Who we are
Engineers,
not consultants.
A small team of Forward Deployed AI Engineers who embed directly into client organisations and build production systems. No advisory reports. No demo environments. Real work, shipped fast.
Our approach
World-class through experience, not theory.
OntosLab was founded on a simple observation: most AI consultancies stay at arm's length from the problems they're supposed to be solving. They interview stakeholders, write recommendations, and hand over documents. The hard work of actually building something — integrating with legacy infrastructure, handling edge cases, earning the trust of the people who will use it every day — gets left to someone else.
We do the hard work. Our Forward Deployed AI Engineers sit inside client teams, work alongside IT, data, and product people, and build systems that go into production. Cross-functional by design, safety-first by habit, and relentlessly focused on outcomes that matter.
The team
The people who do the work.
Over 20 years building enterprise software across government, financial services, energy, and the NHS. Now focused entirely on deploying production AI systems into complex regulated environments. Hands-on from day one — no handoffs, no demos, just working systems.
Selected engagements
Over 20 years delivering enterprise technology across the NHS, energy, and financial services. Specialises in complex problems where the technical and organisational challenges are inseparable. The engineer you want embedded when the stakes are high and the edge cases are real.
