About 76DEV
Most companies get rewarded and disappear.
76DEV doesn't. We build secure applications and cloud platforms for missions that can't wait, and we stay embedded from prototype to production, guided by the principles of Commitment, Unity, and Agency.
Who we are
76DEV is an American-owned small business in the Washington, DC metro area. We close the gap between emerging technology and production, embedding domain engineers inside the mission from early evaluation all the way through delivery.
What we believe
Technology is only as trustworthy as the people who build it.
Commitment
The work isn’t done at the demo or the award. It’s done when it ships and holds up under real conditions.
Unity
The mission is bigger than any one of us. Debate openly, decide together, then move forward as one.
Agency
Individuals own their work and have the final say. Leaders provide counsel, not commands.
What we do
SMART stands for Secure Mission Accelerated Readiness Technology. We ship products and integrate frontier security into the platforms our customers already run.
SMARTwork Spaces
Kernel-isolated Linux dev environments on infrastructure you own. See the platform.
Secure cloud platforms
Kubernetes platforms with DevSecOps pipelines that produce continuous compliance evidence.
Post-quantum defense
Product development and integration of QryptoTrust’s ZAP: post-quantum certificates in one zero-trust workflow.
Leadership
A deliberately small, elite team.
Thanh Tong
Founder & CEO · Strategy and Engineering Lead. Carries complex systems from early evaluation through production in regulated, mission-critical environments.
Capt. William Edwards, USN (Ret.), Ph.D.
Cryptographic & Information-Assurance Advisor. Commissioned from the Naval Academy, a career naval cryptographer with a Caltech Ph.D. and published research in secure 5G and 6G.
Cavalry incoming
Reinforcements are on the way. We’re actively growing the team with mission-driven leaders who share these principles. See open roles.
Built for how government works now
Rapid, prioritized, outcomes-focused. We contract the way missions actually move.
Small business & SDB
A self-certified Small Disadvantaged Business, minority-owned (Asian-Pacific American), under NAICS 541511.
Firm-fixed-price delivery
A predictable, fixed price with schedule risk on us, not the agency. It is now the federal default.
