Fostech services
Senior help for important, complex or under-documented systems.
Best suited to software support, technical ownership, fractional CTO, platform modernisation, cloud/DevOps delivery and advisory engagements, especially where authentication, tenant isolation, security review findings or production reliability are part of the risk.
Understand the system quickly.
Useful where documentation is weak, responsibility is unclear or the first job is to work out what actually exists before proposing changes.
Make decisions the team can deliver.
Architecture that respects the available budget, risk, skills, timescale, operational model and existing platform constraints.
Stay close to implementation.
Code, infrastructure, CI/CD, review, debugging, handover and supportability, not architecture as detached documentation.
Best-fit engagements
Where contract value is strongest.
- Ongoing support and maintenance for important bespoke systems.
- Technical architecture or principal engineer capacity for complex systems.
- Fractional CTO or technical ownership during leadership transitions, handovers or periods of elevated delivery risk.
- Cloud architecture, Dockerisation, CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code delivery.
- AI/RAG and document intelligence products that need production discipline.
- Integration-heavy .NET, TypeScript, Azure and AWS systems.
- Modernisation work that needs judgement, not a blank-sheet rewrite.
- Security review and penetration-test remediation across code, authentication flows, headers, infrastructure and deployment practices.
- Performance investigation, load-testing support, bottleneck analysis and reliability improvement.
