About

A one-person studio that builds like a team.

StricklySoft is enterprise-grade software, websites, and cloud systems — delivered with senior expertise and none of the agency overhead.

StricklySoft is founded and run by Mark Strickland — a full-stack engineer with 20+ years building enterprise-scale software, databases, and systems, including a decade as a Lead Engineer at a Fortune 500 financial institution. An architect's discipline and a builder's mindset — now applied to cloud-native platforms and AI as founder and principal engineer at StricklySoft.

The premise is simple: most businesses don't need a big agency — they need one senior person who can actually design, build, and ship the whole thing. From a self-hosted Kubernetes cloud platform and an AI memory engine to live client websites, the work isn't slideware — it ships and runs in production. You work directly with the person building it: no account managers, no handoffs, no diluted vision.

It's deliberately lean and deliberately modern. Senior engineering judgment, amplified by today's best AI tooling, lets one focused studio deliver the range and speed that used to take a whole team — without the cost or the overhead.

How we work.

Build it right

Reboot-survivable infrastructure, clean code, real testing. Systems made to last — not demos that fall over.

Senior & direct

You talk to the engineer doing the work — every project, every time. No layers, no telephone game.

Outcomes over buzzwords

Measurable results, shipped — faster systems, working software, and sites that convert.

Based in High Point, North Carolina — working with clients anywhere.
