K.R.A.K.E.N. Corps is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) headquartered in the United States, built on a clear mission of innovation, excellence, and service. The company reflects the values that define military leadership: discipline, integrity, adaptability, and a deep commitment to delivering results. At its core, K.R.A.K.E.N. Corps exists to provide forward-thinking solutions across industries while honoring the spirit of service that continues to guide its work.

That mission is driven by founder Matthew McDonald, a service-disabled veteran and accomplished entrepreneur whose career has been shaped by precision, accountability, and leadership. Matthew served more than eight years in the United States Navy Submarine Force, where he worked as a Quality Assurance Officer responsible for multiple critical systems. In an environment where safety, readiness, and exact execution were essential, he developed the operational discipline and decision-making skills that now define his approach to business. Today, he brings that same focus to building companies that solve real problems, support innovation, and create lasting value.

Through Red Dragon Consulting, Matthew helps businesses strengthen their foundations, prepare for government contracting opportunities, and position veteran-owned companies for long-term success. With Silent Service 3D Printing, he leads advanced additive manufacturing efforts centered on large-format printing, custom materials, and complex fabrication solutions for aerospace and defense applications. Through Blue Ringed Kraken, he advances medical device innovation designed to improve functionality and quality of life for users. With S23D, he expands the creative side of 3D printing by developing custom projects, flexible designs, and products tailored to the board gaming community and beyond.

Together, these ventures reflect both the breadth of Matthew’s expertise and the larger purpose behind K.R.A.K.E.N. Corps: to combine technical capability, entrepreneurial vision, and mission-first leadership in ways that make a meaningful impact. In addition to leading these companies, Matthew is also a full-time doctoral student at Grand Canyon University, a pursuit that underscores his commitment to lifelong learning, continuous improvement, and growth. Whether in business, innovation, or service, K.R.A.K.E.N. Corps stands as a reflection of resilient leadership and a relentless drive to push boundaries, solve complex challenges, and help others succeed.
