The team

The people who build it, and stay.

A small, senior, AI-native team where every member has built and shipped real product, not just managed it. Backgrounds across hyperscale silicon, large-account enterprise, fintech, and applied AI research.

Who builds it

Senior operators. One delivery team.

Shawn Reddy, CEO & Founder at Team Nebula

Shawn Reddy

CEO & Founder

LinkedIn

He assembled this team, and the client relationships behind it.

Three-time founder. He spent three years embedded at Ampere Computing, a semiconductor company building Arm processors for hyperscale cloud and AI, which taught him what it takes to operate inside an engineering-heavy organization. As CEO he treats go-to-market as an engineering problem: systems that compound, not campaigns that expire.

Abraham Noya, COO & Founder at Team Nebula

Abraham Noya

COO & Founder

LinkedIn

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.

Maira Kashif, Data Scientist at Team Nebula

Maira Kashif

Data Scientist

LinkedIn

A data scientist who ships production tools in days, not sprints.

Maira moves fast. She built our internal meeting scheduler, a Calendly-style tool with Google Workspace sync deployed on Firebase, in three days, and works across client AI from Rivus's Carlos sales system to its WhatsApp assistant. She spans the full stack, from the data and models to the UI.

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

“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.
Andres BirlainCEO, RivusRead the case
You changed our lives. It was a mess for two years and no one could fix it. No one.
