Legacy code
refactoring.
I bring legacy code back in order: remove duplication and workarounds, improve architectural structure, and reduce technical debt — while preserving the system's current behavior.
Legacy code doesn't have to be rewritten from scratch — it's usually more cost-effective to clean it up carefully. I refactor in small, safe steps so each stage can be verified and regression risk stays minimal.
How I refactor
Audit and plan
I find the problem areas, assess risks, and map out the order of changes — most painful first, cosmetic last.
Safe steps
I change code in small increments with behavior verification so nothing breaks in production.
Structure and readability
I eliminate duplication, distribute responsibilities across layers, and align naming and style.
Tests for critical logic
I cover critical logic with tests to lock in behavior and make future changes safer.
