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.
ISS draws on direct field experience across manufacturing engineering and systems administration: CNC machining, die cast production, industrial electrical panel diagnosis and repair, control system design, and defense-grade network infrastructure built to federal compliance standards. The work has been done under real constraints, in real environments, without a safety net.
Discretion is a working discipline here, not a policy statement. Sensitive engagements handled accordingly.
// 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.
// CAPABILITY AREAS
- Manufacturing Engineering: CNC & Die Cast Production
- Industrial Electrical: Panel Diagnosis, Repair & Design
- Systems Administration: Network, Identity & Infrastructure
- Embedded Systems & Microcontroller Development
- Secure Enclave Architecture: CMMC 2.0 / DFARS 252.204-7012
- Robotics: RAPID Programming for ABB Industrial Systems
- Scripting & Automation: Bash, PowerShell, C
- Web & Digital Infrastructure
// 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. ISS is built to grow into a firm that designs and ships its own products: embedded systems, operational dashboards, and platform software for industries that have been underserved by technology for too long.
"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. Foundation for platform and product development.
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 ]
Product development, embedded platform work, and engagements requiring discretion. Disclosure on contact. 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.
Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Controls & Embedded Systems
Production floor experience across CNC machining and die cast manufacturing. Industrial electrical panels: fault diagnosis, component replacement, and design contribution. Sensor integration, control system architecture, and the gap between what hardware does and what software assumes it does. Microcontroller development in C. RAPID programming for ABB industrial robots as a production tool, not a hobby. The trajectory: design and ship embedded systems and operational software that modernize factory infrastructure at scale.
[ ADDITIONAL CAPABILITIES: RESTRICTED ]
Additional capabilities and active development projects exist outside this disclosure. Handled with appropriate discretion. Inquire directly.
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.
