Legacy Code Refactoring & Performance Optimization
Challenge
The application suffered from stability issues and performance bottlenecks caused by outdated code and aging technology infrastructure, with 23% of users experiencing slow load times and application crashes occurring 3x more frequently than industry benchmarks
