25 Years

Through the Shifting Sand

The stakes are higher. But the call remains the same.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

— Peter Drucker

Over two and a half decades, I’ve the power and destructiveness of technologies, the proverbial tsunami, or closer to home, the monsoon rain that water the crop and refreshes the city air but bring sudden floods of change and often leave behind unmitigated carnage. I saw the rise to prominence of Internet search, an extension to our human minds to know and remember. The birth of mobile that extends our ability to act as fast as we can think. The rise of cloud computing and the explosion of social media saturate our lives with everything digital. Our world as we knew it, is often unrecognizable at the turn of a technological bend. For better and for worst.

And now, the dawn of AI.

Each shift has come faster, more powerful than the last. And each time, we’ve had to ask the hard questions: How do we keep up? What do we hold on to? What do we let go of? And most importantly—how do we make sure we are not just swept along.

Today, AI is not just a fad; it is a fundamental shift. It reflects how we value our lives, and it will show in the way we are using technology. It's changing how we see ourselves, how we learn, how we work, how we think. For some, it screams of an apocalyptic age. For me—and for us at XIMNET—it feels like a profound responsibility.

Technology as Stewardship

I’ve come to see our work not just as innovation, but as stewardship. We are entrusted with these powerful tools. And it matters deeply what we do with them. It matters where our heart is when we are at the starting point. That’s because where our heart is, is where we will be eventually.

We are now building RAG chatbots, AI-driven content systems, and intelligent workflow agents. We will eventually move into large scale systems, robots and whatever the future brings. These aren’t just technical feats—they are new vessels for human creativity, connection, learning, and action. But the question remains: Who do they serve?

And my answer is clear: they must serve everyone, under God’s world. The small as well as the mighty. The nonprofit as well as the multinational. The student in a remote town or the teacher amongst the urban poor. The single mother running a home business and the father raising a child by himself. The company trying to do more with less or the corporation that wants to achieve more.

Because if technology only serves the strong, it will deepen the divide. But if guided well, it can be the great equalizer. The end of our work is not technology, or even profit. The end of what we do is the good of everyone.

I’ve come to see our work not just as innovation, but as stewardship.

A Team That Believes

None of this would be possible without the people beside me. Our team at XIMNET is not just skilled—they are heart-driven. Many of them have walked with me for years, growing not just in ability, but in wisdom.
I’ve seen interns become leaders, coders become mentors, designers become mothers. We’ve cried through losses and laughed through breakthroughs. We’ve prayed together when we didn’t have answers, and we’ve celebrated when the fruit came unexpectedly.

This company is a family. And what binds us is not code—it’s calling.

The Future We're Building

As we enter the next chapter, we are transforming XIMNET into an AI-first agency. Not because it’s trendy, but because we believe we can help shape this wave for good.

We are:

Training our people to be AI-native in mindset, not just in tools.
Building systems that simplify, clarify, and dignify human work.
Partnering with clients who want technology that is not just smart, but wise.

And we’re doing it with our feet grounded in something deeper: faith, integrity, compassion.
We believe AI should not replace people, but restore them—to more meaningful, creative, impactful work. To lives with more presence, not more pressure.

...we’re doing it with our feet grounded in something deeper: faith, integrity, compassion.

My Personal Reflection

As I reflect on these 25 years, I feel deep gratitude—but also a sense of trembling. The wave has grown. The stakes are higher. But the call remains the same.

I’m no longer the young man with boundless energy and endless nights. I’m now a husband, a father to three, including a newborn son who reminds me daily of the kind of future I want to help build.

I want him to grow up in a world where technology serves the human spirit. Where systems are just, tools are kind, and people are not lost in the noise—but seen, heard, and empowered.

That’s the legacy I hope we’re building at XIMNET. One codebase at a time. One relationship at a time. One wave at a time.

Thank you to every client, teammate, and friend who has walked with us. Your trust has been our anchor, and your partnership, our propulsion.

Here’s to the next wave—and the next 25 years.

Nisi Dominus Frustra. All things are in vain without God.
