I will fix bugs and maintain legacy or vibe coded systems


About this gig
I specialize in maintaining, fixing, and stabilizing legacy systems and vibe-coded projects that grew without proper architecture.
If your system:
- nobody fully understands anymore
- breaks randomly
- was built fast and never cleaned up
- has bugs that come back
- is scary to change or upgrade
I step in, understand the system, and make it stable, predictable, and maintainable.
This is not cosmetic refactoring.
My focus is real impact: fewer bugs, better performance, safer changes.
What I can help you with
- Fixing production bugs and crashes
- Analyzing logs, stack traces, and error patterns
- Maintaining legacy codebases
- Refactoring messy or rushed code safely
- Performance and memory optimization
- REST API fixes and improvements
- Dependency and framework upgrades
- Explaining undocumented code
- Reducing technical debt (without rewriting everything)
