App Modernization

I take old systems — COBOL, AS400, legacy ERP, whatever you've got — and rebuild them on modern tech that your team can actually maintain and extend. No rip-and-replace chaos. A structured, phased migration that keeps your business running throughout.

Talk to me about your system

What this actually involves

App modernization is a broad term. Here's what I specifically do.

COBOL & AS400 → React / Node / Python

I've worked with mainframe and midrange systems that have been running the same code for 20-30 years. I know how to read it, understand it, and rebuild it without losing decades of business logic.

Phased Migration — No Big Bang Rewrites

Big bang rewrites fail. I work in phases: start with the most painful parts, prove the approach, then move the rest. Your business keeps running the whole time.

AWS & Azure Deployment

Once modernized, your app lives in the cloud — containerized, scalable, with proper CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code. No more "it works on my machine."

Data Migration Included

The code is only half the problem. I handle the data migration too — schema transformation, validation, and rollback plans. No surprises when you go live.

What you get at the end

  • Modern codebase your team can actually maintain
  • Cloud-hosted on AWS or Azure — your choice
  • CI/CD pipeline from day one
  • Infrastructure as code (Terraform or CloudFormation)
  • Complete documentation of the new system
  • A 30-day post-launch support window

Not right for everyone

I'd rather tell you upfront than waste both our time:

  • Systems that are already running well on modern tech
  • Projects with no tolerance for a phased approach
  • Timelines under 8 weeks for anything substantial

Not sure if your situation fits? Just describe your system to me and I'll give you a straight answer.

Tell me about your legacy system

Share what you're working with — platform, age, scale, pain points. I'll tell you honestly what's possible and how long it would take.
