Codebase Walkthrough & Analysis Support
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
I have a functioning website backed by a database and several interconnected scripts, but I cannot contact the original developer. My immediate goal is to understand the existing code so I can eventually hand maintenance and new features over to the right person.
The focus is very much on the Code itself—front-end, back-end and anything in between. I know PHP is involved and I also see traces of Python, Node JS and Ruby, but the precise blend—and even the actual database engine, which is currently recorded simply as “PHP”—remains uncertain.
Here is how I would like to work:
• We will meet on Microsoft Teams. I will share my screen and give you access to every relevant folder, web interface and console.
• You guide me step-by-step, explaining the architecture, logic flow, functions and any third-party libraries so I can grasp what has already been built.
• After each session, you provide a concise written recap highlighting key components, dependencies, and next-step recommendations.
Excellent spoken English is essential because this is all about clear real-time explanations.
If you are comfortable deciphering someone else’s PHP work, untangling mixed-language stacks and translating tech details into plain English, I look forward to our first walkthrough.
To confirm you have read everything, please open your proposal with the single word “Pineapple”.
