Database Migration Silently Fails, Schema Mismatch
A new database migration file was created but didn't execute when starting the application. The database schema remains out of sync with the application code, causing runtime errors when trying to access new columns or tables.
This occurs when migration tools (Flyway, Liquibase) don't detect the new file, have incorrect naming conventions, or encounter permission issues during execution.
Error Messages You Might See
Migration failed: syntax error in SQL migration
Column 'new_field' doesn't exist
Table migration_history is locked
Cannot execute DDL statements
Common Causes
- Migration file not in correct directory (e.g., db/migration/ vs db/migrations/)
- Migration filename doesn't follow version naming convention (V001__ vs V1__)
- Migration has syntax errors that are caught but not reported until runtime
- Database user lacks DDL permissions to create tables/columns
- Migration previously failed, blocking subsequent migrations from running
How to Fix It
Verify migration files are in src/main/resources/db/migration/. Use correct Flyway naming: VX__description.sql. Check database user permissions with CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE. Review migration logs in the database metadata table. Use 'repair' command carefully only after fixing failed migrations.

I am a Strategic Engineering Leader with over 8 years of experience building high-availability enterprise systems and scaling high-performing technical teams. My focus is on bridging the gap between complex technology and business growth.
Core Expertise:
š Leadership: Managing and coaching teams of 15+ engineers, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
šļø Architecture: Enterprise Core Systems, Multi-system Integration (ERP/API/ETL), and Core Database Structure.
āļø Cloud & Scale: AWS Expert; architected systems handling 10B+ monthly requests and managing 100k+ SKUs.
š Business Impact: Aligning tech strategy with P&L goals to drive $70k+ in monthly recurring revenue.
I thrive on "out-of-the-box" thinking to solve complex technical bottlenecks and am always looking for ways to use automation to improve business productivity.

Iāve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decadeāfrom the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing.
My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream.
What I bring to your project:
Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causesālike significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins.
Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams.
Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last.

15+ years shipping production infrastructure for startups. Former CTO at qed.builders (acquired by The Sandbox).
Cursor ambassador and agentic tooling builder.
I've scaled systems, automated deployments, and built observability tools for AI coding workflows. I specialize in taking vibe-coded apps from broken prototype to production-ready: fixing Supabase auth/RLS, Stripe integrations, deployment pipelines, and cleaning up AI-generated spaghetti.
I build tools in this space (agentprobe, claudebin, micode) and understand both sides: how AI generates code and why it breaks.

Jacek Rozanski
Senior PHP/Symfony developer and DevOps engineer with 20+ years of professional experience, running opcode.pl (web development agency, est. 2004).
Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month.
What I bring to AI-built apps:
- I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0
- I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture)
- I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting
- I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth
Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code.
Based in Poland (CET timezone). Available for async work and calls during EU/US business hours.

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
What's the correct migration file naming?
Use Flyway convention: V<version>__<description>.sql (e.g., V2__add_user_profile.sql). Versions must be unique and increasing.
How to recover from failed migrations?
Check the migration history table. Create a new migration (V3__fix_previous_error.sql) to correct the issue. Never modify old migrations.
Why does development still work but production fails?
Dev might auto-recreate schema, production uses existing schema. Always test migrations on a copy of production data.
