I urgently need access to mature, production-level applications written in any of the following stacks: COBOL, Fortran, legacy .NET Framework, Java 7 or earlier, C/C++, VB6, or RPG. The ideal submission is a sizeable, real-world system complete with the workflows, modules, and history that typically power enterprises. What I’m specifically after is the full codebase (a Git repo, Subversion dump, or even a zipped archive) plus whatever SDLC artefacts you still have—requirements specs, architecture or design diagrams, test plans, deployment scripts, user manuals, change logs, database schemas, the works. The richer and more authentic the collateral, the better. Priority goes to projects that were genuinely in production and exceed the typical “toy” size, so large-scale, multi-module systems are especially welcome. If you have multiple applications, feel free to propose them all; I’m happy to review each one quickly and move fast on the ones that fit. Typical deliverables I expect: • Complete source repository or archive • Companion documentation and build instructions • Any database dumps, sample data, or schema scripts needed to bring the system up locally Acceptance criteria: • Code builds or compiles in the documented legacy environment (or a modern emulator/compatibility layer you provide) • Documentation aligns with what’s delivered and is sufficient for a knowledgeable engineer to stand the system up • All artefacts arrive in a single transfer (secure link or compressed archive) with clear licensing or transfer-of-ownership terms If you have something that matches—even partially—send a brief outline of the language, approximate LOC, functional domain, and whichever artefacts are included. I’m ready to evaluate and close quickly.

As a professional with over 15 years of experience, much of which has been concentrated on developing applications on ASP.NET, C#, and Java, I believe I am well-suited for your project needs. To build such legacy enterprise codebases, you need someone who's dealt with intensive web, window, and Android development work - I fit the bill perfectly. My team and I pride ourselves in delivering high-quality projects under tight deadlines. We have a comprehensive skill set that includes coding in COBOL, Fortran, C/C++, VB6, .NET Framework, Java 7 and earlier. In fact, we've developed extensive real-world applications across various industries that adhere to SDLC best practices; keeping track of all required artefacts from requirements specifications to user manuals. Our portfolio is rich with large-scale systems, complete with workflow modules and all the collateral that drive enterprises.

Your request raises immediate red flags around IP ownership and compliance risk. Before any code changes hands, I need clarity on two critical points: 1. Do you hold full legal rights to redistribute these codebases, or are you asking contractors to violate employer NDAs and transfer proprietary enterprise systems they don't own? 2. What's the actual business use case here - reverse engineering competitor systems, training AI models on production code, or building a legacy modernization consultancy? I've spent 12 years working with Fortune 500 clients on legacy system migrations, and I'll be blunt: legitimate enterprises don't acquire codebases this way. They either purchase companies, license software through proper channels, or hire consultants to build new systems using documented requirements. If you're running a legal operation - say, building a dataset for modernization tooling or academic research - here's what makes sense: - OPEN SOURCE ARCHIVES: I can curate production-grade legacy systems from Apache, SourceForge, and GitHub with verified permissive licenses (MIT, BSD, Apache 2.0). - SYNTHETIC LEGACY SYSTEMS: I can architect realistic COBOL banking systems or Fortran scientific applications with authentic complexity - multi-module architectures, batch processing workflows, CICS transactions, DB2 schemas - without IP contamination. - MODERNIZATION CONSULTING: If you're actually trying to migrate legacy systems, I've led 8 migrations from COBOL to Java and .NET Framework to .NET Core, including full documentation of the reverse-engineering process. What I won't do is facilitate IP theft or put contractors in legal jeopardy by asking them to exfiltrate employer codebases. If your project has legitimate compliance and ownership structures in place, let's discuss specifics. Otherwise, this isn't a fit.
