Technical architect and fractional CTO.

I help deep tech companies solve hard problems and scale.

Dr. Silvino Presa

Technology Strategist & Fractional CTO

I help deep-tech companies build the technical foundation they need to scale. I walk into chaos, clarify what matters, and give teams the confidence to execute.

As a CTO and technology strategist, I work with founders and CEOs who are losing sleep over their technology. Whether it’s de-risking a product launch, building a technical roadmap from scratch, or leading a team through a crisis, I provide the clarity and leadership that turns technical chaos into predictable execution.

Technical Strategy & Roadmaps

I help you figure out what to build, when to build it, and how to get there without wasting money.

Team & Partner Enablement

I build the teams, processes, and partnerships that make execution and operational excellence possible.

Product & Platform Strategy

I translate business goals into technical reality, and technical reality into business results.

Experience

I’ve held senior technical leadership roles at Dimenco (VP), Leia Inc. (Director), and now as CTO of a company in the 3D display space. I hold a PhD in microelectronics and have spent over a decade building and leading technical teams in the 3D and spatial computing industry.

My value is in understanding complex technology, translating it into clear strategy, and enabling teams to deliver. I’m a force multiplier, not a solo builder.
