Isaac Cragg
Director · Full-stack engineer
Full-stack engineer. Runs the bulk of SoTech's client builds. Writes the code, ships the feature, fixes the bug.
Studio
A small, senior team.
SoTech is a product studio in Northamptonshire, deep in the geotechnical industry.
Origin
From engineering practice to product studio.
SoTech began inside a geotechnical engineering practice. Twenty years of watching drilling firms and civils teams make do with software built fifteen years ago led us to build our own.
We now ship our own products (GIMLabs, Diggy) and build custom software for ambitious teams in specialised industries. The geotech roots explain everything else.
Twenty years of ground engineering behind the studio. Two live products. A small, senior team.
Directors
The team.
Thomas Hamson
Director · Engineer & designer
Designs and builds in the same head. Most days on GIMLabs, Diggy on the side. Owns the way SoTech-built software looks and feels.
David Dunkley
Director · Geotechnical engineer
Founded SoTech. Current CEO of Soiltechics alongside, so he stays active in ground engineering day to day. Keeps the studio honest about the work, the data, and the people doing it.
How we work
Three principles, held tightly.
01
Senior throughout.
Small team, senior throughout, by design. No leverage model, no account managers, no work passed down a chain. The people you meet at the start are the people doing the build.
02
AI is method, not pitch.
We use AI extensively to ship faster and harder. We're honest about where it helps and where it doesn't. What lands in production is what matters.
03
Specialised on purpose.
Generic software fits nobody well. We go deep in geotech and take that discipline into adjacent industries: civils, environmental, mining. Vertical work needs vertical understanding.
