  • â–¸Stabilized a critically failing Ruby 2.6 / Ember 3.0 platform (both past EOL), mitigating imminent data and platform loss. Built tooling to convert deprecated Ember code into editable JavaScript — preserving years of Speech Language Pathologist refinements.
  • â–¸Negotiated with Heroku and upgraded infrastructure to prevent complete loss of the application, leaving everything operational with satisfied stakeholders.
  • â–¸Rescued Android and iOS apps from deprecation-driven crashes, bringing both to current standards and ensuring uninterrupted service for users who depend on them for daily communication.
  • â–¸Architected a complete infrastructure rebuild on Next.js — injecting compiled legacy Ember JS for continuity — while medical professionals continued refining decade-old features without interruption.
  • â–¸Fully rebuilt cross-platform apps in native code: iOS (Swift), Android (Java/Kotlin), macOS (Swift with native navigation), Windows & Linux (Qt on Rust), replacing deprecated Cordova.
  • â–¸Redesigned content sync from one-asset-at-a-time to compressed, licensed package delivery — saving thousands monthly in data transfer costs and enabling better offline use for AAC users.
