Senior Engineer: Fix, Secure & Scale AI-Built Web & Mobile Apps
Built your app with Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, Replit, v0 or ChatGPT, and now it's buggy, slow, insecure, or getting expensive to run? I'm a senior software architect with 12+ years of experience fixing, securing, and scaling AI-built web and mobile apps so they work reliably for real users. AI coding tools are great for getting a product launched. But the code they produce usually isn't built for what comes next: more users, real payments, sensitive data, and rising cloud bills. That's where I come in. I take the time to understand your existing codebase first, then improve it step by step, without throwing away what already works. WHAT I DO AI-Built App Audit. A full review of your code, architecture, database, security, and hosting, with a clear, prioritized plan in plain English. Fix & Stabilize. Resolve bugs, crashes, broken logins, failed payments, and integrations that stopped working. Cost-Effective Architecture. Redesign your backend and cloud setup so it handles growth without runaway costs: right-sized servers, efficient databases, caching, and smarter AI and API usage. Scaling & Performance. Make slow apps fast and keep them reliable under heavy traffic. Security & Compliance. Secure authentication, protect user data, fix exposed keys and vulnerabilities, and put proper access controls, logging, and backups in place. Ongoing Maintenance. Monthly support so your app keeps running while you focus on your business. EXPERIENCE THAT MATTERS FOR YOUR APP Web apps & SaaS: React, Node.js, Python, MERN, multi-tenant SaaS platforms Mobile apps: React Native for iOS and Android Cloud infrastructure: AWS (Lambda, ECS, EC2, DynamoDB), Azure, Docker, CI/CD AI agents & automation: OpenAI-powered agents and chatbots, n8n, Make, Zapier High-volume messaging: WhatsApp Cloud API, Twilio SMS, and messaging gateways built to deliver reliably at scale Compliance: GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, A2P 10DLC I lead a team of developers and QA engineers, and we build and maintain a live, revenue-generating SaaS product. When your app needs more than one pair of hands, the capacity is already there. HOW I WORK Understand. I read your code and learn how your business uses the app. Plan. You get a clear list of issues, risks, and recommendations, ranked by impact and cost. Fix. I make changes in small, tested steps so nothing breaks along the way. Hand over. You keep full ownership of your code, with documentation explaining what changed and why. Tell me what your app does and what's going wrong. I'll give you an honest assessment of what it needs, even if the answer is that it only needs a small fix.
