical architecture for atomic-layer 3D printing systems that push resolution limits well beyond conventional manufacturing. Before that, I designed and scaled a modular MXene synthesis reactor at the Materials Research Centre in Kyiv — taking milligram-level lab samples to 100-gram industrial batches. Along the way I also engineered an automated yarn dip-coating platform that enabled the first continuous production of smart textiles.

I'm energised by hard constraints and cross-disciplinary problems — the kind that demand fluency in simulation, hardware, software, and people management all in the same week. My goal is always the same: align R&D roadmaps with commercial milestones so that capital efficiency and technical ambition reinforce each other.

“The best systems don't just work — they make the physics obvious and the complexity invisible.”

Jun 2022 — Oct 2024ATLANT 3DTaastrup, Denmark
Mechanical Engineer & Team Lead
Led the mechanical design and systems-level integration of the Nanofabricator™ platform, ensuring hardware-software synergy for atomic-layer 3D printing. Directed a cross-functional team through the full PLM cycle, managing the transition from R&D prototypes to small-batch industrial production. Conducted high-fidelity FEA and CFD simulations (ANSYS / SolidWorks) to validate sub-micron motion accuracy and thermal stability. Owned the technical roadmap for core mechatronic subsystems, coordinating with global suppliers for 100% on-time delivery of critical components.
Key result: Developed a modular gas delivery architecture that reduced system assembly time by 25% and enabled rapid reconfiguration for diverse material deposition requirements.

Dec 2016 — Apr 2022Materials Research CentreKyiv, Ukraine
Mechanical Engineer / System Integrator
Architected a modular etching reactor for MXene synthesis that transitioned output from milligram-level lab samples to 100g industrial batches, de-risking the R&D pipeline. Spearheaded the engineering of an automated high-throughput yarn dip-coating platform in collaboration with international research teams, enabling the first continuous production of smart textiles. Performed multi-physics feasibility analysis (SolidWorks / ANSYS) and integrated electrical and control components into unified prototypes with real-time data monitoring and automated temperature regulation.
Key result: Three-order-of-magnitude scale-up of MXene synthesis — from milligrams to 100 grams — plus the world's first automated platform for conductive smart-textile yarn production.
