Oluwapelumi S.

Senior .NET & VB.NET Engineer | Legacy Modernization | Azure

I specialize in rescuing aging VB.NET, CLASSIC ASP and .NET Framework applications that have become difficult to maintain. Whether your application has years of accumulated technical debt or needs a phased migration to modern .NET, I focus on delivering stable, maintainable systems with minimal disruption. If your codebase feels fragile, difficult to extend, or weighed down by technical debt - I bring structure, clarity, and long-term maintainability. I don't ship patches. I engineer stable systems. Over the years, I've taken ownership of legacy and partially built applications, refactored them, and guided them into scalable, production-ready states. Selected Work & Impact Legacy VB.NET WebForms Modernization (Inventory + Payments) Inherited an aging inventory system with production instability. Refactored core modules, reduced recurring production bugs, integrated payment processing, and restored operational stability. Strangler Fig Migration (MVC to React) Led incremental migration of a legacy MVC frontend into a modern React architecture using the Strangler Fig pattern. Enabled gradual feature replacement without disrupting production traffic, reducing risk while modernizing the stack. Azure IoT Backend (Safety Device Platform) Took over a partially completed backend and rebuilt critical architecture using Azure Functions and Azure IoT Hub. Implemented real-time device communication, event ingestion pipelines, and system stabilization. HealthTech / EdTech Platform Refactor Assumed full system ownership. Eliminated SQL injection vulnerabilities, hardened the platform against denial-of-service risks, restructured backend logic, and redesigned UI for mobile responsiveness. Enterprise Event Integration (Segment to Salesforce) Extended a C# system to emit structured event properties for Segment ingestion and Salesforce mapping, enabling accurate downstream analytics and CRM automation. How I Work I take ownership of critical systems. I modernize without breaking production. I think in architecture and long-term scalability. I communicate clearly and deliver reliably. Tell me what's breaking or what needs to move forward, and I'll tell you exactly where I'd start.
