Cloud & Infrastructure · Biotech & Life Sciences · Scotland
Serious cloud capability covering HPC, MLOps, FinOps, research data platforms, web and automation. Without the overhead of a full-time team. Grounded in over a decade of hands-on life sciences infrastructure.
Life Sciences & Biotech Startups
Biotech startups and life sciences spinouts can't afford the wrong infrastructure choices early on. Bad cloud architecture costs money, slows research, and becomes technical debt that haunts you at Series A. We've seen it, and we know how to avoid it.
Right-sized AWS or Azure environments built for research workloads from day one. Multi-account structure, governance and security baseline done properly.
High-performance compute for genomics, proteomics, molecular simulation and data-intensive pipelines. Containerised or bare-metal, on-cloud or hybrid.
Infrastructure for AI-driven discovery: model training environments, pipeline orchestration, experiment tracking and reproducible compute at scale.
Cloud spend can spiral fast in research environments. We build cost governance, tagging, alerting and optimisation strategies that stretch your runway.
Scalable, compliant storage and data pipelines for research data. FAIR principles, access control, and the reliability your spinouts depends on.
Security architecture that meets investor and partner requirements without slowing down your team. GDPR-compliant, audit-ready.
Investor-facing sites, lab portals and public-facing platforms built to a standard that reflects the quality of your science. Fast, accessible, professional.
Reporting, data ingestion, notifications, approvals. The operational overhead that shouldn't exist, automated so your team can focus on the work that matters.
How it works
We understand where you are, what you're building, and what infrastructure decisions are coming up.
Depending on your stage: an architecture audit and recommendations, or hands-on delivery of the platform you need.
Ongoing retained support, a defined project, or advisory hours. Whatever fits your stage and budget.
Our position
Biotech startups and life sciences spinouts need the right technology foundations from day one. The kind of infrastructure expertise that lets the science move fast, keeps costs under control, and gives investors confidence.
About
I'm Si, a cloud and infrastructure leader based in Dundee.
I help early-stage biotech and life science companies build the technology foundations they need to grow, without introducing unnecessary enterprise complexity too soon.
I was one of the earliest employees and the first dedicated IT hire at Exscientia the fourth Unicorn to come out of Scotland. Along the way, I helped build and scale its IT, cloud infrastructure, DevOps capability, high-performance computing and global technology operations.
That experience means I understand the challenges smaller biotechs face because I have already lived through them: limited budgets, fast growth, valuable data, evolving science and increasing pressure from investors, partners and regulators.
wee-tech gives growing biotech companies access to that experience without needing to hire a full-time senior infrastructure leader. I help strip away the noise, identify what genuinely matters now, and provide a practical path from today’s setup to something secure, scalable and manageable.
