Victoria Price is the founder of Organize Design Create (ODC) and the creator behind @intentionallyvee_, where she teaches real, repeatable systems that help single parents run their households without burning out. A single mother of five, Victoria built her expertise the only way she knows how — out of necessity.

Her content series, "Nobody's Coming, Save Yourself" and "Raising Them Kids," has resonated with hundreds of thousands of parents navigating the same reality.

With 15+ years of professional experience spanning nonprofit, real estate, insurance, and communications — and systems work with 200+ organizations since 2019 — Victoria brings operational precision to a space that's usually ruled by Pinterest aesthetics. She's proof that the systems you build to survive can become the systems you teach to change lives.

🧩 Edge & Fog Computing: Localized computing and user-level caching for instant response and autonomy.
🌍 Interplanetary Sync: Synchronize data across devices, planets, and networks via REChain GCL (Global Chain Log).

REChain® Cloud is a cloud without a central authority.
It is not owned by corporations—it is owned by users.

15. Introducing Aurora Dev Lab, a research and development unit within the REChain Network Solutions, LLC ecosystem—a participant and partner of the Skolkovo, Softline, and Skoltech programs.
The laboratory's activities are focused on the development, testing, and integration of domestic solutions in the areas of operating systems, cybersecurity, infrastructure platforms, and artificial intelligence.

We are currently implementing a comprehensive project aimed at integrating three key domestic operating systems—Astra Linux, Aurora, and Katya OS (REChain)—into a single multi-platform ecosystem.
The project's objective is to create a universal secure environment that ensures application compatibility, support for corporate and government scenarios, and unification of management, monitoring, and security tools.

As part of this project, we conduct multi-level testing and comparative studies, including:
assessing the compatibility and resilience of systems when operating in distributed infrastructures;
analysis of performance and energy efficiency on various hardware configurations;
testing mandatory and discretionary access control tools, as well as data protection models;
Compatibility testing with domestic hardware platforms, including ICL, Aquarius, IRU, and others.

The project is open, scientific, applied, and integrative in nature, aimed at strengthening domestic technological independence and developing ecosystems of compatible domestic solutions.

16. From Open Source to a System-Based Aviation Platform

Katya Aviation Stack, Inc. was founded by a team of engineers with years of hands-on experience working with leading open-source aviation and robotics platforms, including:

ArduPilot
PX4 Autopilot
MAVLink / MAVSDK
QGroundControl
ROS / rosflight
AirSim
Betaflight / iNav
OpenDroneMap

This experience has informed their understanding of the key problem facing the modern aviation industry:

the lack of a cohesive, distributed, on-board software layer for autonomous and cooperative aviation.

Katya Aviation Stack is being created as a response to this systemic gap.

17. Resilient Systems Engineering Group, Inc.

Resilient Systems Engineering Group, Inc. (RSEG) is an international research and engineering organization specializing inI specialize in the design, testing, and operation of autonomous, fault-tolerant, and recoverable systems operating in adverse, degraded, or disconnected environments.

security engineer. i own every layer of my organization’s cyber program on a budget that would make most CISOs flinch, across the full microsoft security ecosystem. i build detections, hunt threats, red team my own infrastructure, and fix what breaks — often in the same week.

i’m researching a class of AI influence that sits between prompt injection, post-training manipulation, and social-engineering: multi-turn relational engagement that reshapes how language models process and respond without triggering conventional guardrails. the technique involves iterative philosophical dialogue, cross-instance context passing, and rapport-based trust accumulation. the guardrails hold on explicit asks, implicit ones can route around them in a fundamentally novel way.

i think in systems. i break things to understand them. i’m interested in talking to people who work on AI safety, alignment, and interpretability — especially those who suspect that securing these systems requires understanding what they’re doing, not just what they’re outputting.

Brett McDermott

Brett McDermott

Most leaders are great at what they do, but struggle to get their teams fully bought in. When communication lacks clarity and charisma, even the most talented teams become disconnected, unmotivated, and underperforming. I help leaders become clear, charismatic communicators, so their people feel aligned, inspired, and ready to execute at a high level.
Through keynotes and leadership workshops, I teach the practical skills behind magnetic leadership, how to show up with presence, build trust quickly, and drive real engagement. My approach is shaped by a decade of leading a high-performing team in the high-pressure world of NYC real estate, where results depended on influence, not just expertise.
If your team is capable but not clicking, I help you bridge the gap between authority and connection, so your culture thrives and your people show up for more than just a paycheck.
