As one of the two founding members of CoreStream I have been involved in all Development and IT related activities, shaping the Corestream software platform, our core business offering, to grow from nothing to the current number of over 20 multinational clients. CoreStream offers a very flexible and powerful Web based Software that can be customised and heavily configured to meet almost any bespoke requirement. Initially, my responsibilities as Head of Technology included Software Development, both frontend and backend, as well as all infrastructure related tasks such as servers, source control and development tools. As the company grew, my role shifted to not only architecture and development but also managing a team of developers to provide new releases of our software that increase functionality and deliver critical enhancements while meeting client requirements. As Head of Technology at CoreStream, I am responsible for the infrastructure needed for over 50 servers, shaping internal operational policies and best practices as well as my technical architect role. I am responsible for the delivery of the next version of the CoreStream platform, which is currently in development phase. Our Clients include public sector, Fortune 100 and FTSE 100 companies across Aerospace, Media, Healthcare, Defence, Financial Services and Transport industries as well as having an active partnership with Deloitte.
