Why iogate

28 years of combined experience in secure technology delivery.

iogate is led by Sam and Mitch, Solutions Architects and Directors whose combined experience spans software engineering, technical and cloud architecture, platform and site reliability engineering, secure development platforms, cloud migrations, and proof-of-concept delivery.

Together, Sam and Mitch have delivered for the UK Ministry of Defence and within other sensitive environments where security, reliability, and operational discipline are essential.

Who we work with

We work with founders, startups, and smaller technology organisations worldwide. iogate is a strong fit when you need senior cloud and platform expertise to validate an idea, launch into production, modernise an AWS or Azure environment, or make delivery more secure and dependable—without first building a large internal platform team.

Every engagement is led directly by Sam and Mitch. When a project needs additional capacity or specialist knowledge, we can draw on a wider network of experienced associates.

Representative experience

Practical delivery in environments where the outcome matters.

The examples below are anonymised to respect client confidentiality and the sensitive nature of the work.

AWS cloud migration

A more secure and resilient platform

We moved an established application from on-premises infrastructure to AWS, improving its security, reliability, availability, and ongoing management.

Proof of concept

From early idea to a clear production path

We built a focused PoC that answered the key technical questions while keeping initial expenditure low. The result provided confidence to proceed towards a production service for hundreds of users.

Secure development platform

Enabling teams to deliver securely

We created secure platforms that enabled large teams to develop and support mission-critical applications within a sensitive environment, improving the pace of delivery and ongoing support.

Facing a similar challenge? We can apply this experience to help you migrate securely, validate an idea, or create a secure delivery platform tailored to your team.
