@74blublueyes
Senior Delphi architect specializing in legacy modernization, Unicode migrations, and AI-accelerated upgrade tooling.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Delphi Architect with 25+ years dedicated to modernizing legacy Delphi/Pascal systems, migrating mission-critical applications from Delphi 2 through current versions and ensuring zero-downtime transformations.
I design and lead enterprise-scale migrations including BDE→FireDAC, ANSI→Unicode, 32→64-bit conversions, and architecture refactors; I’ve orchestrated national systems supporting hundreds of organizations and hundreds of thousands of users.
I build proprietary AI-enhanced toolchains that automate code analysis, refactoring and test generation—accelerating modernization by around 40%—and implement complete DevOps pipelines, cloud integrations (Azure/AWS), and microservices where appropriate.
I favor long-term, hybrid or remote engagements where I can define technical roadmaps, uplift teams, and deliver high-availability, scalable solutions with measurable performance and cost improvements.
