About Rhythmic

Our Origin Story

We started Rhythmic nearly 20 years ago after observing the pervasive but chaotic way tech was creeping into every business. More and more startups and small businesses found themselves responsible for mission critical, production systems, but the traditional IT practices of the day called for a small army just to keep the lights on.

DevOps shifted much of the responsibility back to agile development teams, but it was no replacement for the gritty discipline of 24x7x365 operations and the standards of practice the IT industry had forged over 50 years.

Rhythmic balances the agility of the DevOps mindset with the maturity and discipline of the IT industry to run the most demanding systems efficiently and effectively.

We create a rhythm between infrastructure and application that protects revenue and reputation, enables agility with guardrails, and allows our clients to leverage the full power of their cloud investments.

Our Values In Action

“Rhythmic is amazing, and no I’m not just saying that. The heartfelt passion to succeed, the willingness to do more, the ability to care for each other, and most importantly, the drive everyone has to see and/or help each other out no matter the cause is amazing. I’ve been fortunate enough to meet a lot of different people in my life, and this group by far has exceeded expectations of truly being what was described to me from the first day. Its hard to find a place where you can grow professionally as well as personally at the same time, and Rhythmic is TRULY that place!”

The Right Foundation for IT Harmony

We’ve been running complex IT projects and migrating clients to the cloud for well over a decade. Our sweet spot is in driving performance and availability up, driving cost and chaos down, and keeping things simple. That’s because we believe the best foundations are simple foundations, and you need a great foundation to build on. Ensuring mission-critical and production systems are up and running when it matters most.

We take ourselves out of the box to explore new ideas and bring in modern trends for high performance. When facing new challenges, we open the doors to creativity and innovation to foster advanced solutions, but we always remember the tried and true tricks of the trade. New challenges, new solutions, each paving the way for growth and allow for a healthier, more efficient system. The result? Your IT systems run in harmony, freeing you up to concentrate on growing your business.

Elegant Solutions Built Together

Complex problems require creative solutions, but the challenge is in keeping it simple. Right up our alley. We love finding creative, elegant solutions and building them together with our clients. Likewise, nothing kills our passion more than unnecessarily complicated systems that serve the egos of the firms that built them more than the needs of the client they were built for.

Our Approach to Problem Solving

We believe active listening is the most important step in problem solving. Too much time is wasted fixing the wrong problem or miscalculating what needs to be done. Listening helps us solve the right problem the first time. This reduces stress. And drama. Once we gain a proper understanding of the problem and its context, we work to provide your team with the necessary tools and tailored systems where your business can thrive.

Relationships That Accomplish Bold Results

We think formalities are like walls that prevent teams from performing. We care deeply about building relationships and working together to accomplish bold things. We don’t have agendas, drama, or bullshit. Just a genuine, serious commitment to achieving success together.

Side effects of this mindset include work getting done on budget and ahead of schedule, no excess bureaucracy and process to bog down the work, and happy teams on both sides that know what they’re doing, why they’re doing it, and where they’re headed. We’ve been told it feels good.

Our People Set the Tone

Christian

Hi everyone! I’m Christian, and I work within the operations team. I have a deep passion for technology and truly enjoy engaging with clients. Currently, I’m dedicated to expanding my knowledge in building infrastructure and automation, which I find extremely rewarding. Before starting my journey in IT, I was encouraged to look for a company that values professional growth, fosters a distinctive work culture, and has trustworthy management. Today, I’m fortunate to say I’ve found such a company. Rhythmic impresses me with its unwavering commitment to strong core values.
David

There are two core facts that sum me up as a person. I am, at the most fundamental level of my being, a goofball. Additionally, when I find something broken I am incapable of knowing peace until it is fixed. I made a career out of the second one.
Joel

My heart was set on tech when I realized I was able to make work easier/faster for myself when I was a Data/Business Analyst. My interests consists of playing a lot of golf (when able to), learning and trying new things. I truly love to help others and truly enjoy opportunities to grow both professionally and personally!
Lalo

My first job after graduating college was as a DevOps Engineer and I have been one ever since. I sort of stumbled into it but have since come to understand that it’s the perfect spot for me. I thoroughly love learning, whether that be about new or different ideas, concepts, and technologies. Being a DevOps Engineer allows me to express that love for learning to my heart’s content.
Ryan

I’m a Linux administrator that loves and opportunity to learn and grow. Rhythmic’s environment has helped me grow professionally by teaching me proper practices and diligence while allowing me to expand my professional portfolio. The culture is almost like a professional family where we celebrate each other’s highs and are there for each other’s lows. Incredibly unique.
Megan

When I first got brought into Rhythmic as a compliance analyst, I was highly motivated to learn everything and anything I could about the new world I was jumping into. With the help of our team, I learned more than I could have ever possibly imagined. I set my mind to learning something completely new and was able to jump in with both feet because I always knew I had the support of the team standing next to me. It showed me I found what I truly love and have a passion for beyond anything I could have ever imagined.
Tyler

I got into the tech field when I was in high school because I liked helping people solve problems with technology to make their lives easier. I’m super excited about this field and to learn as much as I can so that I can grow and apply what I’ve learned each day. It’s the reason I got into this field in the first place: to solve problems and create ease.
Steven

I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer and have been a Northern Virginia resident my whole life. I’ve studied everything from business to neuroscience while figuring out what to do with my life, with an undergraduate degree in economics. After riding the 2016 data science craze out of a failed first attempt at graduate school, I came to work in computing and never left. I have an adorable pet bunny named Coconut.
