Built for the Long Term
We're a distributed team of engineers who design, build, and maintain core data platforms for government and enterprise clients. Our focus is on systems that endure: reliable, secure, and maintainable from day one.
Pinnacle Technology LLC is an independent engineering partner trusted by public-sector leaders across the U.S. and EU, delivering data platform solutions that support transparency, security, and long-term performance.
Our Story
Founded in 2021 by engineers who saw government agencies struggling with legacy data systems, Pinnacle Technology LLC set out to bridge the gap between critical operational needs and modern platform capabilities.
What began as a focused effort to help organizations unlock the value in their data has evolved into long-term partnerships with federal agencies, state and local governments, and international institutions. We've grown by staying true to our founding principle: build systems that last, not just systems that launch.
Over the years, our focus has remained the same: building reliable systems that make data more accessible, transparent, and useful.
Today, that means helping organizations modernize without disruption. Many of the platforms we support are essential but lack newer capabilities such as automation, analytics, or AI integration. We develop secure wrap-around services that extend and enhance these systems, bringing modern functionality and intelligence without the cost or downtime of full replacement.
When new systems are needed, we implement modern data platforms from the ground up—designed to scale, interoperate, and evolve with our clients' missions. Whether extending existing infrastructure or building entirely new solutions, we engineer for reliability, security, and long-term impact.
By The Numbers
Proven track record delivering reliable, secure data platforms
Our Mission
Our mission is to build data systems that endure—designed for transparency, security, and long-term maintainability.
We help organizations turn complex data into dependable, modern platforms that remain stable and relevant long after launch. Whether enhancing existing infrastructure through automation and AI or implementing new, cloud-ready systems, we deliver solutions built to last.
Our work powers open data initiatives, analytics programs, and transparency platforms across the U.S. and the EU—supporting federal agencies through partnerships with Tyler Technologies, direct engagements with the European Commission, and collaborations with state and local governments.
How We Work
A proven process for building reliable, maintainable systems
Discover
Define goals, users, constraints, and measurable success criteria. We align every project around clear objectives and shared understanding before any code is written.
Design
Architect data models, workflows, and user experiences with security, scalability, and maintainability in mind from the very start.
Build
Develop iteratively with automated testing, version control, and CI/CD pipelines—ensuring every release is stable, traceable, and ready for scale.
Migrate & Launch
Execute rehearsed cutovers, monitored deployments, and rapid stabilization. We handle migrations with precision to minimize downtime and risk.
Enable
Deliver documentation, training, and right-sized support that empower your teams to own and evolve their systems confidently.

Team & Expertise
Our distributed team of senior engineers spans Hawaii, California, and Maryland, providing extended coverage across time zones. Every team member brings 10+ years of experience in public-sector technology, with deep expertise in data platforms, full-stack development, and government systems.
We collaborate through Slack, GitHub, and daily syncs across time zones—maintaining the responsiveness of a small team with the coverage of a distributed workforce. This structure ensures continuity on long-term projects and rapid response to client needs.
We balance stability with flexibility—maintaining dedicated expertise in core platforms while scaling to meet evolving client requirements.
Platform Specialization
We bring deep, platform-specific expertise built over years of implementation and enhancement work:
One of the few independent firms with platform-wide expertise. Implemented the Grapes.js CMS soon to be used across the Socrata ecosystem and delivered 150+ homepage migrations, custom tools, and automation workflows.
Developed and integrated platform extensions, data synchronization tools, and workflow automation solutions for government clients.
Designed and maintained open-source data portals, custom extensions, and metadata harvesting systems for international organizations.
Delivered Drupal-based open data solutions with tailored modules, migration utilities, and accessibility-focused interfaces.
We also build with modern web stacks, including Next.js, React, and Node.js, supported by robust CI/CD pipelines, observability frameworks, and accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA compliance).
Why Pinnacle Works Differently
Our approach is built on measurable outcomes, not just best practices
Built-In Security & Quality
99.9% uptime across 2M+ hours of platform operation. Zero breaches and zero P1 incidents in over two years with the European Commission. Security and quality are engineered in from day one through principle-of-least-privilege access, peer code reviews, automated checks, and continuous observability, never added as an afterthought.
Zero-Overhead Collaboration
We embed directly with your teams, syncing daily across time zones through Slack, Microsoft Teams, and GitHub. This approach combines the responsiveness of a small team with the reach of a distributed workforce. We transfer knowledge thoroughly and leave behind systems that are documented, maintainable, and resilient.
Outcome-Driven Engineering
Every decision we make optimizes for adoption, stability, and clarity. We measure success by what continues to perform, not by tickets closed. For example, our ingestion pipelines deployed 15,000+ datasets for HHS, enabling scalable growth toward their goal of one million datasets—built for repeatability and long-term reliability.
