Engineering the future,
one system at a time.

Cameron Malone — founder of Malone Technologies LLC. Building intelligent systems at the intersection of AI, embedded hardware, robotics, power systems, and cybersecurity. From microcontrollers with 100KB of RAM to 200B-parameter model fine-tuning.

Full-Stack Engineer.
Cross-Domain Builder.

I build systems that bridge the full depth of engineering — from bare-metal firmware and custom PCB design to deep reinforcement learning research and GPU-accelerated AI pipelines. My work spans electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, robotics, and machine learning, often on the same project.

My master's thesis develops a dual-purpose reinforcement learning agent capable of both energy management and cybersecurity defense for microgrids — an autonomous system that controls power distribution while simultaneously detecting, defending against, and responding to cyberattacks in real time.

What Drives Me

I love hard problems. I love complexity. I love the moment when a system that spans five engineering disciplines clicks into place and works — and I love the grind it takes to get there.

I've spent years building across the full stack of engineering — implementing the Tailscale protocol from scratch in C for a microcontroller with 100KB of RAM, designing RL agents that autonomously defend power grids from cyberattacks, training billion-parameter language models on custom datasets. Every domain I've entered has deepened my ability to solve problems in the others. Electrical engineering, computer engineering, machine learning, embedded systems, cybersecurity, robotics, graphics programming — I went deep in all of them because that's where the most interesting problems live: at the boundaries.

Complexity doesn't intimidate me. It motivates me. Every new challenge is an opportunity to sharpen my skills and expand what I'm capable of. I've built my career around the belief that the most impactful engineering happens when you refuse to stay in one lane.

Open to contracts, collaborations, research partnerships, and consulting engagements.
Terms, Refunds & Support.
Plain-language terms for clients engaging Malone Technologies LLC.

About Malone Technologies LLC

Malone Technologies LLC is a single-member limited liability company registered in the State of Tennessee, United States. We provide consulting, custom engineering, AI/ML model development, embedded systems, and cybersecurity services to business clients on a contract basis. We do not sell physical goods or subscription products.

Customer Support

For invoice questions, project-status inquiries, technical support on delivered work, billing disputes, or any other matter, contact:

Email: cameron@malone-technologies.com
Response time: within two (2) business days, Monday–Friday, 9am–6pm Central Time.
Mailing address available on request for formal correspondence.

Pricing & Invoicing

All engagements are priced per scope of work agreed in writing before work begins. Invoices are issued in U.S. Dollars through Stripe and are due within fourteen (14) days of issue unless a different term is stated on the invoice. Payment methods accepted: credit/debit card, ACH, wire transfer, and paper check. Late payments may accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by Tennessee law, whichever is lower.

Refund & Dispute Policy

Because Malone Technologies LLC delivers customized professional services rather than off-the-shelf products, refund eligibility depends on whether work has been performed:

  • Before work has begun: any deposit or prepayment is fully refundable within seven (7) days of invoice payment. Email cameron@malone-technologies.com to request a refund.
  • During an engagement: if the client cancels, they remain responsible for any work already performed at the agreed hourly or milestone rate. Any prepaid balance in excess of work performed is refunded within fourteen (14) business days.
  • After delivery: completed, accepted deliverables are non-refundable. If the delivered work materially fails to meet the agreed specification, we will remediate at no additional cost until the specification is met.

If you dispute a charge, please contact us directly first — most disputes are resolved faster through email than through a card chargeback. Refunds issued via Stripe are returned to the original payment method and typically appear within 5–10 business days.

Cancellation Policy

Either party may terminate an ongoing engagement with seven (7) days written notice via email. Upon cancellation, Malone Technologies LLC will deliver all work in progress at the current milestone and invoice the client for any unpaid time or deliverables completed up to the cancellation date. Any prepaid amount beyond completed work is refunded per the Refund Policy above.

Terms of Service

By engaging Malone Technologies LLC, the client agrees that:

  • The client has authority to enter into a business agreement on behalf of themselves or the entity they represent.
  • All scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing are defined in a written agreement (email confirmation or signed document) before billable work begins.
  • Intellectual property ownership of custom deliverables transfers to the client upon full payment unless otherwise specified in the engagement agreement. Malone Technologies LLC retains the right to reference the work in a general portfolio capacity unless explicitly prohibited in writing.
  • Malone Technologies LLC's liability is limited to the total amount paid by the client for the engagement. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
  • Services are provided "as is" with the warranty that delivered work will conform to the written specification for thirty (30) days after delivery.
  • The client agrees not to hold Malone Technologies LLC responsible for third-party software, cloud services, or hardware failures outside of our direct control.
  • All engagements are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, United States. Any disputes are resolved in Anderson County, Tennessee.

Privacy

Malone Technologies LLC collects only the information needed to deliver services and process payments: name, email, business name, billing address, and project-related communications. Payment card data is handled exclusively by Stripe and never stored on our systems. We do not sell, rent, or share client data with third parties. Client data is retained for the duration of the engagement plus seven (7) years for tax and legal-record purposes, then destroyed. To request a copy or deletion of your data, email cameron@malone-technologies.com.

Export & Legal Restrictions

Our cybersecurity and AI services may be subject to U.S. export-control regulations (EAR, ITAR) depending on the specific engagement. We do not provide services to individuals or entities located in countries or on lists sanctioned by the U.S. government (OFAC SDN list, entity lists, embargoed nations). Clients are responsible for complying with their local laws regarding any technology or services received.

Policies last updated: April 23, 2026. These policies may be updated from time to time; material changes will be posted to this page with a revised date. Continued engagement after policy changes constitutes acceptance.
