A platform outgrowing
its foundation
MayQR had thousands of monthly users generating and managing QR codes, but the WordPress monolith was buckling under technical debt. The platform needed a ground-up modernization to scale and stay secure.
Stale Codebase
Not updated in over a year. 8,600+ line PHP files with no modularization or documentation.
Security Gaps
Hardcoded credentials scattered across multiple files. No environment-based configuration.
No Test Coverage
Zero automated tests. No CI/CD pipeline. Manual deployment via FTP with no rollback strategy.
Dated Interface
Legacy WordPress UI that didn't reflect the product's capabilities. Poor mobile experience.
Full-stack modernization,
zero downtime
We decoupled the frontend from WordPress, built a purpose-built API layer, and deployed to the edge — all while keeping the live platform running for existing users.
Headless Frontend
Migrated from monolithic WordPress to a new Next.js 16 frontend with React 19, Tailwind CSS 4, and Motion animations. Server components for performance, client interactivity where it matters.
Custom REST API
Built mayqr-core, a custom WordPress plugin exposing 17 REST API endpoints. Same backend powers both the web dashboard and the iOS app.
Edge Infrastructure
Deployed the Next.js frontend to Cloudflare Pages with a Cloudflare Worker handling QR scan redirects at the edge for sub-50ms response times.
Automated Testing
Created a Python REST API test suite validating all 17 endpoints plus Playwright browser tests for critical user flows.
Security Hardening
Extracted every hardcoded credential into wp-config.php constants. Environment-based configuration across 3 WP Engine environments.
Repository Cleanup
Removed 140MB of junk files, unused dependencies, and dead code. Reorganized project structure with proper .gitignore rules.
