Who Are We?
Our CEO Christopher Meyer is a visionary in technology innovation, specializing in artificial intelligence for financial technology. With a career spanning software engineering, systems architecture, and AI-driven development across sectors from national defense to finance, he has guided both for-profit and nonprofit organizations through complex technology landscapes, including during the COVID-19 pandemic. He holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Computer Science from Kansas State University, with minors in Economics and Japanese. His academic work focused on AI for universal language translation and financial systems, complemented by a year at Chukyo University in Japan. Dedicated to philanthropy and STEM education, he mentors in Florida’s K-12 schools and champions responsible AI innovation to transform financial systems, optimize trading strategies, and enhance risk management to drive economic growth and efficiency.
Our CTO Dave Maynard is a leader in the video game and simulation training industries, with over three decades of technological innovation. After earning a Computer Science degree with a Mathematics minor from Florida State University, he has built a career of over 24 years in simulation and training. He has held roles including Developer, Software Architect, Technical Lead, Chief Innovator, Project Manager, and Vice President of Technology, amassing dozens of copyrights and co-authoring multiple patents with Lockheed Martin. For over 15 years, he led high-level “Think-Tank” research teams, pioneering cutting-edge military training technologies often adapted from high-fidelity video game technologies. A sought-after speaker, he has presented globally to audiences including key members of the US Congress and various federal departments, highlighting the transformative role of future-grade technologies in military and civilian agencies. His collaborations span every branch of the US Military, the FBI, CIA, DARPA, DHS, the UK Ministry of Defence, and numerous other agencies.
Behind Closed Doors, Beyond the Headlines
Our team’s history includes decades of pioneering work in advanced technology, much of it developed in environments where innovation operates far from the public eye. Many of our most impactful projects live in highly specialized domains, bound by the highest levels of confidentiality. While we can’t showcase that work here, the results continue to shape industries, inform critical missions, and push the boundaries of what’s possible.
If you’d like to discuss our capabilities — or if you have a highly proprietary or classified project that could benefit from strategic, think-tank level engineering expertise — feel free to reach out.
In an era where AI can fake a face, a voice, or an entire company overnight, we stand apart: flesh-and-blood innovators with decades of hard-earned results and résumés that are as real — and as verifiable — as our track record. And if we’ve contacted you first, rest assured — we’re very real, and the work we do is every bit as extraordinary as it is discreet.
Our best work is locked behind doors the public can never open.
