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. These three principles decide how we work, who we hire, and what we ship.
Commitment
The work isn’t done at the demo or the award. It’s done when it ships and holds up under real conditions. We stay embedded until the mission is in production, see hard problems all the way through, and stand behind what we deliver.
Unity
The mission is bigger than any one of us. Align diverse strengths around a common goal and the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. Debate openly, decide together, then move forward as one. Pulling in the same direction is how the hardest problems get solved.
Agency
People have the final say. Individuals own their work and are accountable for it, with the room to exercise real control over their decisions. Leaders are there to provide counsel, not commands. The person at the helm stays empowered by many perspectives while their own talent, experience, and judgment carry the day.
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.
SMART Workspace
Browser-accessible, kernel-isolated Linux dev environments, deployable on infrastructure you own, with a tamper-evident, signed audit trail. See the platform.
Secure cloud platforms
Cloud-native platforms engineered and operated on Kubernetes, with DevSecOps pipelines that carry code from commit to production while producing continuous compliance evidence.
Post-quantum defense
We lead product development and integration of QryptoTrust’s ZAP, automating post-quantum certificate generation, verification, distribution, and compliance into one zero-trust workflow.
Leadership
A deliberately small, elite team. Every member is a domain expert and directly mission-critical.
Thanh Tong
Founder & CEO · Strategy and Engineering Lead. Sets the strategic vision and is accountable for technical direction that drives value alignment across the mission, with deep experience carrying 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 government work
Small business & SDB
A self-certified Small Disadvantaged Business, minority-owned (Asian-Pacific American), under NAICS 541511. Awards to 76DEV advance agency small-business and SDB goals.
Firm-fixed-price delivery
A predictable, fixed price with schedule and productivity risk on us, not the agency. It is now the federal default. No timesheet reconciliation, no ceiling tracking, no surprise change orders.
