Portland Kubernetes + AI infrastructure, solved in 90 days
Portland — Intel's largest US fab footprint (Hillsboro), Lam Research's Albany campus, a deep cleantech and renewables corridor, and a long tradition of independent engineering teams. Senior platform engineering for the Pacific Northwest.
Why Portland
Kubernetes consulting services
built for Portland's market
Portland is one of the most quietly important engineering markets in the country. Intel's Hillsboro campus (the largest concentration of Intel engineers in the world), Lam Research, and a growing renewables/cleantech cluster (Energy Trust of Oregon, Vestas, Recology) anchor the metro. There is also a deep culture of independent engineering — small teams that work extremely well when supported by senior platform engineering leadership. THNKBIG delivers that leadership for both large enterprise and high-performing small teams.
Key Industries
Serving Portland's top verticals
Semiconductor & Hardware
Intel (Hillsboro), Lam Research (Albany), and an emerging fab-construction cluster need platform-grade Kubernetes for design automation, yield analytics, and tightly-integrated manufacturing IT.
Cleantech & Renewables
Oregon's cleantech and renewables ecosystem — solar, wind, EV charging, and storage — needs modern cloud platforms. We build the digital infrastructure for the energy transition.
Studios & Interactive
Portland is a serious game, film, and animation studio hub. Studios need Kubernetes platforms tuned for high-bandwidth rendering pipelines, asset management, and global collaboration across distributed teams.
Independent Engineering Shops
Portland has a strong tradition of independent engineering teams — often small, often excellent. We provide the senior platform leadership those teams need to scale without becoming a bureaucratic platform group.
Why THNKBIG
Portland's hardest Kubernetes
and AI infrastructure problems, solved
Portland's culture rewards independent engineering judgment over process theater. Our engagements there focus on technical decisions and shipped outcomes — not on consultant-branded reports nobody reads. Every engagement ships in 90 days with measurable outcomes — cost reduction, deployment frequency, uptime, compliance posture — not slide decks. We build the platform, hand over the runbooks, and make ourselves unnecessary.
