Outcome
Full rewrite → Launch → Acquisition
When I joined the ALEE project, it was in crisis. The previous development team had delivered what could generously be called a proof of concept - code that was nowhere near production ready. The client lacked technical expertise to understand the true state of their product or the work required to reach launch. They needed not just a developer, but a technical leader who could assess, rebuild, and guide the project to success.
