Networks built the way hyperscalers build them — for federal missions.
InfraSmith Technologies is a Northern Virginia small business led by a technical leader from Google, Meta, AWS, and Microsoft — bringing principal-level network engineering, zero trust, OT security, and AI-driven operations to federal programs.
Principal-level engineering, end to end.
Network architecture & O&M
Enterprise, campus, WAN, and data center design, engineering, and operations across Layer 2/3.
Zero trust & segmentation
Zero trust network implementation, segmentation and micro-segmentation policy design and rollout.
OT & critical infrastructure
Design and security of OT and industrial control networks for critical infrastructure and data center facilities.
Cloud & hybrid networking
Multi-cloud and hybrid connectivity, SD-WAN, and DNS/DHCP/IPAM engineering across major platforms.
Automation & IaC
Network automation and infrastructure-as-code: configuration generation, testing, and auto-mitigation.
AI-driven operations
Automated alerting, triage, and repair workflows that raise availability and cut time-to-restore.
Led where the world's largest networks are built.
The founder has led platform programs from concept to production, directed and mentored engineering teams, and shaped hardware and software vendor roadmaps — at four hyperscalers whose networks serve billions of users daily.
Technical lead for qualification and global deployment of next-generation backbone routing platforms, including first-in-network 400G product introduction; leads engineers delivering secure, mission-critical facility network programs.
Led automation for AI-network repair — alerting, triage, and remediation workflows for GPU-cluster networking supporting AI applications at global scale.
Designed data center network fabrics and next-generation rack architectures for planet-scale storage services; presented designs through review boards to production.
Data center and service networking design, implementation, and troubleshooting for global online services.
Founder: Muhammad Tahir Malik · Founder & Principal Engineer · CCIE R&S #34578 (inactive). InfraSmith was founded in 2026 in Northern Virginia to bring that discipline to the federal mission. Corporate experience described at capability level; specifics available in conversation.
Small-business speed. Hyperscaler command.
Principal-led delivery with senior-only engineering benches as engagements scale. Every project runs with the operational discipline of the world's largest networks: telemetry-driven monitoring, capacity planning, runbooks, configuration and change management, and documentation-complete handoffs. We exist to make primes and program offices look good on the network portions of their missions — and we mobilize fast from Northern Virginia.
