The date moves again.
Each missed commitment produces another estimate instead of a dependable release.
Software Project Rescue
Your Software Project Is Going Sideways. We’ll Help You Find Out Why.
Codepoet helps business owners get control of software that is late, unstable, over budget, or stuck with a team they cannot confidently evaluate.
Founder and CEO Brian Brackeen personally reads the code, examines the architecture, looks at how the work is being managed, and talks to the people building it. Then you get a direct account of what is happening and what should happen next.
Led directly by a working software developer and business owner with roughly 30 years of programming experience.
The team is busy. The release date still keeps moving.
Talking replaces shipping.
The calendar is full, but completed work remains difficult to see or verify.
The estimate keeps growing.
Invoices and technical explanations expand faster than the product itself.
Sometimes the code is the problem. Sometimes the code is fine and the problem is ownership, priorities, or a development process nobody is managing. Often it is some combination of the two.
You should not have to guess which one it is.
Get the evidence before you replace the team or rewrite the system.
The assessment covers one important application: its codebase, architecture, deployment setup, issue history, documentation, and the way the work is being planned and delivered.
You receive a plain-English verdict, a prioritized risk list, a fix/refactor/rebuild recommendation, realistic cost bands, and a 30/60/90-day plan.
The report is yours. Your current team can use it. Another provider can use it. Codepoet can help afterward, but no follow-on contract is required.

Owner-side technical leadership Globe Contracting · MyPro Codepoet provides owner-side technical leadership and delivery oversight for MyPro. The work focuses on clearer priorities, accountability, and a consistent development cadence.
Experience earned inside production systems.

Rug Doctor
Brian personally built the original production version of ASRx, Rug Doctor’s native iOS field application. It supported representatives working across a retail footprint of more than 30,000 locations. Codepoet later added development capacity for extensions and ongoing work.

Compass Insurance & AgentNav
Brian wrote Compass Insurance’s React Native mobile application. A Codepoet developer built the Laravel API and COO Chaz Sherrill ran delivery. The relationship later grew into a revenue-sharing product partnership around AgentNav.
Long-Term Technical Stewardship.
Brian built the early Coffee Giant ecommerce system and iOS application himself. As Codepoet grew, he moved into technical leadership. The relationship continued through the move to Parks Coffee and a later acquisition.

Experience on both sides of a software budget.
Brian has spent roughly 30 years building software and more than 25 years running software businesses. He has written systems himself, taken over inherited applications, led developers and vendors, rebuilt delivery processes, and stayed with clients through years of technical and business change.
Troubled software is rarely just a programming problem. The code, people, process, budget, and business decision are tied together. A useful assessment has to look at all of them.
