About this service

Summary

Get a second pair of expert eyes on your codebase. As a seasoned software engineer with 9+ years of hands-on experience across multiple languages and architectures, I provide structured, actionable, and language-agnostic code reviews. My focus is not only on clean and maintainable code but also on aligning your implementation with engineering best practices, performance considerations, scalability, and developer experience.
Whether you're a solo developer, startup team, or scaling engineering org, I’ll help you identify code smells, architectural flaws, and process gaps — and recommend practical improvements tailored to your context.
Let’s ensure your codebase is something your team can be proud of.

Process

Kickoff & Access Setup We clarify scope, goals, and share access to your repo or code snippet.
Code Review & Analysis I analyze the code for quality, structure, adherence to best practices, and potential risks.
Documentation & Suggestions You’ll receive a comprehensive review report and best practices checklist, with optional inline PR comments.
Consultation Call We schedule a 30-minute call to walk through the findings and answer questions.
Optional Follow-up After your team implements changes, I can perform a second pass to ensure everything aligns.

FAQs

  • What languages or stacks do you review?

    I work across multiple languages including Java, Rust, Go, PHP, JavaScript/TypeScript (Node.js), and Python. Stack-specific nuances are always considered.

  • Do you work with frontend code?

    Primarily backend, but I can review frontend logic-heavy codebases on a case-by-case basis — especially React or full-stack apps.

  • How do I share my code with you?

    You can invite me to your GitHub/GitLab repo or send a downloadable archive with clear instructions.

  • What if my codebase is larger than 15,000 lines?

    Custom audits are available. Send me the size and scope, and I’ll give a tailored quote.

  • Will you make the code changes for me?

    No, this is a consulting service focused on review and guidance. However, I can point you to best implementation paths.

  • Can this service be ongoing?

    Yes — retainer-style monthly code review support is available if your team needs regular check-ins or oversight.
