Looking for an Experienced VB.NET Developer for Manual Programming - No AI Tools

I'm in need of an experienced Visual Basic (.NET) developer to work on my existing website. The site is built on an old legacy version of VB.NET and needs bringing up to date.

The work will include:

- Upgrading the project to the latest supported .NET Framework manually without relying on AI tools.
- Fixing existing bugs and issues through human effort for precision.
- Improving performance and stability through thoughtful, manual programming.
- Adding new features and enhancing existing functionality as planned.
- General maintenance and ongoing support with a focus on manual coding practices.

I'm specifically looking for freelancers committed to hands-on development without using AI tools to speed up the process. This is vital to ensure high-quality, thought-out work tailored to my needs.

Key skills required:

- Visual Basic (.NET)
- ASP.NET
- SQL Server
- Experience with Legacy .NET Applications

When applying, please provide:

1. Examples of similar projects you've worked on, especially if they're legacy applications modernized without AI tools.
2. Your experience with VB.NET development manually.
3. Whether you're available for ongoing work beyond this initial upgrade project.
4. Your hourly rate or fixed pricing preference.

This is intended as a long-term partnership. I'm seeking someone reliable who can deliver quality results while avoiding shortcuts.
