I have an existing React application in production and need a reliable developer to step in, clear a backlog of issues, and keep the codebase healthy moving forward. The work is a mix of quick bug hunts, polishing rough edges, and occasionally extending functionality when a new requirement pops up. You should be comfortable working inside a codebase you didn’t start, tracing problems through functional components, hooks, and modern state-management patterns. Typical tasks include hunting down console errors, tightening up visual consistency, smoothing out navigation quirks, and wiring new API endpoints when the back-end team ships them. I work through Git (GitHub) and expect concise pull requests with clear commit messages and enough context to make code reviews painless. Every fix or feature must arrive lint-clean and covered by basic component or integration tests; I currently use Jest and React Testing Library, but I’m open to suggestions if you have a stronger workflow. If you’ve spent time rescuing legacy React projects, understand performance traps such as unnecessary re-renders, and can communicate blockers early, this should be straightforward work. Please tell me about one tricky React bug you recently solved and roughly how long it took—real-world anecdotes help me understand your approach. The first milestone will be a single, clearly scoped ticket so we can both confirm fit before moving on to the rest of the queue.
