Design, build, and integrate software systems that must work under real operational conditions.

StickyOps

Mission

StickyOps exists to strengthen government missions by delivering reliable, secure digital systems that address the challenges of modern digital operations and support informed decision-making, operational coordination, and long-term sustainment.

About:

StickyOps was founded by Chris Quiocho, a U.S. Army combat veteran with 16 years of distinguished service. Chris flew UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters and deployed to Afghanistan, where he conducted combat MEDEVAC missions under some of the most demanding operational conditions.

After transitioning from full-time military service, Chris brought the discipline, leadership, and operational clarity forged in combat to the civilian sector—building technology companies focused on aviation and government modernization.

StickyOps is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) dedicated to building secure, mission-critical software for federal, state, and local agencies.

Team

StickyOps brings together visionaries, product leaders, designers, architects, data scientists, and engineers—alongside mission-experienced professionals—to design and deliver secure, software-defined systems grounded in real operational needs and built for long-term reliability.

Service to the Public Mission

We build technology in service of the American public. Our work exists to strengthen public institutions, support critical missions, and uphold the trust placed in government systems.

Our Values

Outcome Accountability

We are accountable for results, not just deliverables. Success is measured by operational improvement, decision quality, reliability, and real-world impact—not by activity alone.

Technology That Strengthens Institutions

We design and integrate technology that reinforces—not disrupts—the institutions responsible for governance, safety, and public service. Modernization should increase resilience, continuity, and confidence.

Integrity and Transparency

We operate with honesty, discipline, and transparency in all engagements. We communicate clearly, manage risk responsibly, and honor commitments to our clients and partners.

Operational Excellence

We deliver high-quality, secure, and maintainable software engineered for scale, compliance, and long-term use. Reliability, performance, and security are foundational—not optional.

Collaborative by Design

We work effectively across agencies, vendors, and teams. Clear communication, mutual respect, and shared ownership are essential to delivering complex systems.
