Infrastructure. Security. Execution.
We build what holds.
ABOUT
// ORIGIN
Ice Streams Systems is a Michigan-based firm built on the principle that the people who understand a system are the ones who should build it.
Founded by a USMC veteran who has worked production floors inside die cast manufacturing, stood next to electrical panels during machine cycles, integrated microcontrollers into industrial environments, and built defense-grade network infrastructure from the ground up. Two worlds. One operator.
// PHILOSOPHY
Most problems aren't technical. They're organizational. Systems fail because nobody understood the whole picture before they started building.
We understand the whole picture first. Then we build: deliberately, cleanly, without loose ends.
// BACKGROUND
- USMC: Data Networking Specialist
- Die Cast Manufacturing: Production Floor & Controls
- Microcontroller Development & Embedded Systems
- Industrial Electrical Panels & OT Integration
- CMMC 2.0 / DFARS 252.204-7012 Compliance
- Network Architecture, PKI & Secure Infrastructure
- Scripting in Bash, PowerShell & C
- RAPID Programming for ABB Robotics
- Web Design & Digital Presence
// APPROACH
Direct communication. Exact deliverables. No scope creep, no upsell, no vague timelines. Work gets done or we talk about why.
The goal is not to stay small. It is to build things that hold at scale: factory infrastructure, embedded hardware, software, and systems that work in the real world under real conditions.
"Built to hold."
SERVICES
Capabilities are broad. Engagements are selective. If the problem is real, we can solve it.
Network Architecture
VLAN segmentation, firewall policy, routing design, infrastructure documentation. Built for compliance, built to scale.
Security & Compliance
CMMC 2.0 readiness, NIST SP 800-171 gap analysis, PKI infrastructure, MFA deployment, audit trail architecture.
Systems Integration
OT/IT convergence, ERP overhaul, production floor automation, monitoring dashboards, data pipeline architecture.
Web & Digital
Production-grade static sites, hosting architecture, domain strategy, business email, contact infrastructure. No templates.
Scripting & Automation
Bash, PowerShell, C. If it can be automated it will be. If it can't, we'll find out why and document it.
[ RESTRICTED ]
Additional capabilities exist. Disclosure on engagement. Inquire directly.
SKILL SETS
Capabilities built through direct execution: not certification alone. Every entry below has been deployed in a real environment under real constraints.
Enclave Technology & Secure Infrastructure
Design and deployment of isolated secure environments meeting federal compliance frameworks. Air-gapped PKI, internal certificate authority chains, CRL distribution, MFA at AAL3, audit trail architecture, LUKS encryption, and GPG key management. Built to withstand assessment: not just pass it.
Network Architecture & Systems Controls
End-to-end network design: VLAN segmentation, firewall policy, routing, DNS, DHCP, and inter-VLAN access control. Directory services, Group Policy, user provisioning, and domain management across mixed OS environments. OPNsense, MikroTik, and enterprise switching at production scale.
Scripting, Automation & Systems Integration
Production scripting in Bash and PowerShell across Linux and Windows environments. Systems-level development in C. Audit and verification scripts, restricted shell hardening, scheduled task automation, OT/IT data pipeline integration, ERP taxonomy architecture, and monitoring dashboards. If it runs on a schedule, it runs clean.
Web Design & Digital Infrastructure
Production static sites built from scratch: custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with intentional design systems, color theory, and fluid responsive layouts. Domain strategy, Cloudflare Pages hosting, DNS configuration, and business email architecture. No templates, no page builders.
Industrial Controls, Embedded Systems & Hardware
Grounded in years of production floor experience inside die cast manufacturing: machine cycles, electrical panels, pneumatic systems, sensor integration, and the gap between what hardware does and what software thinks it does. Microcontroller development in C, embedded logic, and modern control architecture for industrial environments. RAPID programming for ABB industrial robots — not as a curiosity, as a production tool. The long-term objective is clear: modernize factory electrical infrastructure and bring capable, serviceable technology to production floors that have been running on legacy systems for decades.

CONTACT
// INITIATE
Engagements begin with a direct conversation. No intake forms that route to a queue. No automated responses.
If the problem fits, we talk. If it doesn't, we'll say so.
