    Timeline

    12/2022 – 09/2023

    Brought in as interim Fractional CTO during a pivotal pre-launch phase to stabilize and modernize a partially migrated codebase before launch, eliminating architectural risk and establishing engineering standards.

    The Challenge

    An incomplete refactor left the API in a half-migrated state, with duplicated dependencies, missing observability, cross-origin security errors, and no automated quality enforcement — all weeks before launch.

    The Solution

    Refactored the backend into a fully typed TypeScript GraphQL service, standardized architecture across three repos, implemented automated quality gates, and introduced production observability. Upgraded core dependencies while maintaining uninterrupted feature development.

    The Result

    • Reduced codebase by 50%+. • Cut feature development effort by over 50%. • Raised CodeFactor grade from C → B. • Eliminated cross-origin security errors. • Enabled stable launch with scalable engineering foundation
