Technology built for people the industry overlooks.
OffGlobe is a veteran-owned technology company delivering OT/ICS cybersecurity, applied AI and machine learning, assistive technology research, and federal contract software development.
OT/ICS Cybersecurity
Operational technology security for critical infrastructure operators, built on 25+ years of hands-on industrial experience including 100+ solar facility deployments across the Southeast.
NERC CIP Compliance
Compliance gap analysis and program buildout for solar, wind, and other renewable generation. Covers CIP-003-9 and IBR Category 2 registration requirements.
OT Security Assessments
Site assessments, architecture review, and remediation roadmaps for SCADA, PLC, and industrial network environments.
CMMC OT Scoping
Controlled unclassified information scoping and assessment prep for defense manufacturers with operational technology in scope.
Vendor Remote Access Audits
Review of third-party access paths into OT environments. Identifies the quiet risks that standard IT audits miss.
Incident Response Planning
OT-specific IR playbooks that account for safety systems, continuous operations, and the realities of industrial recovery.
Network Architecture Review
Zone and conduit design, segmentation validation, and zero-trust patterns adapted for 24/7 operational environments.
AI & Machine Learning
Most AI products on the market overpromise. Most of what actually works in production is narrower, quieter, and better-engineered than the marketing suggests. OffGlobe helps technical leaders separate signal from noise and ship the parts that earn their keep.
On-Device ML
Privacy-preserving inference using CoreML, Vision Framework, and YOLO-family models. Runs on the device. No cloud dependency, no data egress, no per-request billing.
AI Strategy Advisory
Direct assessment of where AI fits in your environment and where it does not. Build, buy, or skip. Opinions delivered, not vendor decks.
Industrial ML
Anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and signal analysis for OT environments. Designed to survive sparse labels, noisy sensors, and safety constraints that general-purpose ML tools ignore.
AI-Assisted Development
Practical guidance for engineering teams adopting coding assistants and agentic tools. What actually multiplies output, and what creates technical debt disguised as velocity.
Technical Due Diligence
Independent review of AI vendor claims, model evaluation, and contract language. Useful when the sales team is excited and you want a second opinion before signing.
Executive Briefings
Short, jargon-free sessions for boards and leadership teams. Focused on decisions to make, not concepts to admire.
Assistive Technology
Active R&D in spatial audio and on-device machine learning for accessibility applications. Combines iOS development, Vision-framework object detection, and sonified scene awareness. Pilot study design complete; principal investigator identified.
On-device Machine Learning
Real-time object detection and scene understanding using CoreML, Vision Framework, and YOLO-family models. Runs entirely on the device; no cloud dependency.
Spatial Audio Interfaces
Head-tracked 3D audio rendering for non-visual information display, built with ARKit and the iOS spatial audio stack.
Institutional Partnerships
Open to pilot partnerships with VA Blind Rehabilitation Centers, state commissions for the blind, and low-vision research clinics.
Software & iOS Development
Contract software development with a focus on specialized domains: accessibility, spatial audio, on-device ML, and industrial protocol integration. Published App Store work.
iOS / Swift
Swift, SwiftUI, CoreML, ARKit, and the iOS spatial audio stack. App Store publishing experience.
Systems Languages
Python, Rust, and 6502 assembly. Industrial protocol work including Modbus, RS-485, and DNP3.
Federal Subcontracting
Available as an SDVOSB subcontractor under NAICS 541512 and 541519 to primes pursuing set-aside work.
Long-form technical work, continuous.
Ongoing public writing across four sites covering retro computing, current technology, space, and personal work. One piece per week target. Writing builds the reputation that drives consulting inbound.
imapenguin.com
Retro computing, vintage hardware, and industrial applications of older technology.
milkcrunch.com
Current and near-future technology, opinionated and hype-skeptical.
evadot.com
Space, human expansion, and long-horizon thinking. Companion to the Evadot Podcast (100+ episodes, 2009-2020).

Personal aggregated feed and direct writing from the founder.
Michael Doornbos
Service-disabled Navy veteran (1993-1999, Gulf War era, Honorable discharge) with 25+ years of technology work spanning enterprise security, industrial operations, software development, and applied machine learning. Currently CTO, focused on OT/ICS environments for critical infrastructure operators.
The service-connected disability that ended a physical career became the reason for a technical one. OffGlobe is built around work that puts that expertise to use: software, consulting, and R&D that produce value from a desk.
