Technical review sprints
We read production paths, dependency graphs, and deployment scripts, then deliver a written findings memo with prioritized refactor steps — no vanity scores, only issues your on-call team would feel.

Craft-led programming consulting for legacy application modernization — from COBOL-era batch jobs to service boundaries your team can own in production.
Review our modernization path +886-2-0000-2201Each engagement is scoped as paid project work: a defined deliverable, an agreed review cadence, and hands-on implementation support where your staff needs a senior engineer beside them.

We read production paths, dependency graphs, and deployment scripts, then deliver a written findings memo with prioritized refactor steps — no vanity scores, only issues your on-call team would feel.

Legacy flat files, stored procedures, and overnight batch windows get mapped to target schemas with rollback checkpoints. We document every transform so auditors and future hires can trace lineage.

After the plan is signed off, we embed with your engineers to extract modules, add characterization tests, and land changes behind feature flags instead of big-bang cutovers.
Modernization is not a framework upgrade poster — it is the disciplined craft of keeping payroll, inventory, and compliance flows alive while the code underneath changes shape.
We trace the five slowest batch jobs and the screens operators escalate most, then agree on measurable guardrails before touching architecture diagrams.
Read models, anti-corruption layers, and queue handoffs let you peel slices without freezing feature work for a year.
Shadow traffic, reconciliation reports, and operator sign-off sessions stay in the weekly rhythm until the legacy path can be retired.
Runbooks, on-call notes, and pairing hours are budgeted so your team—not us—owns the steady state.

No. We augment existing teams for bounded projects. Staff augmentation without a written scope is something we decline.
Engagements routinely involve IBM i and z/OS adjacent workloads, .NET Framework monoliths, Java EE ear files, and PHP codebases that predate Composer. We state stack fit honestly in the proposal—if it is outside our bench, we say so early.
Project quotes cover defined deliverables; day-rate pairing is available for implementation phases. Specific fees are agreed in writing per engagement—we do not publish rate cards on this site.
Share the runtime, pain points, and any compliance deadlines. We respond by email with whether a review sprint or implementation pairing fits.
