Build Your Web Application or Modernize What You Have
Full-stack web application development using React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js. Feature-complete delivery including authentication, state management, REST API integration, internationalization (English/French), accessibility (WCAG AA), and CI/CD deployment. This website was built with this stack.
The Reality
What This Solves
These are the web application problems that slow teams down, block compliance, and make every deploy feel like a risk.
Applications built fast are now too fragile to extend without breaking things
MVPs built to ship quickly accumulate the kind of tech debt that makes every new feature a negotiation with existing code. Without proper state management, component architecture, and test coverage, velocity drops and bugs multiply. Modernizing the application correctly costs less than continuing to work around it.
Authentication is basic and there is no real permissions layer
Username and password gets an application to launch. It doesn't get it past a government procurement review or an enterprise security audit. Role-based access control, audit logging, and 2FA are table stakes for any application serving regulated industries or government clients.
English-only applications can't meet government or bilingual market requirements
Federal procurement in Canada requires English/French bilingual support. Building internationalization into an existing application that wasn't designed for it is expensive and error-prone. Starting with i18n in the architecture is the only approach that scales.
Deployments are manual, undocumented, and something everyone dreads
Without a CI/CD pipeline, deploys depend on whoever knows the steps — and those steps are rarely written down. Every release carries the same risk as the first one. A properly configured GitLab or GitHub Actions pipeline with automated build, test, and deploy removes that risk entirely.
How It Works
The Azure Clarity Framework
Whether the engagement is a new application built from scratch or an existing one modernized, every project runs through the same four-phase model — requirements documented before design begins, architecture approved before any code is written.
- Phase 01 — AssessWeek 1
Current State Documented and Baselined Before Touching Anything
The free cloud assessment isn't a sales call — it's a structured audit: Azure Advisor recommendations, cost and usage reports, stakeholder interviews, and a documented performance and security baseline. You receive a current-state picture before scope is discussed.
- Azure cost baseline report with idle and over-provisioned resource inventory
- Architecture review document against the Well-Architected Framework pillars
- Risk and security register — open findings prioritised by severity
- Proposed engagement scope and ROI estimate — no obligation to proceed
- Phase 02 — ArchitectWeeks 2–3
Target State Designed, Reviewed, and Approved Before Any Work Begins
Target-state architecture is designed using the Cloud Adoption Framework as the structural backbone and the Well-Architected Framework as the quality gate. Every design decision is documented with the rationale. Nothing gets built until the architecture has passed review and received client sign-off.
- Target architecture diagram (network topology, identity, governance, environment layout)
- WAF review report with specific remediation items mapped to implementation phases
- Prioritised roadmap: phased delivery plan with effort estimates and dependency order
- Security baseline specification (NSG rules, IAM roles, Key Vault policies)
- Phase 03 — ImplementWeeks 4–10
Phased Delivery — Infrastructure First, Workloads Second, Automation Throughout
Implementation follows the approved roadmap in two-week sprints with a written summary at each milestone. ARM templates and Azure DevOps pipelines are used for every resource so your team has full visibility and can operate independently. Workloads are promoted through DEV → SIT → UAT → PROD — no skipping steps.
- Azure environment deployed via ARM templates with full version history in Azure DevOps
- CI/CD pipeline configured on Azure DevOps — automated build, test, and deploy
- Workloads migrated and validated against defined acceptance criteria per environment
- Security findings from Phase 01 remediated and verified before handover
- Phase 04 — Validate & HandoverWeeks 11–12
You Own It — Fully Documented, Benchmarked Against the Baseline, and Operated by Your Team
Every KPI established in Phase 01 is closed out, all documentation is delivered, and a structured knowledge transfer ensures your team operates the environment independently. A 30-day post-handover support window is included in every engagement to catch anything that surfaces in production.
- Performance and cost report benchmarked against the Week 1 baseline — measurable outcomes
- Operational runbooks and architecture decision records (ADRs) for every component
- Two-session knowledge transfer workshop with your technical team
- 30-day post-handover support window included at no additional cost
