About
The person who does the work.
STAS is deliberately a one-person firm. The engineer who scopes your job is the one who builds it, tests it, trains your team, and answers the phone afterwards.
I'm Josiah Santos, STAS's founder — an engineer who got tired of watching good businesses lose hours to jobs a machine should be doing.
I run STAS from Auckland, and the work is hands-on: I come to you, learn how your business actually runs, and put AI to work on the parts that don't need a human — properly, with testing, documentation, and a warranty behind it.
No sales team, no juniors, no handoffs. If we work together, you deal with me.
How I work
- An honest first call — if there's nothing worth automating, I'll say so and leave you to it.
- Fixed prices, in writing — agreed before work starts; no hourly meters.
- Built to be depended on — tested against your real scenarios, documented, warranted.
- Still here afterwards — support from $200/mo; your tools keep up when your business changes.
