LightFeather IO LLC is a digital services company founded in 2018 that modernizes U.S. federal infrastructure through DevSecOps implementation, cloud engineering, and legacy system transformation. Operating as both a Woman-Owned and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, the company works exclusively with federal agencies to deliver value-driven IT solutions that integrate security practices directly into development and operations workflows. The company's technical practice centers on three core service areas: DevSecOps integration for federal systems, cloud-based infrastructure modernization, and comprehensive system transformation projects. LightFeather positions itself at the intersection of cutting-edge cloud technologies and the specific compliance, security, and operational requirements of government IT environments. Their approach combines forward-leaning methodologies with the technical rigor required for federal work, where security isn't an afterthought but a foundational element of every deployment. Led by CEO Sarah Fahden, LightFeather maintains a mission-driven operational philosophy that technology should serve people rather than create barriers. The company explicitly frames its work around making government services more effective for end users - citizens who depend on federal systems to function reliably and securely. For security professionals, this translates to work that matters beyond abstract compliance: modernizing infrastructure that serves real public needs while meeting stringent federal security standards and advancing the maturity of DevSecOps practices across government agencies.

We're one of America's largest energy holding companies, serving about 7.7 million customers across six states. Our team of more than 27,000 people works every day to keep the lights on and gas flowing for millions of homes and businesses. We've been at this since 1904, when the Catawba Hydro Station first started generating power, and we've learned a lot along the way about what it takes to deliver energy reliably and responsibly. These days, we're investing nearly $200 billion over the next decade to build a smarter, cleaner energy system. That means upgrading our grid, adding renewable energy sources, and hardening our equipment against severe weather. We're also focused on energy efficiency programs that help customers save money while reducing their environmental impact. It's a lot of work, but we believe building a better energy future is worth the effort.
