From F-22 Crew Chief to
Cislunar Infrastructure Builder
A journey through military service, cloud engineering, and space technology—driven by curiosity, technical excellence, and a mission to build systems that matter.
The Story
I started coding at 13, fascinated by how software worked—and how to take it apart. That curiosity for reverse engineering became a foundation for understanding systems at a deep level.
In 2003, I joined the United States Air Force as an aircraft crew chief. I worked on F-15E Strike Eagles before transitioning to the F-22A Raptor in 2004 at Nellis AFB. While serving, I created technical change requests and documentation improvements that saved the USAF over $10 million in operational costs. I also built websites for military units, blending my technical skills with operational needs.
In 2008, I was medically discharged from the Air Force. Rather than see it as an ending, I used it as a launchpad into technology full-time. I specialized in cloud infrastructure, DevOps engineering, and security—becoming a hands-on architect who could design, build, and ship production systems.
As a technical leader, I've led migrations, built reusable platforms, and contributed to open source. One of my proudest achievements was architecting and leading the development of an e-commerce and planning application that generated $3 million in revenue within two years.
Today, I run three companies: LabWorkz LLC (enterprise cloud and DevOps), Scan Ninja AI (AI-powered security intelligence), and Nebulon Enterprises (cislunar infrastructure). My work bridges the gap between technical depth and business outcomes—always focused on systems that scale, secure by design, and built to last.
I'm not chasing trends. I'm building the infrastructure for humanity's next chapter—in the cloud, in security, and in space.

Core Values
Principles that guide how I build, lead, and operate.
Technical Excellence
Write clean, maintainable code. Ship fast, but never sacrifice quality or security.
Outcome Over Process
Focus on measurable results. Tools and methodologies serve the mission, not vice versa.
Ownership & Accountability
Take responsibility. When something breaks, fix it. When something works, share the credit.
Think Long-Term
Build systems that last. Make decisions that compound. Invest in the future.
Security First
Security is not a feature—it's a foundation. Defense in depth, always.
Continuous Learning
Technology evolves rapidly. Stay curious, stay humble, stay ahead.
