Service / Rescue & Modernization

Make the app safe to change and ship again.

For teams stuck in regressions, failed handoffs, risky legacy code, or architecture that makes every release feel like a gamble. Start with a focused audit when the root cause is unclear, or go straight into a rescue sprint when the blocker is already known.

If this sounds familiar

  • A previous team or handoff left the app difficult to reason about.
  • Fixing one bug keeps creating another.
  • Legacy UIKit, Objective-C, persistence, concurrency, or architecture is slowing delivery.
  • The next meaningful release is slipping and a rewrite is not a plan.

What I’ll deliver

  • A focused technical audit or triage of the current state, risky flows, and immediate blockers.
  • A prioritized stabilization and modernization plan: fix now, defer, or leave alone.
  • Hands-on SwiftUI/UIKit, persistence, networking, testing, performance, and concurrency work where needed.
  • A release path with tradeoffs stated plainly and ownership left in better shape for the existing team.

A short path from uncertainty to useful change.

  1. Start with the blocked release, known failures, constraints, and what cannot slip.
  2. If the cause is unclear, run a short audit first; if it is already understood, move directly into implementation.
  3. Execute the smallest rescue or modernization sprint that restores stable forward motion.
  4. Leave the app easier to ship, easier to explain, and easier for the team to own.

This works best when…

  • Release is fragile
  • Modernization is overdue
  • A senior unblocker is needed
  • No rewrite theatre
