Your AI built the MVP.
I make it production-ready.
Your AI-built app has CORS errors, breaks in production, leaks user data, and can't scale past 10 users. I've seen it hundreds of times. I take over your AI-generated codebase and ship it as a real product — secure, scalable, maintainable.
AI builds great prototypes.
But production is a different game.
Cursor, Claude, Copilot — they can generate a working app in hours. But then what?
Security is fiction
AI-generated apps have no privacy rules. Every user can see every other user's data. Most founders don't discover this until something embarrassing happens.
Flat databases
Customer name, email, and phone stored directly on every order instead of linked to a Users table. Works fine with 10 test records. Falls apart with real traffic.
The iteration loop
You ask AI to fix a bug. It fixes one thing but breaks two others. Next iteration — even worse. AI doesn't understand your app's architecture as a whole.
No backend logic
Everything runs client-side. App feels slow, business logic is exposed to the browser, and anything beyond a demo breaks.
The CORS cascade
You tell AI to fix CORS — it rewrites your server code, breaks imports, DB selects, and response shapes. The fix is centralizing CORS in a small helper, not letting AI touch server code.
The 90% myth
You see a 90% solution to a complex problem and think it's 90% of the work. It's at best 50%. Probably less. The last 10% is where real engineering begins.
What actually changes during the rescue
A prototype isn't a small production app — it's missing the pieces that make production work at all. Here's the shape of the transformation.
Prototype
- Single-file codebase
- Managed hosting only
- No CI/CD, no tests
- Unknown security surface
Audit
- OWASP Top 10 pass
- Infra + data-model review
- Concrete remediation list
- Time + cost estimate
Rescue
- Security hardening
- CI/CD + automated tests
- Monitoring + backups
- Handoff documentation
Production
- Automated deploys
- 24/7 error & performance alerts
- Scalable, documented infra
- Ready for the next engineer
This happens every day
Real stories from the trenches — from developers who lived through it.
I let an AI builder "fix CORS." It rewrote my server code, broke imports, DB selects, and response shapes. Three days to undo what AI did in seconds.
My coworker pumps out AI-generated code that's 90% correct. Management loves his velocity. They call me when they need something right. A 90% solution to a complex problem is at best 50% of the work.
I asked for 2 weeks to implement RBAC on an app with literally zero permissions. They said "the AI guy says he can do it in 1-2 days." They gave me the day before production release.
I asked AI to add a database. It BROKE EVERYTHING trying to refactor. Too many files, too much context. Once I actually understood how my app worked, my prompts improved and AI's responses instantly improved.
From handover to production in 4 steps
A transparent process with no surprises. You know what's happening at every stage.
Code & Infrastructure Audit
I analyze your codebase: architecture, security, performance, code quality. You get a report with concrete recommendations and a quote.
Plan & Roadmap
I set priorities: what to fix first, what can wait. I create a technical roadmap tailored to your budget and business goals.
Refactoring & Deployment
I fix critical issues, refactor the architecture, set up CI/CD, monitoring, and cloud infrastructure. Everything with tests.
Support & Growth
Your app is live in production. I monitor, respond to issues, and develop new features. Clear communication and transparent billing.
Battle-tested production stack
I don't experiment on your product. I use technologies I've mastered over the years.
Is this you?
These are real problems my clients come to me with. If even one sounds familiar — I can help.
Setting up a domain, DNS, SSL certificate, and production server is something AI tools won't do for you. I'll move your app to a proper server (VPS, AWS, Vercel) with correct HTTPS configuration, set up DNS records, and make everything work under your own address — professionally and securely.
Manually uploading files to a server is a recipe for disaster. I'll set up a CI/CD pipeline: push to repo → automatic tests → deploy to production. GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket Pipelines — I've worked with all of them. Every code change will be automatically tested and deployed without your intervention.
Supabase Storage is fine to start with, but as file count and traffic grow, it quickly becomes expensive or slow. I'll migrate your files to AWS S3 with CloudFront CDN — cheaper, faster, with full control over retention, backups, and permissions. The migration is planned for zero downtime and verified against data loss.
Supabase Edge Functions have execution time limits and cold starts that kill performance. Depending on your needs, I'll move your backend to AWS Lambda (serverless, pay per use), ECS Fargate (Docker containers, full control), or a dedicated VPS (Hetzner, lowest cost). We'll pick the right solution for your budget and scale.
Classic problem: you ask AI to fix a bug, it fixes one thing but breaks two others. Next iteration — even worse. This happens because AI doesn't understand your app's architecture as a whole. I'll review the code, identify root causes, and refactor critical parts so that future changes (whether by AI or manually) don't trigger a cascade of bugs.
Flickering usually means excessive React re-renders — AI generates code that re-renders the entire UI on every minor state change. Slow loading means no code-splitting, unoptimized images, and no caching. I'll profile your app, fix rendering issues, add lazy loading, optimize the bundle, and configure a CDN. Result: an app that responds the way users expect.
AI can generate a basic Stripe form, but secure webhook handling, subscriptions, invoices, refunds, and compliance are a different story. I integrate payment systems end-to-end — with error handling, transaction retries, and tests, so you don't lose customer money due to bugs.
Supabase Auth, NextAuth, Firebase Auth — AI wires these up quickly, but then sessions expire randomly, OAuth doesn't redirect properly, and tokens don't refresh. I'll fix the auth configuration, secure your endpoints, set up proper row-level security policies, and make login work the way it should.
AI doesn't think about indexes, relations, and query optimization. I'll analyze your schema, add missing indexes, fix N+1 queries, set up connection pooling, and migrate to a better-suited engine if needed (PostgreSQL, MySQL). Queries that took seconds often drop to tens of milliseconds once indexes and joins are right.
AI-generated code is virtually undocumented. If you have a dev team (or plan to build one), they need docs: API reference, architecture overview, data flow diagrams, deployment instructions. I'll prepare complete technical documentation that lets any new developer understand the project in hours, not weeks.
You don't have to hand over the entire project. I can work as a technical consultant — reviewing your team's code quality, setting technical priorities, helping with architectural decisions, and translating tech speak into business language. Ideal when you already have developers but lack a senior who says "this is how it should be done."
Classic AI-generated code issues: no error handling, undefined variables, misconfigured CORS headers. These aren't hard problems, but they require someone who can read stack traces and server logs. I'll diagnose the root cause, fix it, and — more importantly — add global error handling so next time users see a clear message instead of a white screen.
Environment variables, database config, ports, production builds — deployment is a discipline AI hasn't mastered. I'll configure the full production environment: server, database, env variables, build process, monitoring, and alerts. Your app will run reliably 24/7, not just on your laptop.
AI-generated code rarely considers SQL injection, XSS, missing input validation, or exposed API endpoints. I'll run a security audit using OWASP methodology, secure your endpoints, configure HTTPS, set proper security headers, and ensure personal data is processed in compliance with GDPR.
Default email config from Supabase or Resend isn't enough for production. I'll set up a custom sending domain with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records, choose the right service (Amazon SES, Postmark, Resend), and configure transactional templates. That's what gets your emails into inboxes instead of spam folders.
If your only copy of the database is the one on Supabase — you have a problem. I'll set up automated database backups (daily, with retention), file backups on S3, and a disaster recovery procedure. When something goes wrong, restoring your data should take minutes, not days.
