Biography

David Mardakhayev is a Mechanical (HVAC) Engineer at A/E firm HDR. Although never envisioning an architectural career for himself, David was presented an opportunity at this prestigious firm and could not turn it down. Through this, he discovered an interest in the interdisciplinary and long term projects he was assigned. He intends to open his own engineering firm after acquiring several years of experience and a PE license under his belt.

Outside of his career, David is primarily a musician. After making hip hop under the pseudonym D.MAKA for several years, his attention has shifted back to his roots in classical music for the time being. Where he goes next is anyones best guess.
