The team
Treat people like they matter.
They'll build things that matter.
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 & PartnersCEO & 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 EngagementCOO & 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 ArchitectCTO & 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.

Ibrahim ZiaML Forward-Deployed EngineerML 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 EngineerForward-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 ScientistData 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.

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.”
“You changed our lives. It was a mess for two years and no one could fix it. No one.”
“Turned our event outreach from manual chaos into a multi-channel machine. Signups jumped 25% in the first month.”
