SUMMER INTERNING AT ATC
FALL 2025
This summer, the ATC Corporate team had the pleasure of welcoming Warner Harper as a Summer Intern. As it had been some time since ATC last hosted an intern, Warner’s presence brought a refreshing perspective and renewed energy to our team.
Warner will be entering his sophomore year at Rochester Institute of Technology where he is pursuing a degree in Software Engineering and working toward a Master’s in Cybersecurity through the university’s BS/MS program.
Over the past three months, Warner contributed to several key projects, including researching and preparing for the CMMC Level 2 compliance and the development of a Fixed Asset Management System (FAMS) as part of a new Inventory Management System. He also gained experience in creating pricing plans, establishing metric systems, and presenting ideas and research to the team—an opportunity that helped him strengthen both his technical and communication skills. Throughout the internship, Warner informed me that he learned new skills by using the MS Teams platform and a stronger sense of the corporate environment.
Warner described the ATC corporate setting as friendly and family-oriented, highlighting the strong sense of connection and support among team members. He shared that his time at ATC has shown him how much he enjoys working in a smaller, close-knit corporate setting—an insight he’ll carry forward as he considers future career opportunities.

CELEBRATING OUR ATC TEAM
SPRING 2025
ATC celebrated our team at Dutch’s Daughter on March 15th, 2025. We are greatly appreciative of having such a wonderful turnout. The night was a joyous time to socialize amongst one another and with ATC’s president, Intisar Abbasi and Senior Vice President, Dr. Dale VanderHamm.
The celebration was a wonderful opportunity to show our gratitude for getting the privilege to work alongside a team full of such talented individuals. During the event, we had an array of employees being recognized for their hard efforts, accomplishments and contributions to our customers, as well as to those who’ve hit ATC work milestones/anniversaries.
Our teams’ dedication and efforts are the reason we celebrated, but the passion and energy they brought is what made it such a success. It was a night to reflect on how important a sense of community is to our organization. We look forward to many more reasons to celebrate.
ATC REACHES LEVEL 1 CMMC CERTIFICATION
WINTER 2025
Recently ATC reached a momentous milestone in our cybersecurity protocol by acquiring CMMC Level 1 (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification). As the CMMC rule is now in effect, it obligates any company working with the DoD to follow proper cybersecurity principles. Any organization that handles controlled unclassified information (CUI) or works with the DoD must hold these certifications. Within CMMC, there are three levels that have increasingly stringent requirements. Each level builds on the previous requirements, enforcing he need for higher security as the sensitivity of materials increases.
CMMC is an extremely important aspect of ensuring that ATC complies with government security regulations and is able to keep working within this sector. As we continue to expand, we aspire to work towards obtaining CMMC Level 2 certification as our next goal.
ATC ATTENDS SMARTPROC’S 25TH CONFERENCE IN FREDERICK, MARYLAND
WINTER 2024
December 9-10th, 2024 was a noteworthy occasion for ATC as our corporate staff Intisar Abbasi, John Sparks, Luanne Houck, Amy Reaux, Leila Abbasi and Shannon Houck attended SmartProc Govcon’s 25th Conference at the Clarion Inn in Frederick, MD. The two days were packed full of opportunistic networking and engaging conversations amongst small government businesses, industry leaders and academics amongst state, federal and local government sectors.
Since 1999, the membership organization SMART, has been hosting SmartProc (Govcon) with the goal to strengthen relationships, promote team partnerships and enhance business development amongst fifteen fields such as defense, healthcare and cyber/IT.
ATC was a Gold Sponsor, including a table in the front of the conference venue and advertising in conference brochures. Although the conference was smaller than in previous years, we had many productive conversations with new and familiar organizations and businesses. The conference benefitted ATC immensely as it educated us on new developments and research within the health, AI, defense and transportation realms through the breakout sessions. These sessions included a plethora of intelligent and highly-skilled speakers, such as our corporate staff member, John Sparks, who moderated the Small Business Opportunities discussion.
SmartProc has always been a wonderful opportunity for ATC to gain additional information about the industries we collaborate with as well as chances to connect with new partners and potential customer organizations. Overall, SmartProc always leaves us feeling optimistic for a future full of growth and success.
