Bestgate Engineering

About

In 2013, Bestgate Engineering was founded by a small team of software and systems engineers who saw a gap in how national security programs were delivered. Based in Maryland in the Baltimore/Washington metro area, the company built a practice focused on solving complex problems for the U.S. Intelligence Community, the Department of Defense, and their industry partners. Their core work spans software engineering, systems integration, and advanced analytics across unmanned systems, defense, and aerospace sectors. The founders and leadership brought deep domain experience and a commitment to practical, secure, mission‑driven solutions, underpinned by core NAICS codes 541511 and 541412. The firm prides itself on delivering high‑caliber professionals with domain experience to government and federal customers, emphasizing technical excellence and trusted relationships.

Today Bestgate Engineering remains a Maryland‑based, privately held company with leadership including Keith Wegner, Christopher Swartz, and George Bachman, who guide the company’s culture around employee success, technical excellence, and trusted client relationships. The team emphasizes continuous learning, competitive benefits, and a collaborative environment that supports innovation in areas such as PKI, cloud platforms, real‑time data processing, and distributed systems. The company remains committed to helping customers protect infrastructure and data while growing a workforce of engineers who contribute to national security missions.
