Services

Cabell Technical Svcs provides cybersec­urity and engineering consulting for indiv­iduals and small businesses in pursuit of bettering the relationship between humans and technology. I advise on projects that protect people or small businesses from digital harm or that use technology to improve people’s relationships to each other, their community, or their society.

Behind my services, I have over half a decade of continuing experience as a senior engineer building industry-leading enterprise software applications in the cyber intelligence and cryptography domains. I offer a selection of free resources, available on this website. I may consider pro bono services for nonprofit entities. For inquiries, email william@[this website].

Personal cybersecurity

Securing your digital life often feels more grounded in superstition than in science. For many, concerns about personal privacy lurk in every corner of 21st-century life. It’s easy to become paranoid and waste effort on outdated or misguided rituals that might make you feel safe, but don’t do anything to actually make you safe.

I offer personal cybersecurity consulting to teach you about the threats facing modern digital citizens, secure your digital assets, and protect your privacy. We will craft a program suited to your unique needs, whether you run a company, face personal threats, or just want to feel more secure.

Small business cybersecurity

Cybercriminals disproportionately target small businesses for cyberattacks. Small businesses typically have limited resources available for cyber defense and frequently operate on community trust. At the same time, they often have limited resources to recover from cyberattacks. So when small businesses become victims, the community around them suffers.

I offer consulting services to help small businesses profile the threats they face, write policies to mitigate risk, train employees on secure cyber practices, and implement systems to stay safe—while keeping operations running smoothly.

Software engineering

Startups and small tech companies can encounter all sorts of problems with software they’ve built in-house: performance, reliability, and extensibility over time being some of the most common. Fortunately, over many years of collective experience, the software engineering industry has found ways to deal with most of these problems.

I offer engineering consulting services based on years of experience constructing performant and reliable enterprise software systems. I’ve designed and built systems that have processed petabytes of data per day, thrived over years of changing business and technical requirements, and performed securely and reliably in the critical security path of trillions of consumer credit card transactions. If it’s technically possible, I can help your systems achieve whatever your business needs them to.
