04 / ORIGINS

Start with
“what if?”

Mark Zepeda’s story.
A lifetime of making ideas possible.

The VISION

Delta Zee Solutions is the culmination of a lifetime’s experiences of Mark Zepeda.

  1. Ran a materials engineering lab at Garret Turbine Engine for 7 years
  2. Owned a Titanium bicycle company for 10 years
  3. Ran two of the larger aerospace machine shops in Tucson
  4. Co-Founder of Raytheon’s “Bike Shop”
  5. Freelance consultant to large composites and aerospace companies

“How can we
make this happen?”

Trying new things is in his blood. When others opine that something cannot be done, Mark is asking, “How can we make this happen?” His curiosity is insatiable, his imagination unstoppable.

The Bike Shop.

Mark worked more than six years as a co-founder of a rapid-development group within Raytheon Missile Systems in an off-site location (now known as “The Bike Shop”), which fostered freestyle approaches to their research. But their program became thwarted as word slowly leaked out about their undisclosed facility and secretive experiments.

Mark is a firm believer in Kelly Johnson’s approach (Look up his 14 rules!) to an agile and effective development group. Mark became increasingly aware of an invasive increase of bureaucracy which was hampering the ability to be a rapid response group.

2007.
A new beginning.

In 2007, Mark left Raytheon and set out to re-create what was good about The Bike Shop, allowing him to perpetuate his unique appetite for research and development with a good dose of science and a splash of creativity. Mark is at his best when these three elements converge.

OUR PRODUCT

Unlike other companies, our ‘product’ is not always tangible. Rather, our ‘product’ is the vertical thinking, imagination, and creativity used to create paradigm shifts in ideas.

A different way
to move forward.

What is a paradigm shift? Merriam-Webster defines a paradigm shift as ‘An important change that happens when the usual way of thinking about or doing something is replaced by a new and different way.’

This paradigm shift is our secret sauce. The ingredients include R&D, design engineering, modeling, prototyping, and Project Management. Vertical thinking creates paradigm shifts which propel ordinary standards into extraordinary heights.

06 / EXPERIENCE

Move forward.
With perspective.

Expert input.
Process improvement.

Consulting

From Streamlining Processes To Space Orbiting Structures. We also follow accepted quality practices to ensure traceability, repeatability, and configuration management.

Consulting

From Streamlining Processes To Space Orbiting Structures.

Delta Zee’s focus is to be on Design, Engineering, and Consulting of the highest quality composites products for our customers. We have phased out complete turn-key unmanned systems in favor of parts and pieces of non-man rated components. We can, however, point you to the right people who do the final integration of those systems.

We've Got You Covered

Whether You Need “Grey Beard” Input, Process Improvement, Or Complete Project Management, We Are Here To Help With Expertise In:

  • Manufacturing
  • Aeronautics
  • Avionics
  • Meeting Tight Schedules
  • Business Strategies
  • Proposal Writing
