Aranscia
Healthcare technology · Unified Platform Technical Lead
Merging five acquired healthcare products into one Azure SaaS platform under HIPAA, HITECH, HITRUST and SOC 2 — without switching any of them off first.
24 engagements · 8 sectors · 1997 to now
All the work.
Filter by what you are running, what sector you are in, or what you need done. Each entry is what was wrong, what I built, and what happened — not a list of technologies.
24 of 24
Record Research Inc.
Publishing — chart data · Sole developer and architect
Decades of Billboard chart data moved off SQL Server 7, Classic ASP and Visual FoxPro onto Azure, while the books kept getting published.
Mason & Mason / DSM, Inc.
Right-of-way appraisal and eminent domain · Sole developer and architect
Thirteen years as the only developer for a right-of-way appraisal firm — an operating system built inside their Lotus Notes estate, then rebuilt twice as Microsoft discontinued the platform underneath it.
Frasco Inc.
Background screening and investigations · Sole external developer and architect
The missing front door for a national background-screening firm whose production system was an in-house Delphi/InterBase application — built on top of it, not instead of it.
Coast Asset Management
Fixed-income asset management · Lead developer and rescuer
A fixed-income desk's daily trading tools, rewritten off forty hand-maintained flat files onto the Bloomberg API — and the 'mouse flicker' fault nobody could solve, found inside the vendor's own .NET wrapper.
We Buy Cars / Used Car Club
Used-vehicle wholesale · Sole developer and database rescuer
Arrived on broken SQL replication and a data warehouse losing rows; stayed six years to replace the Access system the business ran on.
The Comp Specialists, LLC
Workers' compensation · Interim CTO and lead architect
A physician's treatment pathways existed only as Visio drawings. Built the business that sells them — and the serial-number scheme that made the IP sellable at all.
Cimnet Systems — Engenix
Manufacturing execution software (printed circuit boards) · Software architect — rules engine and data architecture
Five years and almost $2 million had produced nothing. With a team of three, a working prototype in six months — and the product is still sold twenty-five years later.
Electrostar → Tyco Electronics
Printed circuit board manufacturing · Sole developer
An inventory system that saved $15,000 a day in its first week, ran in seven locations worldwide, and is still in use — having needed nothing but a recompile to move from Windows 95 to Windows 10.
Universal Music Group (via New Reach Consulting)
Music catalogue and rights · Architect and technical lead
Seventeen years through one consultancy. At UMG, a catalogue feed reconciled field by field against the rights database, and core queries cut from thirty seconds to under one.
ACD LLC
Cryogenic pumps and turboexpanders · Lead developer
An in-house pump and turboexpander sizing program turned into a customer-facing service — designed so neither the calculation code nor the customer list ever left the client's servers.
Gamiker
Regulated real-money gaming · Lead architect
A real-money match-3 casino game certified to a testing laboratory — where the simulation showed the client's own payout maths was badly out.
Nissin Foods
Food manufacturing · Sole developer (software half of a two-firm bid)
A noodle plant weighed every pack and did nothing with the readings. Captured them off the serial ports into control charts the line operators watch.
PB Microsavings
Retail payments and micro-savings · CTO
A savings account inside the supermarket checkout lane — every transaction tied to the store that took it so it lands in that store's end-of-day reconciliation.
CAPS Payroll
Entertainment payroll · Sole developer and rescuer
The engine that calculates entertainment residuals, rebuilt from scratch after both sources of truth for the union rules turned out to be wrong.
Deluxe Digital Studios
Film localisation and post-production · Senior developer
A subtitle authoring tool for a film localisation team, and an encoding farm that had been failing silently — proved against seven deliberate failure cases.
Momentum Investment Services
Investment operations and casino floors · Lead developer
The entire back-office estate for an investment business in seven countries — ten applications, click-once deployed — plus the operational system for gambling floors in three of them.
bp
Energy — data analytics, trading and shipping · Contract developer, then Data Management Specialist
Two separate roles inside bp: data analytics from 2021, then a direct six-month appointment in Trading & Shipping created for me rather than posted.
Trulok / Trio Manufacturing
Aerospace fastener measurement · Sole developer
The Windows software behind an aerospace fastener measurement system, in production at Alcoa and Allfast years after hand-over.
VectorUSA
Network and infrastructure contracting · Sole developer
Field labour capture for a network contractor — technicians, approvals, pay-period rules — replacing accounting's slow Access front end.
ToRemindU / TMail
Mobile messaging · Co-founder and sole developer
A cross-platform reminder and messaging product I built and part-owned, with the people behind PB Microsavings.
Fox Networks
Broadcast advertising · Developer
A Silverlight application for the advertising side of the network — managing and scheduling the advertisements that go to air.
MySpace
Social media · Senior software developer
Integrating MySpace's .NET estate with WordPress.
John Tesh Media
Entertainment web and streaming · Chief Technology Officer
CTO when John Tesh set up his web presence — the site that is tesh.com today. Separately, streaming radio for Priscilla Presley presented by a scripted DJ, when streaming audio on the web was barely a category.
Nothing matches that combination. Clear a filter — or ask me directly; the index only holds what is public.
