Legacy Code Refactoring

Incremental modernization of decaying backend codebases, decoupling tight structures, and introducing comprehensive tests.

Modernize your existing software step by step. Legacy Code Refactoring focuses on transforming hard-to-maintain, untested Python, Ruby, or other backend codebases into modular, testable structures. I establish safety boundaries with integration tests, identify domain seams, and decouple tightly bound logic while keeping production risk visible.
