Summary
Dan Lockcuff is a hands-on technology leader and founder with over a decade optimizing web platforms and managing AWS-backed hosting for high-traffic WordPress sites. As President of StrataByte, he builds personalized, fully managed hosting and optimization services for bloggers, influencers, and small businesses, prioritizing uptime, security, and real-world user experience. His background includes running multi-server AWS environments, DevOps work with Docker/Kubernetes, and supporting thousands of users at Collective Bias where he managed 300+ WordPress sites and 26M monthly visitors. Dan combines practical IT operations—Mac and Linux enterprise support, network/security, and helpdesk leadership—with entrepreneurial product thinking from founding multiple small businesses. Based in rural Missouri, he brings the perspective of a family-focused founder who values reliability and clear communication as much as technical excellence.
