Why Houston

Kubernetes consulting services
built for Houston's market

Houston is the energy capital of the world and home to the Texas Medical Center — the largest medical complex globally. These aren't just big companies; they're critical infrastructure operators who can't afford downtime or insecure platforms. THNKBIG serves energy majors, O&G midstream companies, and healthcare systems throughout the Greater Houston area with production-grade Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure.

ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Shell — Houston energy majors run some of the most complex real-time data workloads in the world. We build Kubernetes platforms that handle them.

Why THNKBIG

Senior engineers, not
account managers

Houston energy companies often run industrial control systems alongside cloud workloads — a unique integration challenge. We have deep experience designing the OT/IT bridge that lets modern cloud platforms coexist with legacy SCADA systems. We staff every engagement with battle-tested US engineers, not offshore contractors. You talk directly to the people building your infrastructure.

FAQ

Common questions from Houston teams

Can you help us comply with energy sector regulations on Kubernetes?
Yes. We've built Kubernetes environments aligned with NERC-CIP, SOC 2, and FedRAMP for energy companies. We implement policy-as-code, audit logging, encryption, and network isolation from day one — not as an afterthought.
How quickly can you start?
Most engagements kick off within 5–10 business days. We start with a cloud audit, then move into sprint-based delivery.
Do we need to commit to a long-term contract?
No. We offer month-to-month engagements and fixed-scope projects. Most clients start with a 90-day pilot.
Will your team work within our existing tools and workflows?
Yes. We embed with your team using your Jira, Slack, GitHub, and CI tooling. We're an extension of your org, not a separate vendor.
