Founded by scientists and engineers with a passion for building.
Dr. Jared Fuchs
Founder & CEO
Jared is a physicist with a background in high-energy instrumentation, project management, and system engineering. He holds a PhD in Physics from the University of Alabama in Huntsville developing detector systems for measuring cosmic-rays and gamma-ray bursts onboard small satellites. As the program manager for the Alabama CubeSat Initiative, he has worked on several satellite projects and mission proposals with NASA.
Dr. Chris Helmerich
Founder & CTO
Chris is a physicist with a background in project management, artificial intelligence, and high-energy physics. He holds a PhD in Physics from the University of Alabama in Huntsville where he led a research team on the development and deployment of gamma-ray instrumentation measuring high-energy radiation from thunderstorms. Chris also has experience through work at NASA, Jacobs, and ExoAnalytic Solutions, where he focused on creating machine learning models for anomaly detection, building UI-based tools for faster software testing, and deploying convolutional neural networks for satellite detection and classification.
Steve Holland, MA
Founder & CXO
Steve is a human factors engineer currently working in the aviation industry. With professional experience in flight test and evaluation, Steve brings knowledge of the validation and verification sides of systems engineering to the team. Steve holds a Masters in Human Factors and Applied Cognition from George Mason University, where he researched and published work on human-AI teaming, specifically how AI affects human response time and accuracy. He also has experience programming in several languages alongside a traditional psychology bachelors degree.
Ian Slamen, MS
Founder & COO
Ian is a systems engineer with a strong background in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), bridging academic research and industry practice. He holds a Bachelor's in Aerospace Engineering and a Master's in Systems Engineering from George Washington University. Ian has contributed to development on aerial platforms including the UH-60 Blackhawk, FLRAA, and Unified Vehicle Control through his work at Collins Aerospace and the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI). His current focus is on applying AI to MBSE processes to accelerate prototyping and improve lifecycle outcomes in aerospace and defense systems.
