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.

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.

He 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.

I've always taken things apart to see how they work. That's still how I build: a system is only as good as what it lets a human do that they couldn't do alone. I don't build AI to replace people, I build 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 me the same lesson every time.

Engineers

Ibrahim ZiaML Forward-Deployed Engineer

Research-grade ML, shipped into production.

A research-grade ML engineer who also ships. Has built RAG systems over 1,000-page technical corpora, deployed LLM tool-calling pipelines on AWS Bedrock, and engineered anomaly-detection models with SHAP explainability. Forward-deployed into enterprise and government operations, building secure agentic systems on the client's own data layer: tuned, evaled, and accountable 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

She builds the client-facing AI that goes into production, end to end.

Maira is a data scientist by training, with a computer science degree from the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences 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.

Forward-deployedHow we embed

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

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.
