You will get a Legacy System Modernization Plan & Roadmap
Project details
This project provides a senior-level modernization plan for legacy or aging systems that are difficult to maintain, scale, or evolve.
I assess the current application architecture, technology stack, dependencies, and operational risks, then design a practical modernization roadmap that balances business continuity with long-term improvement.
This is ideal for organizations running mission-critical systems that cannot simply be rewritten, but must be evolved carefully and strategically.

About Tommy
Senior Software Engineer | Enterprise Applications & Architecture
Powder Springs, United States - 3:17 pm local time
I’m a U.S.-based senior software engineer with 25+ years of experience designing, leading, and delivering enterprise-grade software systems, including complex web and mobile applications. I help businesses design, modernize, and scale software that is reliable, secure, and built to last. I also have niche experience with health technology and compliance (ICD-9, ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, and ICD-11), delivering solutions that meet regulatory standards and support accurate medical data management.
If you’re looking for someone to simply “code what’s written,” I may not be the right fit. If you want a senior engineer who can think strategically, reduce risk, and deliver outcomes, you’re in the right place.
✅ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗗𝗼
I work with founders, executives, and internal teams to deliver custom web and mobile applications that support real business goals—not throwaway prototypes. My work typically includes:
• System-level architecture and technical decision-making for business-critical applications
• Custom web application development
• Mobile-friendly and cross-platform applications
• Backend systems, APIs, and third-party integrations
• Cloud-based architectures and data-driven systems
• Refactoring, modernization, and rescue of legacy or failing projects
• Technical planning, estimation, and delivery oversight
I don’t just build software—I help you make good technical decisions early, so you don’t pay for bad ones later.
✅ 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗲
Clients usually come to me when:
• The project is business-critical
• Previous implementations didn’t scale or became hard to maintain
• They need a senior engineer to own the technical direction
• Quality, security, and long-term maintainability matter
• Clear communication and U.S.-based collaboration are important
Many of my engagements begin after a project has already gone off track. My role is often to stabilize, simplify, and move things forward with confidence.
✅ 𝗠𝘆 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀
I bring both hands-on engineering depth and formal delivery discipline.
• 25+ years in professional software engineering and consulting
• Proven track record with leading organizations such as IBM, AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Progress Software, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
• PMP® certified – structured project execution
• ITIL® v4 certified – operational and service reliability
This means you get more than code—you get predictability, accountability, and professional delivery.
✅ 𝗨𝗜, 𝗨𝗫, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 (𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸)
While I build full-stack systems, I place strong emphasis on:
• Clean, intuitive user interfaces
• Thoughtful user experience design
• Data models and architectures that support growth
• Codebases that other developers can understand and maintain
I avoid overengineering, unnecessary frameworks, and trendy complexity that adds cost without value.
✅ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸
Clients appreciate working with me because I provide:
• Clear requirements and honest technical guidance
• Realistic timelines and transparent communication
• Clean, maintainable, well-documented code
• A collaborative, low-drama working relationship
• A mindset that treats your software as a business asset
I’m proactive, communicative, and direct—especially when tradeoffs need to be discussed.
✅ 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝘁
My rates reflect senior-level experience and responsibility. I’m not positioned for bargain or experiment-only projects.
That said, clients who work with me typically find that:
• Fewer revisions are needed
• Problems are identified earlier
• Total cost of ownership is lower over time
In other words: you pay for experience once, instead of paying for mistakes repeatedly.
✅ 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿
While I work directly with clients as a senior software engineer, I also lead a small, highly-skilled team through my agency, Hubbard Digital. This enables us to take on larger, multi-discipline projects—from full-stack web and mobile development to cloud architecture and content management—while maintaining the same level of quality, security, and accountability you expect from a senior engineer. To view our agency profile, search for “Hubbard Digital” on Upwork.
✅ 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀
If you have a web or mobile application that needs to be:
• Designed thoughtfully
• Built correctly
• Modernized safely
• Or stabilized and improved
Send a message with a brief description of your project and goals. I’ll let you know quickly and honestly whether I’m a good fit. With my niche experience in health technology and compliance, I can also ensure that regulated data systems and medical workflows are implemented accurately and securely when needed.
