Production readiness for AI-built software

You built it with AI. I help you get it ready for real users.

Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable and Replit can get an app working. What they skip is the part that keeps it working once real people and real money depend on it.

I've spent 15 years building CI/CD and platform infrastructure, including eight at Apple. I find what could hurt you, rank it, and set things up so you can keep building fast without breaking production.

from a recent review

  • Mobile app builds pointed at the production databaseEvery test run touched real accounts
    High
  • The test robot wrote to productionAutomated tests created and changed live data
    High
  • AI spend capped per account, with no daily ceilingA loop or an abusive user could run up the bill
    Medium
  • Sign-in tokens stored in plaintext and sent in URLsReadable from logs and browser history
    Medium
  • 27 of 30 findings closed within 48 hoursSwitched to production on day 8
    Fixed

does this sound familiar?

  • Your test app and your live app share a database.
  • API keys live in the code, or in someone's chat history.
  • Your AI bill has no ceiling, and you'd learn about a runaway loop from the invoice.
  • Only you, or only your AI assistant, can build and deploy it.
  • An assistant could delete the project, and there's no history or backup to restore.
  • Fixing one thing keeps breaking another.
  • You don't know how you'd roll back a bad release.
  • You're not sure one customer can't see another's data.

None of this means the app is bad. It was built to prove the idea, and now it has to carry real users. That gap is what I close.

how it works

  1. Call

    30 minutes, free. What the app does, who uses it, and what worries you.

  2. Review

    About a week. Ranked findings with evidence and a suggested fix for each.

  3. Fix

    I fix the risky parts with you, or set things up so you and your AI tools can fix them safely.

  4. Stay covered

    Optional monthly check-ins, release reviews, and help when something breaks.
