Have you dealt with legacy or inherited projects that require support and modernization?

Yes, in my practice, I have worked on projects with outdated or inherited code that required support and modernization. Usually, such projects have the following features:

• Lack or insufficiency of documentation.
• Use of outdated technologies or libraries.
• Complex architecture without modularity.

To work with such projects, I applied the following approaches:

• Analysis and refactoring: Gradually improving the code structure, extracting modules, simplifying complex sections.
• Adding tests: Writing unit and integration tests for critical parts to ensure safety of changes.
• Updating dependencies: Updating libraries and frameworks to the latest versions whenever possible.
• Documentation: Creating documentation on architecture and key components.

This approach helps reduce technical debt and improve product quality, ensuring its further development and support.
