Summary
Danny Andreev is a founder and power-systems engineer with nine years of hands-on experience designing rad-hard, high-density DC-DC converters and rugged power-distribution hardware for rockets, satellites, lunar landers and grid-scale installations. Based in Palo Alto, he combines deep analog and thermal expertise with rapid productization—delivering flight-ready systems for startups and defense primes while also managing overseas integration for mission-critical deployments. He leads Sunburn Schematics and investigates lunar ISRU and solar concentration as Principal Investigator at Sunburn Space, reflecting a rare focus on power conversion at the intersection of extreme environments and space permanence. Outside engineering he’s a sponsored pro kitesurfer and community mentor who brings the same creative, iterative approach to entrepreneurship and prototyping as he does to solving noisy, messy power-electronics problems. An unusual detail: he prefers outreach with personality—Eminem-style, duck-themed rap earns bonus points—illustrating a founder who values memorable, human-first connections.
