How it started

I’ve been a software developer for over half of my life, working at companies of all sizes, from startups to Google. One thing they all had in common: technical debt.

At Google, we migrated the DevTools codebase from JavaScript to TypeScript, dealing with nearly 20 years of legacy code. I spent countless nights understanding and modernizing old code, wondering why the process was so complex and inefficient. I started automating parts of the process, which helped, but tools were still limited.

Later, at another job, I faced a similar challenge in a 15-year-old project. Once again, I focused on cleaning up technical debt. When ChatGPT emerged, it made the task easier by generating code improvements, but the process was still time-consuming.

Over time, I refined my approach, and that’s when I realized this solution could benefit others. I founded qodev to help companies automatically manage technical debt with AI, improving code quality and freeing developers to focus on higher-value tasks.

Since then, we’ve received valuable feedback from early testers and customers, continuously improving our AI. Today, it reliably generates changes that are used in production systems, helping businesses tackle technical debt proactively and efficiently.
