Ihor B.

Senior Delphi developer with 18+ years of experience building and maintaining Windows desktop software. I take on the applications most developers won't touch: legacy Delphi codebases that need new features, stabilization, or a path to a modern version. What I do: - New features and long-term support for existing Delphi / Object Pascal applications - Legacy modernization — migrating old Delphi versions to current ones, improving architecture along the way - Cross-platform builds: Windows plus Android/iOS from a single Delphi codebase - UI work with DevExpress components - Integrations: connecting desktop applications to web services and REST APIs Database-backed applications: SQL design, optimization, reporting Recent work on Upwork: eight months supporting a production Windows + Android/iOS Delphi application for a German client (5.0), and a DevExpress-based calendar scheduler proof-of-concept delivered in a week (5.0). I work in a structured way — clear estimates, regular updates, tested deliverables — and I'm comfortable joining an existing team or working solo. I'm part of Smereka Tech, a small senior team: when a project needs web, backend, or AI capacity beyond the desktop part, we cover that too.
