Refactoring & Code Quality

"Same app, code you can actually read next month."

The app works, but the code is hard to read, hard to change, and harder to explain to anyone else. I clean it up, add safety nets, and leave it in a state where you're not scared to touch it.

The Situation

AI writes code that works. It doesn't always write code that's maintainable. Variable names that mean nothing, functions that do five different things, no tests to catch when something breaks. Six months from now, when you're trying to add something new, you'll spend half your time figuring out how the existing code works.

What I Do

Rename and restructure things so the code explains itself
Add TypeScript so your editor catches mistakes before they reach users
Write tests for the parts that matter most
Set up automated formatting so code style stays consistent without effort
Remove dead code — the stuff that's there but never runs

What You Walk Away With

Code a new developer can read without a guided tour
TypeScript types that prevent entire categories of bugs
Tests that tell you when something breaks before your users do
Consistent formatting that stays consistent automatically

Who This Is For

Anyone building for the long term. If you plan to grow a team, come back to this code in six months, or hand it off to someone else — this pays for itself fast.
