IT & Cybersecurity Consulting
Available for consulting engagements — systems built and defended by someone who runs his own.
Tell me a bit about what you need and I'll get back to you.
I'm Thomas — United States Marine Corps veteran (MOS 0671, Data Systems Administrator) and founder of GhostPort Technologies, with a background in IT and cybersecurity. I design, build, and operate GhostPort's own production infrastructure across multiple AWS regions — encrypted networking, security hardening, and the monitoring and incident response that keeps it running. If your team needs outside help with IT or cybersecurity work like that, that's what I do.
What I can help with
Infrastructure & Security Hardening
Rate limiting, intrusion detection, service sandboxing, certificate management, log-driven banning. Practical hardening for systems that have to stay online and stay honest.
Incident Response Playbooks
Severity-tiered response plans that tell your team exactly what to do in the first 15 minutes of an incident, and how to close it out without losing the lessons learned.
Network & VPN Architecture
WireGuard and VPN design, encrypted tunnels, multi-region routing. Built and running in production, not just diagrammed.
General IT & Systems Consulting
Linux systems administration, automation, and hands-on infrastructure work. If it doesn't fit neatly into the first three boxes, ask anyway.
Why work with me
- I run live production infrastructure right now. Multi-region, public-facing, handling real traffic — this isn't theoretical consulting.
- Marine Corps background in IT and cybersecurity, including secure communications and keeping adversarial traffic out of networks that couldn't afford to go down.
- I write the same documentation I'd write for you. Security hardening guides, incident response procedures, and system runbooks — you can see the approach in action running GhostPort itself.
- Direct engagement. No account managers, no sales layer. You work with the person doing the work.
