Maintenance
App Maintenance and Support
After launch, software needs fixes, dependency updates and the occasional feature. I also take over codebases when the original developer is gone.
What you can expect
- A written picture of the current system
- Fixes you can verify
- Optional monthly support
A takeover starts with access, a list of broken flows and a short read of the repo. I tell you what is safe to change and what should wait. I do not pretend a legacy system is healthy if it is not.
Maintenance can be a few paid fixes or a monthly block of hours. You still get notes on what changed. Security updates are prioritised over cosmetic work.
Work is remote and worldwide. I reply on WhatsApp, email or a call, usually within a few hours. You own the source code. Nothing ships without a human review of correctness, security and the handover notes.
How AI helps on this engagement
AI tools help read an unfamiliar codebase faster. I still reproduce the bug and review the patch.

Frequently asked questions
- Can you fix a site you did not build?
- Yes, after I can run it and see the issue. Share the repo, hosting and a screenshot.
- Do you offer a monthly retainer?
- Yes. Hours are agreed up front. Unused scope is not invented to fill a quota.
- Will you modernise a legacy app?
- When it is worth it. Sometimes a targeted fix is smarter than a rewrite.
- How fast is a small bug fix?
- If I can reproduce it, a small fix is often days, not a new project.
- Who owns the changes?
- You do. Patches land in your repository.
