Our Story.
Get to know Our Pyramid
Founded by Sherry and Jeff Hwang in 1995, with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as our first federal client.
Three decades later, we're 200+ employees strong, employee-owned, and trusted by federal agencies that depend on mission-critical systems. Our pyramid is more than a logo, it embodies our mission, our vision, and the values that hold both up. Every team member has skin in the game, every client gets our full attention, and every employee donation to a 501(c)(3) is matched by the firm. That's what employee-owned means in practice.
Founder-led since 1995
The Pyramid Story
Sherry and Jeff Hwang built Pyramid Systems to pay forward the American dream. Three decades and one founding HUD contract later, that mission still shapes how every program we run is staffed, scoped, and shipped.
Sherry and Jeff Hwang moved to America with the dream of a better life. They met at Georgia State University, where both graduated with master's degrees in Computer Information Systems. In 1995, they teamed up to create Pyramid Systems. Their first client was the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Hard work and dedication to that client earned Pyramid a sterling reputation at HUD, which opened doors at the federal agencies that still trust us today.
Sherry and Jeff hold the company to the standard that built it: technology that works, service that earns Exceptional CPARS ratings, and clients who come back. They have a passion and duty to strengthen America through technology and to pay forward the American dream for others. The four principles below are how that commitment shows up in the work.
