Rescuing stalled, legacy and AI-built codebases
A product stuck at 80% for months, or a no-code or AI-built prototype that hit its limits, rarely needs a full rewrite. It needs someone who reads the whole system first, fixes what is breaking for users, and then restructures it one piece at a time while it stays live.
Several of my longest client relationships started this way, including an HR platform rebuilt from a prototype into production, a live event photo SaaS that began with an 11-point production review, and a travel platform taken from a broken deployment to a monetized site.
What you get
- A written audit of code, data model and deployment before any change
- Fixes for what is breaking users now, with tests around critical paths
- Step-by-step migration (Laravel to Next.js, Angular to MERN, WordPress to a modern stack)
- Zero data loss, with the system live throughout
- A roadmap and documentation the next engineer can use
Relevant work
VeltoHR ↗
Enterprise HR & onboarding SaaS for SMBs. Multi-tenant PostgreSQL architecture, employee records, compliance tracking, and workforce analytics. Rebuilt from a prototype into a production platform.
EventMemories ↗
Production-readiness audit and stabilization of a live UK event photo-sharing SaaS on AWS Elastic Beanstalk: an 11-point review across auth, RBAC, Stripe billing lifecycle, media handling, and real-time features.
HOMA Travel ↗
Travel-planning platform taken from a broken deployment to a monetized production site: destination matcher quiz, national-park browsing (NPS API), flight search (Amadeus), budget calculator, and a Stripe digital-product shop. Built so a non-technical owner runs every bit of content without code.
Client Portal & Internal Ops System
Rescue and rebuild of a Monday-style internal management system and client portal for a visual marketing company: board and task views with drag-and-drop, file handling on cloud storage, and a client-facing portal over the same data.
CraftiGalaxy3D
Browser-based 3D product customisation tool for e-commerce. Real-time WebGL rendering, texture painting, and AR preview: inherited prototype rebuilt for production scale.
Questions
Can you fix code written by an AI tool or a no-code platform?
Yes. I map what was generated, keep what works, and rebuild the parts that will not hold, so you are not paying for a rewrite you do not need.
Will the product go offline during the rebuild?
No. Changes ship in small steps behind tests and monitoring, and each one is verified while the system stays live.
