I can Transform Your Legacy Codebase into a Valuable Asset

Hello. I am a consultant specializing in old and poorly documented code bases. I have been writing code for over two decades and have worked with over a dozen languages including: Python, Rust, golang, C, Java, Javascript, Typescript, Haskell, and Elm. I can dive into an unknown and poorly documented code base, document it, write tests and provide professional on-boarding videos to get your team up to speed. I provide comprehensive training and documentation to ensure your team can effectively maintain and enhance your legacy codebase long after our engagement is over. I can also diagnose, reproduce, and fix hard to understand bugs in complex systems. By bringing old code bases up to modern standards I can help you harvest the valuable IP assets you already have, driving new growth and stabilizing the technologies upon which existing revenue streams rely.

I work with companies of all sizes, from startups to established enterprises, who are looking to modernize their legacy codebases and improve their technology stack.

With my help, I can transform a stagnant legacy product into a proven technology which you can believe in and sell.

Past projects include:

- Updating and documenting a legacy telecom diagnostics system which processes hundreds of gigabytes of Netscoute data every day

- Upgrading [django-helpdesk](https://github.com/django-helpdesk/django-helpdesk) to use class based views and performing a security audit on accessible endpoints

- Migrating a mid sized organizations server infrastructure from a diverse set of hosts: EC2, Heroku, VPSes to a unified kuberentes cluster, implementing a fully automated and rollback friendly CI/CD system.

- Maintaining, developing and administering a large Django application used for a bike to work event

- Design and implementation of the POSIX device subsystem for Docker 1.0

- Diagnosing a critical and hard to reproduce bug in Elm-lang's runtime.
