Meet the Team
Steven Dourmashkin
As a former Founder & CEO of a consumer electronics startup, Steven has seen the challenges of sourcing and verifying electronic components firsthand. With over a decade of experience bringing technology from concept to production, he leads product, software, and operations at Chiplytics.
Stephen DiBartolomeo
Stephen brings a decade of national security and deep-tech investing experience to lead sales, procurement, and capital at Chiplytics. A former Navy Cryptologist at NSA, he helped combat supply chain vulnerabilities across our nation's most critical infrastructure and saw firsthand the growing risk to semiconductor availability and authenticity, insight that led him to Sandia National Laboratories, where early discussions on commercializing its Power Spectrum Analysis technology laid the groundwork for a more secure national microelectronics supply chain.
Connor Dempsey, PhD
Connor is a semiconductor expert with a decade of experience in the field, ranging from developing satellite test systems at JHU APL to performing cutting edge semiconductor materials research at UC Santa Barbara. At Chiplytics, he leads engineering, quality, and R&D on next-generation counterfeit and tamper-detection technologies.
Devon Richman, PhD
Devon has nearly a decade of microelectronic experience spanning counterfeit part testing, standards development, electrical and side-channel test methods, reliability, and failure analysis. He also serves as a technical expert assessing laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025, AS6171, AS6081, and MIL-STD-883. At Chiplytics, he leads the Verified by Chiplytics testing laboratory and directs R&D initiatives to advance counterfeit detection and microelectronics inspection technologies.
Tom Mikolyuk
Tom specializes in turning emerging technologies into real products that solve real needs, with a track record of previous translational design & engineering across surgical devices, architected materials, and accessible technology. At Chiplytics, he leads mechanical, industrial, and UX research across design, prototyping, and fabrication.
Andrew D'Onofrio
Andrew is a trained mechanical engineer with hands-on experience in electromechanical test, verification, and operations at J&J MedTech and Siemens Healthineers. At Chiplytics, he bridges R&D and the Verified by Chiplytics laboratory, transferring the company's analysis technologies and protocols into AS6171 test workflows.
