Every month you delay addressing accumulated technical debt costs more than the last. Security vulnerabilities accumulate. Talent becomes harder to find. Competitors move faster. The "cost of doing nothing" compounds while the system becomes harder to change.
Whether you're managing a critical VB6 application that nobody wants to touch, a Java monolith that's become unmaintainable, or .NET framework code that can't leverage modern cloud capabilities—there's a path forward.
I only take on projects where I believe I can deliver meaningful value. If your system doesn't need modernization, or the timing isn't right, I'll tell you honestly. My reputation depends on successful outcomes, not billable hours.
