Optimization & refactoring

The problem your team has been stuck on for days, solved in hours.

Scheduling and planning problems with thousands of constraints. Slow systems. Tangled code and messy databases nobody wants to touch. Sameer's specialty is the hard problem that takes veteran engineers days to untangle. He often has the answer in a few hours, sometimes in minutes, and turns it into clean, fast systems that run like a factory.

Free 30-minute call. Bring the problem; we'll often tell you what's wrong on the call.

Sound familiar?

Your system fights you every time you change it.

  • Building schedules or plans by hand takes days, and the result still isn't optimal.
  • Every new feature breaks two old ones.
  • The database is slow, and nobody knows exactly why.
  • The data model made sense two years ago. Now everything works around it.
  • An agency or a departed engineer left code nobody understands.
  • Your team has been stuck on the same problem for a week.
What we fix

From tangled to elegant.

🧮

Optimization algorithms

🗄️

Database refactoring

Schema redesign, safe migrations, cleaned-up data, and queries that go from slow to instant.

🧩

Code refactoring

Untangle complex, duplicated code into clean, well-structured systems your team can actually change.

🏭

Systems that run like a factory

⚡

Performance

Find what's actually slow, fix it at the root, and keep it fast as usage grows.

🐞

The hard bug

The one your team has been stuck on. We find the real cause, not another workaround.

Why us

Fast on the hard part.

Most engineers need days just to understand a complex system before they can safely change it. Sameer's specialty is seeing the whole shape of a problem quickly, then rebuilding it into something simple. 28 years of coding, more than six years building scheduling algorithms at his own startup, and systems built at two Y Combinator startups.

  • Diagnosis in hours, not weeks. We find the real problem fast, so you stop paying for guesswork.
  • Safe, step-by-step changes. Tests first, small steps, and no risky big-bang rewrite.
  • Database changes planned around your uptime. Migrations designed so your product keeps running.
  • Elegant, not clever. The result is simpler than what you started with, and documented.
  • Your team keeps moving. We work alongside ongoing development, not instead of it.

Talk

A free call about the problem. Often we can point to the cause before the call ends.

Diagnose

We review the code or database and pinpoint what's really wrong, usually fast.

Refactor

Safe, step-by-step changes with tests, so nothing breaks along the way.

Hand over

Clean, documented code your team can own, or we stay on to keep it that way.

FAQ

Refactoring questions

Can we start with just one problem?

Yes. Many clients start by bringing us the one problem that's been blocking them for days. If it goes well, we look at the rest.

Do we have to stop development while you work?

No. We work in small, safe steps alongside your team's ongoing work.

Will you rewrite everything?

Almost never. A full rewrite is usually the slowest and riskiest option. We refactor what's there into something clean.

What technologies do you work with?

Python, JavaScript and TypeScript, Node.js, PHP and Laravel, React, Angular, Ionic, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Supabase, Docker, AWS, Google Cloud, and most common web stacks.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes, happily, before you share any code.
