Audits, Rescue & Ongoing Ownership
Taking over systems someone else started: code audits, stabilisation, modernisation, and long-term technical ownership of software that still has to run.

Own
Keep it running
02 / 07 What this covers
Inheriting an existing codebase and making it safe to change again
Not every project starts from nothing. A previous developer moved on, an agency finished the contract, or the system grew past what it was designed for. This covers understanding what is there, stabilising it, and taking responsibility for it going forward.
Typical scope
Code audit, dependency and security updates, refactoring, documentation, and continuing maintenance
That can start as a one-off audit with a written assessment, become a stabilisation project to clear the urgent risks, and continue as ongoing ownership: updates, monitoring, small features, and being the person who answers when something breaks.
Why it matters
Unowned software does not stay still; it decays
Dependencies age into vulnerabilities, undocumented behaviour becomes folklore, and each change gets riskier until nobody wants to touch it. Bringing a system back under active ownership is almost always cheaper than the rewrite it is heading towards.
03 / 07 Supporting stack
Reading unfamiliar systems quickly, then reducing risk in the order that matters
The first job is an honest assessment: what works, what is fragile, what is a genuine security concern, and what is merely untidy. The work then follows that order rather than starting with whatever is most satisfying to rewrite.
04 / 07 Proof
Work that already carries this
- 25+ years across languages and stacks, including inherited ones
- Architecture and performance services for the structural problems an audit finds
- Hosting and platform services for the infrastructure half of modernisation
- Independent assessment, with no incentive to recommend a rewrite

Inherited something that still has to run?
An audit gives you a clear picture of what you actually have: what is safe, what is urgent, and what it would take to own it properly.
