Senior .NET delivery
I help UK product teams, agencies and established businesses fix, extend and modernise live C#, ASP.NET and SQL Server applications without turning every problem into a rewrite.
Typical work includes production defects, fragile workflows, SQL and data problems, APIs and integrations, contained features and temporary senior capacity.
Available for fixed-scope delivery, confidential agency overflow and longer senior contract allocations, depending on the requirement.
The focus is on Microsoft-stack systems that already matter to operations or revenue. For contained work, the aim is to define the smallest useful piece that can reduce risk or unblock delivery; longer requirements can be handled as an agreed contract or agency allocation.
Production defects, fragile workflows, ageing code and undocumented behaviour in live C#, ASP.NET and SQL Server applications. The aim is the smallest reliable intervention, not a rewrite for its own sake.
Explore application rescue and bug-fix workSlow queries, brittle stored procedures, failed imports, malformed exports, reporting problems and recurring manual corrections. The work is scoped around the affected workflow, data and expected result.
Explore SQL and data-flow fixesDefined backlog items, administration workflows, REST API changes and third-party integrations. For contained work, scope and acceptance criteria are agreed up front, with testing and handover matched to the change.
Explore contained feature deliveryA defined workstream or longer allocation for a product team or agency that needs experienced C#/.NET delivery. Confidentiality, client boundaries and handover are agreed up front.
Send your capacity requirementsCommon situations
The service is designed for operational blockages, delivery pressure and fragile parts of live systems that need experienced .NET ownership.
Existing systems
Older software does not automatically need replacing. Where an existing application still supports the business, targeted maintenance can reduce operational risk and remove the defects or bottlenecks causing the most friction. IncaStack works within the current architecture where practical, documents the boundary and identifies larger risks without turning every engagement into a re-platforming project.
For evidence of direct product and production ownership, see selected delivery work and Craig's background.
Not sure how far the change should go? Read the legacy application modernisation guide for a practical way to compare contained improvement, subsystem replacement and a full rewrite.
Ways to engage
A known defect, integration or feature may suit contained fixed-scope delivery. If the cause or safest delivery boundary is unclear, the first step is to establish what needs investigating before a larger piece of work is agreed. Longer requirements can be handled as an agency or senior contract allocation.
A defined defect, workflow, integration or feature delivered against agreed scope, assumptions and acceptance criteria.
Where the cause or safest change is not yet clear, establish the relevant technical context, risks and dependencies before committing to a larger delivery scope.
A defined workstream or longer senior allocation inside an existing team or agency-led project. Pricing and terms reflect duration, responsibilities, working pattern and the actual engagement circumstances.
The strongest engagements have a real operational or delivery problem, an accountable owner, enough access to investigate safely and a sensible boundary for the first piece of work.
Send the current situation, desired outcome and any important constraints. I will review the requirement directly and let you know what information is needed to take it further.
