The north star since day one.

What we stand for

Written by the three founders

Execution

“We win together. We deliver always.”

If one of us moves, we are all moving. No silos, no toxic competition.

Obsession

“Make life for the customer 20x easier.”

We learn your North Star and build the path to it. Falling short is not failure; silence is.

Integrity

“No ego. Full stop.”

Doing what is right when no one is looking: radical transparency, full autonomy, full ownership.

Human

“Humans first. AI is the amplifier.”

AI amplifies human creativity, focus, and integrity. People flourish first; the systems follow.

Who builds it

Senior operators. One delivery team.

We take AI further than almost anyone. Then we answer for it: models run in production, measured against a record of what right looks like, and every result carries our name on it.
Ian KikuCTO & Founder, AI Architect

Founders

Shawn ReddyCEO & Founder, Growth & Partners

A seasoned CEO & Founder who finds the client's North Star and positions the engineers best to reach it.

Shawn spent three years embedded at Ampere Computing, the semiconductor company building Arm processors for hyperscale cloud and AI, where he learned how engineering organizations evaluate and buy. He has since bootstrapped Team Nebula to serve regulated enterprises and state agencies, and runs the company on the same platform his engineers deploy for clients.

Abraham NoyaCOO & Founder, Client Engagement

An enterprise operator who knows that moving technology forward is a people game.

Abraham's background is in IT infrastructure, built across multiple tech startups and seven years at AT&T running technology implementations on the Intel and Nike accounts. That taught him what it really takes to move a client project forward: it's a people game, and moving the ship means moving the people, not just the systems. He runs technical delivery for every engagement.

Ian KikuCTO & Founder, AI Architect

Anthropic Claude Ambassador for Austin, TX, and a hacker at heart.

Ian has always taken things apart to see how they work. That is still how he builds: a system is only as good as what it lets a human do that they couldn't do alone. He doesn't build AI to replace people, he builds it to make them dangerous, with leverage real enough to change what a company is worth. Over a decade of production systems across fintech, energy, and AI, including Team Nebula's client platforms on AWS Bedrock and Claude, has taught him the same lesson every time.

Operations & Growth

Yuni YuliantiniAI Marketing & Social Media Specialist

A marketing and operations specialist who runs the channels and the back office so the engineers can stay on the client's problem.

Yuni runs marketing and social for Team Nebula, and the operations underneath it. She builds the content and the automation behind it, AI-assisted from drafting through scheduling, so the channels stay consistent without a crew behind them. Behind that sits over a decade of remote data and administrative work, including twelve years supporting a French industrial marketplace, where accuracy and following the SOP are the whole job. That is the same discipline she brings to the back office: the details are handled, on time, before anyone has to ask.

Engineers

Ibrahim ZiaML Forward-Deployed Engineer

AWS Certified AI Practitioner who ships research-grade ML into production.

Ibrahim starts every model at the data. Collection, preparation, warehousing, and the rules that keep a model honest are his home ground, and it shows in what he ships: RAG systems, agentic workflows on AWS Bedrock, and anomaly detection with explainable AI behind its flags. Forward-deployed inside enterprise and government operations, he tunes and evaluates each system and stays accountable for how it runs in production.

Jacob Irwin-ClineForward-Deployed Engineer

A Portland full-stack engineer who embeds with clients and ships AI into live operations.

Jacob leads our forward-deployed engineering, embedded with enterprise clients to build and deploy AI systems directly into their operations. He is a full-stack engineer across React, Node, Rails, and Python, and an AWS-certified cloud practitioner. His work spans engagements from a regulated-utility observability platform to Rivus's Carlos lead-to-close system, and his Spanish supports client work across the US and Mexico.

Maira KashifData Scientist

A data scientist who builds the client-facing AI that goes into production, end to end.

Maira is a data scientist by training, with a data science degree from FAST National University and a foundation in statistics, machine learning, and model evaluation. That grounding shows in how she builds client-facing AI: she starts from the data, holds models to measured accuracy, and owns the work end to end, from the pipeline through the API to the interface. She ships fast; several of the internal tools she has designed and deployed have gone on to run in production for others.

No account managers. The senior people are the delivery team.

We embed inside your building, run discovery with your domain experts, and build the data layer and the agents on top of it. The people you meet on the discovery call are the people writing the code, and we stay through the outcome.

Why Nebula

“Nebula represents a place in space where the birth of stars happens. We focus on a business's North Star, and build the path to get them there.”

Shawn Reddy, CEO & Founder

The people who did the work, in their words.

“The numbers are very good. This is something the customer is adopting. What I am expecting is exponential growth, 10x. Results are results. Numbers don't lie.”

Reddy2Help

We've partnered with Reddy2Help.

Reddy2Help is a nonprofit for marginalized communities across South and Southeast Asia. Its mission, in its own words, is help that starts with listening: communities do not need saving, they need partners, so it backs the teachers, parents, and local leaders already doing the work, starting with education. At the Asha Vidhyashram School in Kathmandu, 125 children of materially poor families attend for free through its partnerships.

Team Nebula is its technology partner. We donate the hosting, domain, and email that keep it running, and our people teach students the free AI tools they can use with a borrowed laptop and an internet connection, girls and young women first.

We believe the point of building leverage is to hand it to the people who have the least of it.
