Aranscia
Healthcare technology · Unified Platform Technical Lead
Five acquired healthcare products becoming one Azure platform under HIPAA, HITECH, HITRUST and SOC 2, with none of them switched off and no customer left unserved while it happens.
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 for the business, what was built, and what it returned — not a list of technologies.

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 the business sells 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: the system the firm runs on, built inside their existing Lotus Notes investment, then rebuilt twice as Microsoft discontinued the platform underneath it, without stopping the firm's work.
Frasco Inc.
Background screening and investigations · Sole external developer and architect
The missing front door for a national background-screening firm: self-service ordering built on top of their working Delphi/InterBase back office, not instead of it, and a costed argument that saved them an eighteen-month replacement project.
Coast Asset Management
Fixed-income asset management · Lead developer and rescuer
A fixed-income desk's daily trading tools rebuilt off forty hand-maintained files onto the Bloomberg feed, and a years-old display fault nobody could solve traced to the vendor's own software. Fourteen years on the desk.
We Buy Cars / Used Car Club
Used-vehicle wholesale · Sole developer and database rescuer
Arrived to fix broken reporting and stayed six years to replace the Access system the business ran on, finding along the way that the reports had been built on data that was neither live nor complete.
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 intellectual property 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 the slowest queries in the business 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 company's own servers.
Gamiker
Regulated real-money gaming · Lead architect
A real-money match-3 casino game taken through certification by a testing laboratory, where the simulation showed the client's own payout maths was badly out before it could cost them.
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 into live control charts the line operators watch, and rolled it out line by line without stopping production.
PB Microsavings
Retail payments and micro-savings · CTO
A savings account inside the supermarket checkout lane, with every transaction tied to the store that took it so it lands in that store's end-of-day reconciliation, and a specification written to close the holes in the client's own.
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, so the money paid out is right.
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 made reliable, proved against seven deliberate failure cases before it went back into production.
Momentum Investment Services
Investment operations and casino floors · Lead developer
The entire back-office estate for an investment business in seven countries, ten applications deployed so every launch is the current version, 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, with pay tied in part to project milestones.
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, with no further work from me needed.
VectorUSA
Network and infrastructure contracting · Sole developer
Field labour capture for a network contractor: technicians, approvals and pay-period rules, replacing the slow Access front end accounting had been living with, and catching the duplicate dates and pay-period errors that were costing money.
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, taken all the way to the app stores.
Fox Networks
Broadcast advertising · Developer
An 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 platform with WordPress, and leaving once the product was finished.
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.
