You will get a legacy web app modernization roadmap
Top Rated
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.

Job Success
Warsaw, Poland - 12:15 pm local time
Recent work includes:
• Growing to 20k MRR from five SaaS products
• Reducing cloud costs by 90%
• Improving e-commerce conversion rate by 158%
• Contributing to commerce storefront workflows on a platform serving 5M+ monthly users
• Improving P0 recovery time to approximately 30 minutes
• Scaling video rendering on cloud to 200 jobs per day, with peaks around 500
I’m a strong fit when:
• You have an AI SaaS idea or partially built product that needs a clear path to launch
• Your React, Next.js, or Node application is unreliable, expensive, or difficult to deploy
• Your team needs a senior engineer to own a critical product workflow or launch deadline
• You need a technical audit or modernization plan before committing to a larger build
What I can own:
• Product and technical scope
• Frontend and backend implementation
• OpenAI and Anthropic API integrations
• Authentication, subscriptions, Stripe, and third-party integrations
• Queues, rendering, retries, logging, and observability
• Deployment, production checks, documentation, and handoff
My approach:
1. Clarify the business outcome, users, deadline, and constraints
2. Define the smallest valuable scope and measurable acceptance criteria
3. Build, test, deploy, and document the agreed workflow
4. Surface risks and tradeoffs early
Core stack: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, Python, Remotion, FFmpeg, OpenCV, Stripe, GCP, Azure, Docker, and Kubernetes.
Message me with what you’re building, its current stage or stack, and your target launch date. I’ll reply with the likely next step and tell you directly whether I’m the right fit.
