Step 1
Describe the product and the pain
Stack, team size, and where delivery hurts most. A few honest sentences beat a polished brief.
Fixed-scope audit · Architecture
Technical Audit for SaaS Products That Have Outgrown Their Architecture
The architecture that got you to product–market fit is rarely the one that scales past it. This audit maps where your frontend actually stands — what is solid, what is fragile, what breaks next — and gives your team a prioritized plan instead of a rewrite pitch.
Scope
What the audit covers.
- Frontend architecture and its boundaries
- React and Next.js performance
- State management
- Data fetching patterns
- Caching
- Bundle size and build output
- Error handling and resilience
- Technical debt — named, located, and ranked
- Component structure and reuse
- Scalability of the current approach
- Developer experience and delivery speed
- Deployment risks
Signals
You probably need this if…
- Features take noticeably longer to ship every quarter
- Onboarding a new engineer takes months instead of weeks
- Small changes keep breaking unrelated parts of the product
- Performance degrades a little with every release
- The team is starting to argue for a full rewrite
Process
How it works.
Step 2
Fixed scope, agreed up front
A short call to confirm fit, then a written scope and quote before the audit starts.
Step 3
Audit, findings, walkthrough
I read the code, profile the system, and talk to the people closest to the pain — then walk your team through root causes ranked by impact and a remediation sequence they can actually execute.
FAQ
Common questions.
How is this different from a code review?
A code review looks at lines; this looks at the system. The audit connects architecture, performance, technical debt, and delivery speed to business outcomes — which risks are expensive, which are cosmetic, and in what order to fix them. Style nitpicks are explicitly out of scope.
Will our engineers be involved?
Yes, deliberately. Short interviews with the people closest to the pain are part of the method — they know where the bodies are buried — and the findings are delivered as a working session with the team, not a PDF thrown over the wall.
What happens after the audit?
You get a prioritized remediation plan your team can execute on its own. If you want hands-on help, a fixed-scope implementation sprint is available — but the audit is designed to stand alone, and there is no obligation to continue.

Hardening a network-security admin platform while it kept shipping
Security consoles can’t have bad days. At Cato Networks I modernized legacy admin infrastructure and shipped new mission-critical screens — without pausing the release train.
MEGOGO
Leading frontend delivery for national-scale live streaming
Live sports don’t get a second take. As Engineering Team Lead at MEGOGO I owned player and app delivery across web, Smart TV, mobile, and console platforms.
Tell me what is blocked, underperforming, or difficult to ship.
I will tell you whether I can help — and what the smallest useful next step would be. If I’m not the right person, I’ll say so.
