About TMBW
TMBW LLC stands for Technology Making a Better World. It is not a slogan — it is the test we apply to every decision.
The promise of AI was that powerful tools would reach everyone. In practice, the most capable systems have flowed first to the largest enterprises — the organizations that already had the most resources, the most staff, and the most leverage.
The school district with one IT person and two thousand students is still on her own. The small manufacturing shop is still patching switches at midnight. The non-profit office manager is still guessing why the WiFi keeps dropping.
TMBW exists to close that gap. Our work is to bring the same grade of operational intelligence the largest companies enjoy to the organizations the giants do not serve.
Principle 01
On a network, the cost of a wrong move is real. NELDA always surfaces a recommendation. A human approves. Then she executes.
Principle 02
NELDA runs on-premise. Network telemetry, configurations, and logs do not leave the customer's environment. Privacy is structural, not promised.
Principle 03
The people we serve are not vendors of their own networks; they are stewards of them. Our software speaks their language, not ours.
Principle 04
Most organizations are not Fortune 500s. They deserve enterprise-grade tools at a price that respects their reality.
Founder & CEO, TMBW LLC
Tom founded TMBW LLC in late 2025 after more than two years developing NELDA — a virtual network admin built specifically for the small organizations and rural school districts that most enterprise tooling overlooks.
Based in the Seattle, WA area, Tom leads product, engineering, and the broader vision of bringing operational AI to the long tail of underserved networks.
