A delivery record you can independently verify.
Every engagement below was delivered by Brad McAllister, founder of Real Code Ltd. Institutions, timelines, architectures, and operational outcomes are named plainly — not hidden behind non-disclosure summaries.
University Digital Campus Integration
Architected an event-driven integration layer using Azure Service Bus to synchronise Salesforce, Tribal SITS student records, and Canvas for the Global Digital Campus programme. Engineered a custom observability dashboard for queue monitoring and dead-letter message recovery.
University Systems Modernisation
Delivered a six-and-a-half-year programme integrating over twenty core academic applications, executing a complex legacy QL-to-SITS student records migration with zero unscheduled downtime, and administering 45 SQL Server instances alongside an enterprise Power BI data warehouse.
Student Workflow Automation
Engineered an automated coursework extension and mitigating circumstances portal that allowed registry staff to triage, evaluate, and action student requests 40% faster — measured and formally validated by the institution.
How We Deliver
Our enterprise integration methodology
01
Process & Schema Mapping
Ten working days mapping SITS tables, API limits, and human handoffs during an AI Architecture Review.
02
Security & DPIA Baseline
Defining least-privilege role boundaries, tenant isolation rules, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
03
Scoped Production Pilot
A four-to-six week deployment on a single high-friction workflow measured against operational SLAs.
04
Handover & Knowledge Transfer
Comprehensive runbooks, telemetry dashboards, and staff pairing so your internal IT team owns the estate.
Procurement & Due Diligence
Questions on procurement and delivery assurance
Can we verify your work with your named institutional references?
Yes. Every case study published here is non-anonymised, naming the institution, delivery period, systems integrated, and operational outcomes. The work was led directly by Brad McAllister, founder of Real Code Ltd. Client references and employment history are verifiable on LinkedIn and through standard procurement due diligence.
How do you handle university procurement and Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM)?
We operate under Real Code Ltd (UK company no. 08919593, registered 2014, VAT GB 211 3433 64, ICO ZB939242). Our security practices and controls are mapped transparently to Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 guidelines (we are not currently certified, and state so plainly). We provide full architecture diagrams, data flow schemas, and DPIA inputs for institutional compliance boards.
Who actually builds and leads the engineering work on our engagement?
The person named on our record — Brad McAllister — personally leads the architecture review, system design, and implementation. We do not use bait-and-switch models where senior partners pitch the sale and hand off the work to junior contractors.
Do you collaborate with our existing in-house IT and systems teams?
Yes, absolutely. Our engagements are designed to empower existing university staff rather than create vendor lock-in. We pair closely with your database administrators, SITS specialists, and enterprise architects, providing clean documentation, automated tests, and handover runbooks.
