What I help with

Hands-on engineering and advisory across the lifecycle — from first architecture review to audit-ready operations.

AWS & Cloud Infrastructure

Well-architected environments, migrations, networking, and cost optimization. Right-sized, secure, and documented — built on AWS best practices.

DevOps & Automation

CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation), and operational SOPs that turn manual, error-prone work into repeatable, reviewable automation.

Disaster Recovery & Resilience

DR plans, tested runbooks, and backup strategy designed so a junior operator can recover under pressure. Continuity that survives contact with a real incident.

Startup Fast-Track: SOC 2 & HIPAA

Solid, well-architected infrastructure plus the processes and evidence to reach SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance quickly — so security maturity becomes a sales asset, not a blocker.

How I work

A practical, documentation-first approach. The goal is infrastructure your team can run without me in the room.

  1. 01

    Assess

    Review the current architecture, risks, and gaps against AWS best practices and your compliance targets.

  2. 02

    Architect

    Design a well-architected, automatable environment — captured as Infrastructure as Code, not tribal knowledge.

  3. 03

    Automate

    Stand up CI/CD, IaC, and operational runbooks so deployments and recovery are repeatable and reviewable.

  4. 04

    Harden

    Layer in disaster recovery, security controls, and the evidence trail needed for SOC 2 and HIPAA.

About

Glaser Consulting, LLC is the independent practice of Thomas Glaser. I partner with startups and operations teams that need senior infrastructure and DevOps experience without a full-time hire.

My background is in designing, building, and operating production systems on AWS — with a particular focus on disaster recovery, automation, and the operational discipline that keeps systems running and audit-ready. I write documentation and runbooks that real operators can follow, and I favor Infrastructure as Code so the work outlives any single engagement.

Whether you're standing up a new platform, untangling fragile deployments, or racing toward a compliance deadline, the aim is the same: infrastructure that's solid, understood, and built to recover.
