Looking for a
Technical Co-Founder?
You have the vision, the market insight, and the drive. What you need is a technical partner who can turn that idea into a real, working product.
I help non-technical founders go from napkin sketch to customer-ready prototype in 8 weeks.
I'm Your Unfair Advantage
Hey, I'm Chris Parker! I'm a professional product designer with a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I started my career designing test equipment for multi‑billion‑dollar tech companies, and I bring that rigor to founders who want to move fast without breaking everything.
Over the last 7+ years I've designed and delivered electronics for first‑time founders, venture‑backed startups, and large corporations. I handle the full stack: schematic, PCB, firmware, and enclosures — even the software UI and backend. When you work with me, you get a partner who builds, not a coordinator who delegates.
The Product Design Journey
No matter where you are in this process, I'll meet you there and help you build a clear, actionable plan to get a product in your hands. On your timeline and within your budget.
Idea
Define the problem you're solving and who you're solving it for.
Validation
Test market fit, verify technical feasibility, and build a realistic timeline.
Prototype
Design, build, and test a functional prototype you can hold.
Refinement
Iterate based on feedback, optimize for cost, and prep for production.
Manufacturing
Scale to production with vetted suppliers and quality oversight.
Where are you in this journey?
Whether you're sketching on a napkin or ready to scale to thousands of units, I'll help you figure out the next step and build a plan that fits your timeline and budget.
