The chasm of contract manufacturing software
August 29, 2026
Quoting in high-mix manufacturing isn't an isolated math problem. It's a live commitment of shop-floor capacity that point solutions simply can't handle.
Harry Conor Lucas
Co-Founder & CEO at Phasio
I'm a founder and engineer who loves to work at the intersection of software and hardware. I'm building Phasio, where we're making software to help manufacturers get their work done better and faster.
About Me
I've done a bunch of different things - worked as a software engineer at JPMorgan Chase, did some research at the European Space Agency, and today I run Phasio.
My path has been pretty wild - from figuring out how much power a moon base would need to building software that helps manufacturers run their businesses. I've lived/worked in Singapore, Switzerland, Australia, Germany, and now I'm in the US.
