THE PROBLEM

Sound familiar?

You don't need to explain what Delphi is to me. I've been there. I know 
what it looks like when a system becomes a liability.

"The only person who understood our system left two years ago. We're flying blind."

"Every small change takes weeks — and somehow breaks something else entirely."

"We're terrified it'll stop working one day. But we can't afford a full rewrite."

"Nobody in our team can touch the codebase. We're completely dependent on one contractor."

SIGNS YOUR SYSTEM NEEDS ATTENTION

Does any of this ring a bell?

Crashes randomly — and nobody knows why.

Noticeably slower than it used to be.

Adding new features feels impossibly risky.

Original developer is gone — or unavailable.

Running on hardware nobody makes anymore.

No documentation. None. Whatsoever.

WHAT I DO

Outcomes, not jargon

I'm not going to tell you I'm a "Delphi ninja wizard guru". Here's what I can actually do for you.

Bug Fixing & Stablisation

01.

Identify and resolve the crashes, data issues, and gremlins that have been haunting your system for years.

New Features, Safely Added

02.

Extend your system without the fear. I understand legacy codebases and work carefully to avoid unintended consequences.

Performance & Reliability

03.

Systems that ran fine in 2005 often need tuning for today's data volumes and expectations.

UI Modernisation

04.

Make it look like it was built this decade, not the last one — without rebuilding the logic that actually works.

Integration with Modern Systems

05.

Connect your Delphi application to REST APIs, web services, and current platforms your business depends on.

Migration Planning

06.

If migration genuinely makes sense, I'll tell you — and help you plan it properly, not panic into it.

THE REWRITE TRAP

Most companies think they need to start over.

"Rewrites are expensive, risky, and they fail far more often than anyone admits. In most cases, your existing system can be improved and extended for a fraction of the cost — and it can keep running while the work happens."

I don't recommend a rewrite unless it's genuinely the right call. 

THE REWRITE

INCREMENTAL IMPROVEMENT

  • 18–36 months of uncertainty
  • Enormous budget overruns
  • Business logic lost in translation
  • 50%+ failure rate (industry-wide)
  • Staff retraining costs
  • Targeted fixes, visible results
  • Predictable, controlled costs
  • Existing logic preserved
  • System stays running throughout
  • Knowledge transferred back to your team

WHY ME

Outcomes real software.

Maintained real systems.

I don't just know Delphi syntax. I understand what it means to own a production system that people depend on every day.

Built from the ground up

Developed and shipped Government and commercial Delphi software used by real businesses across multiple industries.

Multi-user and networked systems

Experience with concurrent access, data integrity, and the joys of debugging things that only fail at 4pm on a Friday.

Deep database experience

From BDE and Paradox through to modern databases. Understanding both the legacy and the path forward.

Legacy & modern together

I can read old code without flinching, and I know which modern approaches are actually worth the transition.

Tell me about your system.

This isn't a job application form. Think of it as triage. The more you can tell me, the faster we can figure out what's actually going on.
