Documentation & System Handover

Good documentation outlives any single developer. I provide clear, concise documentation for the systems I build and modernise so that they can be understood and maintained in the future – whether by me, your internal team or another supplier.

What I document

  • High-level architecture: how the main components and services fit together
  • Database structure: key tables, relationships and important stored procedures
  • APIs and integrations with third-party services
  • Deployment and hosting details, including any scheduled tasks
  • Configuration and environment-specific settings
  • Common maintenance tasks and troubleshooting steps

Handover and continuity

  • Structured handover sessions or walkthroughs for your team
  • Recorded demos or screen-shares if helpful for future reference
  • Support during the early weeks after a go-live or major change
  • Optional source code escrow to further reduce key-person dependency

Need your current system documented?

If you already rely on a bespoke system that isn’t well documented, I can reverse-engineer the essentials and produce practical documentation to reduce risk and make future changes safer.
