Code Rescues are Never Anticipated.
Even with the best planning, some mobile projects fall behind, run aground, or simply become too unwieldy for an in-house team to complete. Either fully managed or as embedded resources, our rescue team turns around the most endangered projects and releases stable, accessible, and scalable mobile apps, on time and on-budget.
“We asked BiTE to pick up another vendor’s project. They audited the code and made corrections and improvements fast. They integrated seamlessly with our team as well as worked directly with our most important clients.”
Mike Feinberg
Vice President of Technology
“We inherited a mobile codebase riddled with errors and architectural problems. BiTE quickly stabilized the code and got us to launch.”
Joe Lindsay
Chief Technology Officer
“Other vendors left us with critical failures and enormous tech challenges. BiTE worked beautifully with our API team, and delivered on an incredibly tight deadline, on budget.”
Derek Swords
Director Of Product Development
Triage
Before a single line of new code is written, our technical architects perform a detailed analysis of the current codebase. We identify, prioritize, and document the discovered issues. Based on the available budget and timeline, we formulate a solution to address the most pressing issues first.
Reuse / Rebuild / Refactor
Reuse/Rebuild/Refactor
Armed with a clear path of success, we get to work on improving your app. We start by adding tests to pin down pieces of functionality we want to keep and explore areas that need more understanding, or exercise different code paths. With those guard rails in place, we move forward, building a clean, scalable, and structurally sound architecture. Whether we’re rebuilding sections of the app or refactoring existing code, the end goal is a firm foundation for continued development.
Ship
As experts dedicated to mobile we move fast without sacrificing quality. As soon as we’ve completed the crucial fix, we ship to the App Store and Google Play to get the app back into your customers’ hands.
What we hand back to your team is a clean, sustainable, scalable codebase ready for future improvements.
refactored, building safer, more stable code and a better
foundation for their next project. READ THE FULL STORY

BRANT DEBOW
Chief Technology Officer
“We were handed an app with zero analytics that needed a seasonal UI makeover. It had almost no documentation other than code. I had to jump in, figure out where everything was and then build in the analytics to tie into their backend. I enjoy the forensic puzzle aspect of rescue projects. Sure, they are not clean and they need a lot of work. But they can be interesting to untangle and you can really see the improvements as you’re making changes.”
JOSEPH FARRELL
Chief Product Officer
“A significant portion of our business are rescues. Development teams, processes and features and architecture that were right in the past can fail to scale for future growth. We have helped large brands redesign and rebuild to meet the growth and changing needs of their customers.”
ZEESHAN HAIDER
Director of Quality Assurance
“Validating a code rehab project can be challenging. More often than not, you have to understand the system in its current (usually outdated) state, and only then can you truly test for regression or new bugs that the refactor might’ve introduced. I have an eye for detail, and an impeccable ability to fully understand complex systems. I love taking on the unique challenges that come with a code rescue project.”
CARISSA SINCLAIR
Director of UX & Visual Design
“Supporting development on a rescue project usually means legacy graphics. Sometimes we may not have the raw files, so it requires a lot of photoshop magic to make adjustments to assets that might be outdated. During those times it’s always great to work with a client who is flexible in their updates and willing to make changes for the better.”
JOSH BRAUN
Director of Engineering
“Rescues are like mini-excavations. You’re almost always trying to piece together why certain decisions were made, and there are always hidden constraints - sometimes from the business unit, sometimes from the domain, sometimes from the tech. But they have to be uncovered. I love the feeling of taking a system that isn’t functioning and writing it, or taking one that needs significant refactoring and reorganizing it to become whole.”
