You will get a ranked fix list for your unstable production system
Project details
Something's broken in production, and the cause isn't obvious yet. Intermittent 500s. A slowdown that only shows at peak times. A deploy that quietly broke something three weeks ago. You need the diagnosis before you can fix it.
Finding it is the job. I go through your error logs, deploy history, database query patterns, and monitoring gaps, and come back with a plain ranked list: what's broken, what's fragile, what to fix first.
I've been a full-stack engineer for 25+ years, 20+ on production SaaS and high-traffic sites. I've been the person paged at 2 am. The most complex system I've carried: a decade on a multi-tenant platform serving 116 colleges and 2,000 users.
Here's what most listings skip: I write the report, and I can write the fix. Most audits hand you a PDF and disappear. Here, implementation is one message away, same engineer, no re-explaining your system.
I keep my workload deliberately light, so yours gets my full attention from start to finish. Message me before you buy, and I'll give you a real start date, not a maybe.

About TJ
SaaS Architecture Audits & Legacy Modernization | Python, PHP, Vue
San Diego, United States - 6:55 pm local time
Most of my work starts the same way: a fixed-scope audit. I look at your architecture or your legacy codebase, tell you what's actually wrong, and hand you a ranked plan to fix it. Those are set-price projects in my catalog below, so you don't sign up for open-ended hourly work just to find out if we're a fit.
For 25+ years, I've built and modernized mission-critical web platforms in education, e-commerce, nonprofit, and enterprise. I get pulled into complex domains, messy workflows, legacy systems, multi-role permissions, long-lived data, and I stay long enough to make them stable.
What that looks like in practice:
- 10 years owning a multi-tenant SaaS platform for the California Community Colleges system. 116 colleges, 2,000+ users, 300,000+ submissions. Full lifecycle from architecture through production.
- AWS data warehouse and ETL (Glue, S3, Redshift) feeding analytics in JasperReports and Apache Superset.
- Auth and access control built right: RBAC, SSO, Keycloak.
- WCAG 2.2 / ADA / Section 508 compliance designed in from day one.
- Contract work for Bublish, Trekkel, Golightly, and the Simon Wiesenthal Center: full-stack delivery, distributed teams, deployment ownership.
- AI model evaluation and task design for LLM training at Sepal AI (acquired by Mercor). Promoted to Occupational Reviewer for the web developer domain.
My stack: Python, PHP, JavaScript/TypeScript, Vue.js, Laravel, PostgreSQL, MySQL, AWS, Docker, Jenkins.
How I work: I reproduce the problem before touching code. I write tests. I read the surrounding codebase before adding to it. I do exactly what was asked, no silent scope creep, and I flag tradeoffs early.
Best fits: SaaS owners carrying technical debt that needs a steady hand, teams modernizing legacy systems without breaking production, and founders who need a senior engineer to own architecture and ship. If that's you, start with one of the audits below. We'll both know fast whether it's a fit.
Steps for completing your project
After purchasing the project, send requirements so TJ can start the project.
Delivery time starts when TJ receives requirements from you.
TJ works on your project following the steps below.
Revisions may occur after the delivery date.
Access + kickoff
You grant read-only code and log access; we do a short call on what's been breaking.
Diagnosis
I work through your error logs, deploy history, query patterns, and monitoring gaps.
