The SysOp

Todd LeBaron — Navy veteran, Air Force AI engineer, STRATCOM wargamer, global consultant, company founder, and AI platform architect.

Started on PDP-11s and Apple IIes in the early ’80s. Flew anti-submarine warfare missions in the Pacific. Ran DARPA AI research at Rome Labs with teams from MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and Stanford. Directed nuclear deterrence wargaming systems at STRATCOM on 30-year-old mainframes.

Left the military for the private sector — Andersen Consulting, then London to lead EMEA services at Callidus. Came back to Austin and founded OpenSymmetry, grew it to a $30M professional services firm across 17 industries.

Now in Scottsdale building AI Code Rally — an enterprise governance platform for AI-assisted development. Everything from the military discipline to the AI research to the consulting to the company-building feeds into what we’re creating.

The machines changed. The mission didn’t.

  COMPUTING HISTORY
═══════════════════════════════════════════════

A Journey Through Computing

Mainframes (1970s-80s)

The big iron era. Green screens and JCL job cards.

Symbolics Lisp Machine (1980s)

Genera OS. The most exotic machine I ever touched.

Apple IIe (1983)

Green phosphor CRT. Applesoft BASIC. That ] prompt.

BBS / Dial-Up (Late 80s-90s)

ANSI art and 14.4k modems.

Sun SPARCstation / OpenLook (Early 90s)

Those rounded pushpins and distinctive scrollbars.

SGI IRIX (Mid 90s)

The purple-teal Indigo Magic desktop. The coolest workstation ever made.

NeXTSTEP (Late 80s-Early 90s)

Dark gray panels. Where the web was born.

BeOS (Late 90s)

Yellow tab bars. Ahead of its time.
