LEGACY MODERNIZATION
Old codebase nobody wants to touch? I actually like those.
Years-old apps built on frameworks that went out of fashion still run real businesses. I modernize them step by step, while the product keeps shipping — no big-bang rewrite, no frozen roadmap.
This is for software businesses and engineering teams with a product that works but has become slow and risky to change.
- Run a new app next to the old one and move screen by screen
- Add tests around the risky parts before changing them
- Extract modules that can be deployed on their own
- Upgrade frameworks and dependencies without breaking users
- Leave docs your next developer will thank you for
Stacks I’ve worked with include React, Angular, Ember.js, Node.js and Python. Every project starts the same way: a review, then a fixed-scope plan.
