Modernize YourLegacy Platform,Faster & Cheaper
Transform aging systems into modern, maintainable platforms — powered by 20+ years of engineering expertise and AI-first development. I don't just modernize and disappear. I form lasting partnerships that grow your platform over time.
Why Modernize With Me?
Most modernization projects need separate engineers, product managers, and designers — then suffer from handoffs and misalignment. I bring all three disciplines to every transformation, delivering end-to-end faster and cheaper.
Years of Engineering Experience
Faster with AI-Powered Dev
Modernization Expert
20+ years transforming production systems — from legacy monoliths to modern architectures. I know how to navigate the complexity of replacing what already exists while keeping the business running.
AI-Accelerated
AI and legacy modernization are a perfect match. Agentic AI excels at analyzing existing codebases and accelerating migrations — this is how I deliver transformations faster and cheaper.
Product Thinking
Modernization isn't just a technology swap. I rethink the product along the way — improving UX, streamlining workflows, and ensuring the new platform delivers more value than the old one.
Modern UX
Legacy systems often have dated, desktop-only interfaces. Every modernization I deliver includes a polished, mobile-first UX that feels modern from day one.
Lasting Partnerships
I don't modernize and disappear. I form long-term partnerships — supporting new features, maintenance, and growth. My longest client relationship spans 3+ years and counting.
Security-First
Legacy systems carry years of security debt. Every modernization I deliver addresses this head-on — auth, encryption, OWASP compliance built into the new platform from day one.
Transformation Results
Real-world legacy modernizations — from aging platforms to modern, maintainable systems.
AmateurGolf.com — Full Platform Modernization
Transformed a 20+ year-old ASP.NET Web Forms application — hosted on an on-prem server in a closet — into a modern Next.js 15 + React 19 frontend with a .NET 9 Clean Architecture backend, fully hosted in Azure. Reduced operating costs by 30% while dramatically improving performance, security, and user experience. Now serving as the sole software engineering partner for 2+ years and counting — supporting ongoing feature development, maintenance, and platform growth.

iGrad Texas — Graduation Planning Platform
Built from scratch a web-based graduation planning and endorsement exploration tool for Texas high school students navigating the state's new Foundation + Endorsement graduation requirements (HB5). As the sole developer, I designed and engineered the entire platform — from database architecture and interactive course selection wizards to an interest quiz and printable graduation plans. The platform was piloted with Alief ISD in Houston, later acquired by Texas OnCourse at the University of Texas at Austin, and continues today as MapMyGrad.org serving students statewide.

What Clients Say
Here's what people have to say about working with Evans Software Solutions.
"I discovered Robert while I was exploring how I could bring an idea to life. Wanting to build an educational platform to help young Texans understand and explore their high school graduation requirements, Robert was more than willing to ride through the unknown journey with me. Developing the platform depended on his exceptional expertise but also his effort and patience, especially working with a novice like myself. I'm grateful to him for not only his steadfast commitment to the project but his willingness to take the leap with me. Without Robert, we wouldn't have built something successful to serve millions of students statewide."
