Do you have an old web codebase that's slow, full of bugs and/or is in an older language? Has your previous developer left you high and dry? Are you having difficulty finding somebody to fix your web-based site or tools? Then drop me a line at consulting@lj3.me. I specialize in maintenance programming, which is the gentle art of breathing new life into old code bases. I love digging into the guts of old "legacy" apps, fixing what needs to be fixed and leaving alone what is already working just fine. I don't just fix bugs and optimize for speed; I'll add much needed new features to your old app as well.

Full Stack Web Developer - Jack of all Trades
12 Years of Experience. Have worked with major brands (ebay, MLB, Red Bull, Playboy) and architected systems for startups.
Portfolio / work history: https://tomgraft.dev
Looking to work on great projects where I can be a powerful asset in scaling a business. Portfolio at: https://gilli.is Over eight years of experience of working in Fin-tech, Journalism, TV and Media, Health, Science, and more. I can provide the following for you:
- Design — Whether you need a design from scratch, a redesign, or you're having issues with a small part of you product, I can design it.
- Front-end Development — I can build the design into a pixel perfect product, this is rare among us designers and has proven to be extremely powerful for the end result since there is less wasted effort.
- Analysis — Your users know everything that's wrong with your product but have difficulty communicating it. Often it comes out in anger and frustration. That's where my usability and experience analysis comes in. I'll review your app from an outsider and expert point of view, and give you actionable feedback.
- Free advice — You might not be sure if I am the right fit and I very well might not be. I can help you figure out the best direction to go, for free.
I take my work very serious and put a lot of work into good communication, good planning, and, last but not least, properly understanding your product so that we can produce great results.
