About MadPanda3D
Where Service Meets Innovation
From Okinawa to BACK HOME : A Marine's Mission to Empower Businesses
My name is lEO lara, and I'm the founder of MadPanda3D. From 2012 to 2016, I served as a Marine Corps 7051 Crash Fire Rescue FIREFIGHTER stationed in Okinawa, Japan. In the Corps, I was part of a brotherhood where I witnessed the amazing things that happen when a few good men get together and make a plan. That experience taught me the power of teamwork, precision under pressure, and mission-focused execution - values that drive everything I do today.
The Journey: From Blue Collar to Tech Innovation
After completing my service, I dove into blue collar work, eventually finding my calling in the cell phone tower industry. For five years, I worked my way up to foreman, leading tower crews and managing complex technical projects. WHICH LED ME TO work as an engineer with Amazon, but my entrepreneurial spirit led me to something bigger.
It all started with 3D printing - a simple curiosity that grew into a passion. That's where my love for technology TOOK OFF, and my curiosity for AI led me down the path I'm on now. What began as MadPanda3D, a 3D printing venture, has evolved into something much more significant: a comprehensive technology conglomerate designed to help businesses thrive in the digital age.
The Mission: Leveling the Playing Field
I wanted to help people, especially veterans, build for themselves by offering services that would allow me to be a helping hand in getting them started with their business vision. Here's the reality: it's not a real business if you don't have a website. But with web developers charging thousands for basic websites, many small business owners are priced out of essential services.
That's where I come in. I offer fairly priced alternatives that don't compromise on quality. Starting a business can be hard, especially when you're trying to figure out what to do. As I always say: saved time is made dimes.
3-Dimensional Thinking: Our Approach
What sets MadPanda3D apart is our commitment to 3-dimensional thinking. This means approaching challenges from all angles, being open to new perspectives, and looking at problems 3-dimensionally - not just at surface level. Whether it's building a website, setting up automation, or developing AI solutions, we consider every aspect of your business to deliver solutions that actually work.
Why I Do This
I am a small business owner myself, and I know how complicated all this tech stuff can be. I've spent years studying and learning how to navigate these technologies, and if this is a service I can offer that helps business owners get premium service at a time when everyone is trying to save money, then that's exactly what I'll do.
I'm accessible and direct. I work closely with clients one-on-one to offer the most premium service possible. No corporate bureaucracy, no endless phone trees - just direct communication with someone who understands both the technical challenges and the business realities you face.
What Makes Us Different
We are an AI agency that aims to find ways to leverage the most advanced resources and technologies to offer the best services possible. Depending on your budget and needs, I can be minimally hands-on or fully hands-on. I wear many hats because that's what it takes to deliver results.
Some days I'm a web developer, other days I'm an automation specialist, and sometimes I'm a business strategist. The common thread is always the same: helping you build something that works.
The Vision: Building Something Bigger
My bigger vision is to have an entire team of developers and engineers that can help me extend services even further, making MadPanda3D a nationally known IT conglomerate. But we'll never lose sight of our core mission: helping small businesses and veterans access the technology they need to succeed.
Special Commitment to Veterans
As a veteran myself, I offer special pricing to fellow service members because I believe those who served deserve businesses that work as hard as they do. We understand the challenges of transitioning from military service to business ownership, and we're here to help bridge that gap.
