London & UK
AI consultancy in London
AstraCloud Labs is a London-based, remote-first AI and software engineering consultancy. We build production-grade AI agent systems, cloud platforms, and distributed architectures for UK enterprise and public sector clients.
Finding senior engineering talent in London is hard, and AI work makes it harder. AstraCloud Labs gives UK teams direct access to a Principal Engineer with 11+ years of experience and a network of senior practitioners, on a project basis, without the overhead of hiring a permanent team.
We are led by Mohammed Khalid, a Principal Engineer and Tech Lead who has delivered production platforms across distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and AI-native products. We are registered in England (company no. 14833856), work remote-first, and are available for on-site collaboration in London and across the UK when a project needs it.
Much of our work has been with UK organisations, including the public sector, where GDPR-aligned data handling, accessibility, and security are part of the brief rather than an afterthought. You can see the detail on our case studies page.

Frequently asked questions
Is AstraCloud Labs based in London?
Yes. AstraCloud Labs is registered in England (company no. 14833856) and works on a remote-first basis. We are available for on-site collaboration in London and across the UK when a project calls for it, and you can reach us on 020 3105 8944.
Do you only work with London clients?
No. We are London-based and remote-first, working with clients across the UK and worldwide. Being remote-first means we assemble the right senior engineers for the work rather than limiting it to one location, while keeping UK business hours and on-site availability in London.
What does an AI consultancy engagement in London look like?
We design and build production systems: AI agent systems and LLM products, cloud infrastructure on AWS and GCP, platform and backend engineering, and the security and compliance to support them. Engagements are project delivery led by a Principal Engineer, not staff placement.
Which UK organisations have you worked with?
Our UK and public sector work includes the British Council, DEFRA, VisitBritain, and Bauer Media, alongside clients in FinTech, insurance, and SaaS. You can read the detail on our case studies page.
