Web Development
The dashboard loads. Slowly. A spinner appears, the one your team added 'temporarily' eighteen months ago. Your biggest client is on a video call, waiting. You make small talk about the weather while silently willing React to hydrate faster.
We build web applications where pushing to production is boring. Boring is the goal.
The problem
Sound familiar?
The jQuery inheritance
You inherited a codebase that started as a 'quick prototype' in 2018. It's now 400,000 lines of spaghetti that nobody fully understands. The original developer left two years ago.
The deployment dread
Every deploy is a team ceremony. Someone watches the logs. Someone else has the rollback script ready. Friday deploys are forbidden by unwritten law.
The scaling cliff
Your app works fine for 100 users. At 1,000 it slows. At 5,000 it falls over. Your architecture was designed for launch day, not growth.
The feature paralysis
Adding a new field to a form takes three sprints because everything is coupled to everything else. Your velocity is a fraction of what it was at launch.
Our approach
Here's how we fix this.
We build web applications where pushing to production is boring. Boring is the goal.
How we deliver
From kickoff to production.
Audit & architecture
Week 1-2We read your codebase before we judge it. Identify the load-bearing walls vs. the decorative ones. Map dependencies. Find the 20% of changes that will solve 80% of your pain.
Foundation first
Week 2-3Set up the CI/CD pipeline, testing infrastructure, and deployment strategy before writing features. The boring work that makes everything after it fast.
Incremental delivery
Week 3-12Ship to staging every day. Ship to production every week. Small, reviewable PRs that your team can understand, not thousand-line monsters.
Performance & polish
Week 10-14Lighthouse audits, Core Web Vitals optimization, accessibility compliance. The difference between a web app and a great web app.
Handoff & ownership
Week 14Documentation that developers actually read. Architecture decision records. Your team can iterate on day one without calling us.

We've done this before.
FreightPath Logistics
The situation
FreightPath operated a 12-year-old PHP monolith (Laravel 5.4, never upgraded) that powered shipment tracking, carrier management, rate quoting, and invoicing for 800+ logistics customers. The system processed 45,000 shipments monthly but page loads averaged 11 seconds, the rate quoting engine crashed under concurrent load, and their single MySQL instance was hitting I/O ceiling every afternoon. After an acquisition by a larger logistics group, they needed multi-tenant architecture within 6 months or face a $2.4M integration penalty in the deal terms.
Technical challenge
The monolith had 480K lines of PHP with zero test coverage, business logic embedded in Blade templates, and a 200-table MySQL database with no foreign keys (integrity maintained by application code that frequently failed). The rate quoting engine made synchronous calls to 14 carrier APIs sequentially, a single timeout cascaded into full request failure. They needed multi-tenancy, real-time shipment tracking, sub-2-second page loads, and SOC 2 audit readiness, all without disrupting 800 active customers during migration.
What we did
Architected a Next.js 14 frontend with server components for the dashboard, reducing client-side JavaScript by 73% and enabling instant navigation between shipment views via streaming SSR
Decomposed the monolith into 6 domain services (Quoting, Tracking, Billing, Carrier Management, Customer Portal, Reporting) running as containerized Node.js services behind an API gateway
Built an async rate quoting engine using BullMQ that fans out to all 14 carrier APIs in parallel with circuit breakers, quotes now return in 900ms average instead of 34 seconds
Migrated from single MySQL to PostgreSQL with row-level security for multi-tenancy, implementing a strangler fig pattern that ran both systems in parallel for 8 weeks with automated consistency checks
Implemented real-time shipment tracking via WebSocket connections with Redis pub/sub, updating positions every 30 seconds for active shipments across all tenant dashboards simultaneously
