Used AI tools like Lovable, Bolt, Replit, or Copilot to build an app fast? That is great for MVPs. It is also where many founders get stuck or exposed.
I help founders and small teams take vibe-coded apps the last mile to real production, focusing on:
<ul>
<li>
Security and data exposure risks
</li>
<li>
Scaling and performance issues
</li>
<li>
Cleanup of inconsistent AI-generated code
</li>
<li>
Making sure what you built is actually safe to sell
</li>
<li>
Avoiding &ldquo;it works until it doesn&rsquo;t&rdquo; disasters
</li>
</ul>
Most clients come to me after the app is already live and they are worried it might break, get hacked, or fall apart under real users.

If you are asking, &ldquo;Can I actually ship this?&rdquo;, that is exactly the problem I solve.&nbsp;
