Written by a real person. A bit ironic, considering building with AI is my whole job. But every word here is mine, and every message you get from me will be too. If I ever send you something that sounds like AI wrote it, honestly, fire me. I take vibe-coded apps to production. I build full-stack apps and MVPs, and when a Lovable, Bolt, Base44, or Replit build looks finished but isn't, I find out what's actually holding together and what only looks like it works, then get it production-ready. WHAT USUALLY TURNS UP Friend or user records that don't match because two tables fell out of sync. Leaderboards or dashboards pulling stale cached data instead of live values. Stripe payment distribution that behaves fine in testing and unpredictably under real usage. Authentication and email-verification flows that work on the first try and fail on the second. Role-based routing that lets the wrong user see the wrong screen. None of this shows up in a demo. All of it shows up the week real users arrive. START WITH AN AUDIT: $150, 2-3 days You give me access. You get a plain-language report: what's actually broken, what's just unfamiliar-looking but fine, and what it'll cost to fix. No obligation to hire me for the fixes afterward, the report is yours either way. THEN, IF YOU WANT IT FIXED I trace the broken connections instead of defaulting to a rebuild, unless a rebuild is genuinely the faster path. You get working authentication, correct data sync, real payment logic, and an API layer that holds under real traffic, not just the demo path. RECENT WORK A React + Base44 app with real users but unreliable core features. I found the relational syncing bug causing mismatched friend/user records, fixed the leaderboard pulling stale cached values, resolved desynced avatars and usernames across views, and hardened the Stripe-based payment distribution logic. No rebuild, the architecture was sound, it needed the broken connections traced and repaired. A production iOS build on React Native + Replit AI hitting a white screen in TestFlight while passing locally. Isolated the failure to the build pipeline, not the app logic, and shipped a stable production build. A Base44 migration-readiness audit, reviewed source code, dependencies, breaking changes, Stripe billing integrity, and data integrity risk before the client committed to migrating platforms. An AI-powered finance platform on Base44 with live Plaid banking data, Stripe payments, QuickBooks sync, and Auth0 identity management, built for real financial data, not a demo. ALSO MVP builds from scratch, idea to live product taking real users and real payments. AI apps and agents via the OpenAI API, chatbots and workflow automation. Migrations off Lovable, Bolt, Base44, or Replit when a client wants to move on. Supabase and Firebase auth, database structure, and API design. Stripe checkout, webhooks, and subscription logic. Internal dashboards and admin tools replacing spreadsheets. Stack: Lovable, Bolt.new, Base44, Replit, React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Firebase, Stripe, Supabase, AWS, Vercel, OpenAI API. WHY I CATCH WHAT THE DEMO DOESN'T Master's degree in Computer Science. 21 completed Upwork projects, 90% Job Success Score, and clients consistently rate me Clear Communicator and Committed to Quality. Fluent in English, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, plus conversational French and German, so language isn't a barrier with European or Latin American founders. I read every file before I touch anything, so I know what's actually broken versus just unfamiliar, and I document findings as I go. WAYS TO WORK Audit: $150 fixed. Fixed-price build or rescue: typically $300-$1,500 depending on scope, sized honestly upfront. Hourly: $25-30/hr for ongoing or open-scope work. Send me what you're building or what's not working. I'll come back with real questions and a straight answer on scope, timeline, and cost, usually within a few hours.
