Founder & team leadership
Founder-led. Engineer-delivered.
StrataHub exists because UK mid-market firms deserve the same engineering standard that enterprises buy — without an enterprise budget or a six-month hiring cycle.
We are led by an engineer, not a salesperson, and delivered by specialists who have shipped production systems before.

How we work
Production systems in 90 days
Not slide decks. Not proofs-of-concept that die in staging. Real systems that real people use to do measurably better work.
Build with, not for
We don't throw solutions over the fence. We sit with your team, understand your constraints, and co-create systems that fit your stack. You own the code, the models, and the roadmap.
Measure what matters
Every engagement starts with a baseline and ends with proof. We track operational hours saved, errors caught, and cost per transaction. Not vanity AI metrics.
Leave teams stronger
We don't just deliver systems. We upskill your people. When a retainer ends, your team can maintain, extend, and evolve what we built together.
