From the Marine Corps, to a top cybersecurity company, to building AI that earns you money
I'm Phibby. I spent four years in the United States Marine Corps protecting government computer networks from hackers. I was stationed in Okinawa, Japan and at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, and the Marines awarded me a Certificate of Commendation for building tools that kept our networks safe.
After the Marines, I spent three years at CrowdStrike, one of the largest cybersecurity companies in the world. My job was helping make sure the security software that protects huge companies could not be broken into.
Here is what most people miss about that background: when you spend years defending real systems from real attacks, you learn fast that good software has to actually work the first time, every time. It can't break in the middle of the night and cost a business its customers. That is the standard I hold every Ezyscale build to.
I started Ezyscale because I kept watching small and mid-sized businesses lose thousands of dollars to missed phone calls, busywork, and old fashioned manual tasks that should have been handled by a computer years ago. The tools to fix this exist. Most agencies just don't build them the right way.
If something we build for you can't pay for itself, I won't sell it to you. Simple as that.
