Founder & Director · Fostech Systems Ltd
Through Fostech, I help organisations support, modernise and take clearer technical ownership of bespoke software where the challenge is not just code, but risk, ambiguity, operational reality and commercial constraint.
Best fit
The strongest fit is work that needs senior judgement and hands-on delivery: software continuity, practical architecture ownership, platform modernisation, systems integration, fractional CTO support and credible AI-enabled product delivery.
Senior-led support for important bespoke systems where reliability, maintainability, hosting, deployments and clear ownership matter.
Practical improvement of existing platforms through incremental modernisation, integration work, automation and cloud/DevOps delivery.
Providing senior technical ownership where important platforms need clearer direction, safer change, better deployment reliability and reduced key-person dependency.
Capability
Selected work
A small selection from agency, product, healthcare, ecommerce, AI, cloud and integration-heavy delivery work.
Architected and delivered a global pharmaceutical intranet and grounded AI document assistant spanning SharePoint, Microsoft Graph, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search and permission-sensitive document access.
Value: Turned a large controlled document estate into a searchable, permission-aware portal and AI assistant without bypassing existing Microsoft 365 security boundaries.
Provided fractional CTO and hands-on platform leadership for a business-critical insurance platform during a technical leadership transition, introducing Dockerised delivery, CDK infrastructure, CI/CD and support documentation.
Value: Reduced operational risk and created a maintainable operating model with clearer deployment, support and handover practices.
Architected and built a hybrid Electron/Angular desktop operator app and central .NET/Angular Azure SaaS platform for food and agricultural analysis workflows.
Value: Supported unreliable-connectivity environments with local persistence, scanner file processing, LIMS integration, synchronisation, alerting and reporting.
Architected and delivered a domain-specific cloud CRM platform replacing a legacy internal forms-based system, spanning ASP.NET Core, Angular, SQL Server, Azure AD, Azure Functions, Azure Search, integrations, migration and reporting workflows.
Value: Supported complex service-delivery, contract, activity, referral, result and reporting processes that were too bespoke for an off-the-shelf CRM approach, including Excel and Power BI reporting outputs.
