One-person consultancy · UK · remote-first
I take on production software and keep it in good shape.
IntegraBlue is my one-person consultancy. I'm Jon Lombard, an independent senior developer. Backend, APIs, frontend, databases, infrastructure, tests and CI/CD, plus the conversations with the people who need the work done.
Most of the work is modernising a system that already exists, making it maintainable, protecting data while it changes, and reducing what it costs to run in the cloud. I stay with the product. You deal with me the whole way.
Some of the work
Examples from past work.
API modernisation
I moved long-lived .NET Framework APIs toward modern .NET. Existing behaviour had to stay intact, so much of the work was compatibility checks and repairing what the upgrade broke. I've worked on spaghetti codebases and turned them into lasagna: clear layers with distinct responsibilities.
Legacy rewrite
I rewrote legacy software and simplified the Azure estate that ran it, including infrastructure described in Terraform. I looked at what was actually running, and the running spend came down.
Customer and admin interfaces
I rebuilt customer and admin interfaces, with automated tests and a release pipeline so changes could be checked before they went out.
Work together
Discuss your project.
If you have a system that needs modernising, or a product that needs ongoing ownership, email me and I'll say whether it's a fit. A smaller, well-defined build is sometimes the right first slice.
