Capability statement

Development

• Production engineering for security-sensitive applications and SDKs — design, build, ship, harden
• Web applications and SaaS platforms — front-end, back-end, API design, and multi-tenant architecture
• Native mobile and desktop applications — iOS, Android, macOS — and SDKs that ship to other engineering teams
• Database design and performance, cryptographic libraries, FFI bridges, and internal tooling for engineering and security workflows

Security

• Source-code audits, threat modeling, and attack-surface analysis across application and systems codebases
• Mobile security depth — anti-tamper, runtime integrity, reverse-engineering protection, secure enclave, certificate pinning, NDK/JNI hardening, WhiteBox cryptography
• Binary analysis, decompilation, and obfuscation-bypass research across ARM64 and x86-64 targets
• Standards-aligned assessments — OWASP MASVS / MASTG, NIST baselines, DoD and DHS evaluation criteria; secure-by-design review gates and auditor-ready documentation

Strategy

• Technical due diligence and architecture review for state IT modernization and federal technology programs
• Procurement, vendor-risk, and build-vs-buy advisory for engineering and security programs
• Roadmap and capability planning — security strategy, modernization, cross-platform initiatives
• Engagement structuring — California SB Option direct-buy, prime subcontract (T&M), direct contract (FFP)

Cloud

• Cloud architecture and delivery across AWS, Azure, and GCP — landing zones, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, containerized and serverless workloads
• Cloud security engineering — IAM, network segmentation, secrets management, posture hardening to NIST 800-53 and FedRAMP-aligned baselines
• Migration and modernization, with security and cost review at each gate

Test, QA & IV&V

• Independent verification and validation (IV&V) for state IT and federal programs
• Test engineering at scale — automated functional, regression, API, and end-to-end suites in CI
• Performance, load, and resilience testing; accessibility and Section 508 / WCAG conformance testing

Applied AI & agentic

• LLM integration and retrieval pipelines for document-heavy government workflows
• Agentic systems — task orchestration, tool use, human-in-the-loop review
• AI assurance — evaluation harnesses, red-teaming, and security review of model-backed features

Security-grade rigor

Every line of development and strategy work goes through the threat-modeling and audit hygiene that shipped in federal-grade mobile — applied as a quality bar, not as a vertical.

Principal-level only

Every engagement is principal-led with 15+ years of engineering expertise. Engagement-scoped teaming as required, no hand-off.

California-first

SB-Micro #2052003. Set up to engage CA agencies under SB Option direct-buy. Federal partners served as a secondary channel.

01

California SB Option — direct buy

California agencies can award directly to certified Small Businesses for engagements under $250,000. SB-Micro #2052003 makes this path available today.

02

California IT-MSA pool

Eligibility in progress. Once seated, Argen will be pre-vetted across Development, Security, and Strategy categories for state IT task orders.

03

Federal subcontract or direct

Available via prime subcontract today (T&M, FFP). SAM and 8(a) registrations in progress; 8(a) set-aside eligible once certified.
