About

Founded on Experience 
Powered by AI Automation​

Our Philosophy


Our philosophy is simple: strategy before software. We believe the right automation strategy, supercharged by the intelligence of AI, is more effective than any single tool. Our deep foundation in both business and technology allows us to wield AI as a powerful force multiplier, taking our clients to a level of efficiency and growth they never thought possible. We architect and build intelligent ecosystems that are reliable, scalable, and future-proof.









The Problem We Solve


For years, we saw businesses invest in powerful E-commerce and ERP technologies, only to be held back by disconnected systems and manual processes. In today's AI-driven world, simply connecting systems isn't enough—they need to be intelligent. Hycentra was founded to bridge that gap, transforming your technology from a burden into your most powerful competitive advantage.

Meet The Team

James Lui
Founder & Principal Consultant


With a career spanning over 20 years — evenly split between hands-on software development and strategic business consulting — I've built my expertise at the intersection of technology and business. This journey was shaped by pivotal experiences: 


  • At J.P. Morgan & CLSA, I was deep in the technology of mission-critical financial systems; 


  • At SAP / Hybris , my focus shifted to architecting e-commerce solutions for global brands. 


Hycentra was founded on this dual experience: we translate your business goals into technology that delivers real results.
