Project details

Do you have a legacy web application that is difficult to maintain, hard to deploy, slow to change, or risky to scale?

I will review your existing application and create a modernization roadmap that helps you move from technical debt to a safer, more maintainable architecture. This is not a generic "rewrite everything" recommendation. The goal is to identify the safest path forward: what to keep, what to refactor, what to replace, and in what order.

This service is ideal for founders, CTOs, SaaS teams, agencies, and businesses with older React, Node.js, JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP, Laravel, Rails, Angular, jQuery, or custom web applications that need a realistic modernization plan before committing budget to development.

You will receive a clear technical roadmap, risk assessment, phased migration strategy, and recommended execution plan.

GTM Expert Needed for AI SaaS Launch and Growth Strategy Rafal was a great advisor and a valuable part of moving this project forward. He brought strong technical insight, asked the right questions, and helped bring clarity to areas that were previously ambiguous.

What I appreciated most was his ability to balance big-picture thinking with practical execution. He didn’t just suggest ideas, he helped translate them into actionable steps that made real progress.

Communication was consistent, thoughtful, and professional throughout. Rafal was easy to work with and clearly invested in helping the project succeed.

I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a sharp, reliable technical advisor.

Front-end developer for our grocery shopping webapp Rafal delivered good work on this React Native development project and I enjoyed working with him. His communication was good and he speaks English very well. He has sometimes been busy with other work, but apart from that it has been a good cooperation all along.

Warsaw, Poland - 2:26 am local time
You have an idea - or a half-built product - and a deadline that already feels uncomfortable.

What you don't need is a junior dev who needs hand-holding, or an agency that goes quiet for three weeks and bills you for the silence. You need someone who can sit at the whiteboard with you, pressure-test the idea, then build the thing.

That's what I do. I help founders take AI SaaS products from "here's the concept" to "here's the live product users are paying for" - fast, and without the technical debt that kills you six months in.

What that looks like in practice:
- Validate before we build. I ask the uncomfortable questions early so you don't burn your runway building the wrong thing.
- Architect for speed and scale. Fast MVP that won't need a full rewrite the moment it gets traction.
- Ship. End-to-end: backend, frontend, AI/LLM integrations, auth, payments, deployment. One point of contact, no telephone game.
- Translate strategy into steps. I don't just hand you ideas - I turn them into a roadmap you can actually execute.

I work best with non-technical founders who want a real technical partner (not a vendor), and with technical founders who need an extra senior pair of hands to hit a launch date.

My stack: Next.js / React, Node, Postgres, OpenAI & Anthropic APIs, LLM, vector DBs, (SQL/NoSQL), Stripe, GCP / Azure.

If you're trying to get something real in front of users quickly and you want it done right the first time - let's talk. Send me a few lines about what you're building and where you're stuck, and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right person for it.

Steps for completing your project

After purchasing the project, send requirements so Rafal can start the project.

Delivery time starts when Rafal receives requirements from you.

Rafal works on your project following the steps below.

Revisions may occur after the delivery date.

Business and technical context review

I learn what the app does, what problems you are facing, and what constraints matter most.

Legacy system review

I inspect the codebase, architecture, dependencies, deployment process, and high-risk areas.

Review the work, release payment, and leave feedback to Rafal.
