Most engagements are narrow and practical: a live system, a concrete problem, and safe changes that keep the business running.
Work inside existing Seedpak environments to keep the lab moving and make targeted improvements.
Keep business-critical Oracle applications healthy while making focused, low-drama changes.
Support the surrounding infrastructure so the application stack stays predictable and easier to run.
A feed breaks, data arrives in the wrong shape, or a manual workaround has become a risk.
It still matters, but changes have slowed because context is thin and the stakes feel high.
Scripts, cron jobs, Linux configuration and reporting logic need to become stable again.
One useful report, utility or focused web app can remove a surprising amount of daily friction.
About
Scott Johnston Inc is Scott Johnston's software and consulting company. The consulting work happens inside live Seedpak LIMS, Oracle and Linux environments, where reliability matters more than fashion.
The products grow out of the same habits: find a job people do by hand every week, and build a small tool that does it properly, runs the same way every time, and is simple to buy and keep up to date.
