Software built
like it matters.

Four capabilities. One person accountable for all of them.

Day Labs works across the Microsoft stack, from cloud infrastructure to low-code apps to Copilot. Here's what that looks like in practice.

Cloud Solutions

Azure architecture, migration, and modernization built to production standards: Static Web Apps, serverless functions, .NET APIs, and infrastructure that stays secure and cheap to run.

AI & Automation

Practical AI in the tools you already own: Copilot Studio agents, M365 Copilot rollout and adoption, informed by the founder's federal civilian and government cloud (GCC) delivery experience, and Power Automate flows that clear out the busywork.

Digital Products

Complete product builds, designed, shipped, and kept running. Marketing sites, customer portals, and internal tools that feel considered and don't fall over, from first wireframe to live on Azure.

No layers between you and the build.

Production standards, not demos

The goal is software that survives week two: real error handling, real security, real documentation. Not a prototype that only shines in the pitch.

One operator, end to end

You talk to the person writing the code. Nothing gets lost in a handoff, because there isn't one. Scoping, building, and support are the same desk.

Honest about fit

If a project isn't right for a shop this size, you'll hear it early, with a pointer to someone who is a better fit. Honest scope beats an oversold contract.

Third Street Retreat

The first production delivery under the Day Labs name: a booking site built and shipped end to end.

Founder's site & build log

Where Josh writes about the work. Everything Day Labs ships traces back here.

Founded by Josh Day, Microsoft senior consultant and Air Force veteran.

Day Labs is the independent practice of Josh Day, a senior consultant at Microsoft who spent 15 years working from the help desk up to enterprise cloud and Power Platform architecture, most of it in demanding government and enterprise environments.

It exists to bring that same work to smaller engagements directly: one experienced builder, no overhead, no handoffs. If you'd rather work with the person who actually ships the thing, that's the whole idea.
