Federal and Government (FedRAMP / NIST)
Contractor and federal-program engineering: FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, CAGE 7SZQ7, legacy modernization inside a federal boundary.
Government
Civic and program software for governments that already have constituents, records, and a procurement calendar.
Senior engineers for state, local, and civic systems. Federal contractor delivery — FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, CAGE 7SZQ7 — lives on the Federal page, not in a GovTech feature grid.
Government software engineering without a digital-transformation slogan
This page is for state, local, and civic program systems — records, legislator and constituent workflows, city operations — delivered by senior engineers. Named work in this repo includes the City of Allentown, the National Conference of State Legislators, Buchanan-Edwards, ICE, and the U.S. Department of State. If you are a federal contractor who needs FedRAMP alignment, NIST 800-53 implementation, or legacy modernization inside a federal boundary, use /industries/federal/. We are headquartered in Ashburn, Virginia. We do not lead with a project counter or a transformation headline. Accessibility (Section 508 / WCAG) is a scoped constraint when the audience is the public, not a badge.

The problem
Civic work sold as federal ATO theater
City portals and legislative tools are not FedRAMP packages. Mixing them produces the wrong controls and the wrong engineers.
Legacy systems nobody is allowed to turn off
Records and constituent workflows have to keep running. Modernization is a sequence, not a transformation slogan.
Accessibility as a slide
Section 508 is implementation and testing. It is not a fourth stat on a hero.
Where government buyers should go next
Compliance Engineering
Controls in code — access, logging, encryption — when the program has a real audit path.
Compliance EngineeringLegacy Modernization
Phased migration of aging government systems without a big-bang cutoff.
Legacy ModernizationCTO Advisory
Senior technical ownership for vendor evaluation and architecture when a full-time CTO is not on the contract.
CTO AdvisoryNot sure which path?
A thirty-minute scoping call. We will map the right engagement — or tell you if we are not the fit.
City of Allentown and NCSL
Municipal and legislative systems in our case studies — civic work with names, not a project counter.
ICE and Department of State
Named federal program work. If your need is ATO-shaped, continue on the Federal page.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the Federal page?
Federal is for contractors and programs inside FedRAMP/NIST boundaries. This page is civic, state, local, and program systems. If you are not sure, start with Federal for anything that smells like an ATO, and this page for city or legislative operations.
Which government engagements are named?
City of Allentown PA, National Conference of State Legislators, Buchanan-Edwards, ICE, and the U.S. Department of State appear in our case studies. Ask which ones match your procurement and stack.
Are you FedRAMP authorized?
FedRAMP engineering and evidence work is described on /industries/federal/. Do not treat this civic page as an authorization brochure.
Do you meet Section 508?
Public-facing services are scoped to WCAG 2.1 AA / Section 508 when that is a requirement. We test; we do not print “compliant” as a stat without that scope.
Can you modernize a legacy government system?
Yes — incrementally. Same modernization practice as Federal, with a sequence that keeps the current process running. Details for federal boundaries belong on the Federal page.
Where is Maxiom based?
Ashburn, Virginia (Washington, DC metro). Remote and hybrid delivery is normal; proximity is not a substitute for senior engineers.
How do government engagements start?
A scoping call on the agency, the current system, accessibility and records constraints, and whether FedRAMP/NIST applies. If it does, we send you to Federal before anyone asks for a repo.
Who staffs the work?
Senior engineers. A named engineer owns the engagement. Client systems stay in client environments.
