You built an app with AI. Now a customer wants to know it’s safe.
Maybe your app handles protected client records: health, financial, or legal. Maybe a customer or an investor has just asked where your data is kept and who can get to it. Working on your computer is not the same as answering that question. I take what you built in Lovable, Replit, Bolt, Cursor, or Perplexity and get it online, secured, and ready for real customers, on cloud accounts in your name.
Still building? I also offer one-on-one sessions and ongoing support.
Who I help - How I can help
Most people I work with built their app with an AI tool. They usually arrive for one of two reasons.
Either you work in a field with rules about handling client records. You are a therapist, an advisor, an accountant, or an attorney, and the information your app holds is the kind the law protects.
Or you have a deal on the line, and a customer or an investor has just asked where your data is kept and who can reach it.
Either way, your app now has to survive someone checking it properly, not just work when you show it to people. That part is what I do.
What AI tools leave you to solve - Built something with AI? Here's where most people get stuck.
AI tools now let almost anyone build a working application. Nearly everyone gets stuck at the same point, and it is rarely the code that stops them.
Your app isn’t secured
Apps built this way commonly ship with passwords written into the code, no limit on how fast someone can guess at your sign-in page, and settings that are fine while you are testing and dangerous once real customers are using it. These are the first things a customer’s security review looks for.
Anyone could log in as anyone
Getting a sign-in page working is easy. Making sure each person can only ever reach their own records, and being able to prove it to a regulator, is a much harder job that AI tools rarely finish.
You don’t control the infrastructure
If your app runs on the AI tool’s own hosting, a pricing change or a closed account can take it offline and you have no say. Running it on cloud accounts in your name means the app, the data, and the bill are yours, and you can answer where your data is kept.
Your field has rules your app has to meet
If your app touches health records, financial data, or legal matters, it is not just a website. There are technical rules it has to meet, and customers and investors increasingly ask how you meet them. An AI tool has no idea those rules apply to you. I build with them in mind from the start.
Getting it live is harder than it looks
Pressing “deploy” in an AI tool puts something on the internet. It does not give you backups, a way to undo a bad change, or any warning when the app stops working. Those are separate jobs, and the tool will not mention them.
AI can build the app. It cannot tell you what it will cost to run each month, whether your customers’ data is safe, or what happens the day it goes down. Those answers depend on your business, not only on your code.
Services - From your first build to ongoing support.
Stuck part-way through building, getting your app online for the first time, or keeping it running as you grow. Three ways to work together, priced up front.
Live help while you build
One-on-one sessions
From $150 per session
Building with Lovable, Replit, Bolt, Cursor, or Perplexity and stuck on something? We get on a video call, share your screen, and work through it together. You get straight answers in plain English and know what to do next.
- A live screen-share where I guide you as you build, not after
- Help asking your AI tool for what you actually meant, so it stops guessing
- Plain-English answers to the technical questions slowing you down
- Book one session, or several, whenever you need them
Secure Cloud Deployment
Get your app online
Starting at $1,500
I move your app onto proper cloud hosting: set up correctly, secured, backed up, and watched so you hear about problems before your customers do. It runs on accounts in your name, with written documentation so you or anyone you hire can take it from there.
- Your app reviewed for security issues before anything goes live
- Everything your app runs on built in one go, and written down, so it can be rebuilt exactly if it ever has to be
- Login and access controls configured so only the right people get in
- Built to meet the technical rules your field imposes, and to answer a customer’s security review
- Future updates go live by themselves, so a change never depends on someone remembering the right steps
- A written handover covering every account, password, and security setting. See example →
Keep your app running
Ongoing support

Keeping a live app healthy is its own job: security updates, the occasional change, watching that it stays up, and making sure the hosting bill still matches what you actually use. I already know how your app is put together, so none of it starts from scratch.
- Your live app kept secure and up to date
- Small changes and improvements to the app I deployed
- Checked every day that it is up and responding, so you hear about a problem before your customers do
- A regular look at your hosting bill, so you are not paying for capacity you never use
Compliance readiness - In a regulated field? Your app has rules to meet.
If your app handles protected data, there are technical rules it has to meet before customers, partners, or auditors will trust it. This picks up where a Secure Cloud Deployment finishes.
Make your app compliance-ready
Regulated-data readiness
Contact for a quote
Your field has technical rules for handling protected data: HIPAA for health records, the FTC Safeguards Rule for financial and tax data, and their equivalents elsewhere. I get your app ready to meet them, then hand you a written record of exactly what was done, so you can show it to whoever asks.
- A written check of your app against the technical rules your field has to meet
- Your data scrambled so it is unreadable if taken, both where it is stored and while it travels
- A second step at sign-in for your staff, and access limited to what each person actually needs
- A record of who accessed what, daily checks, and backups that have actually been restored to prove they work
- A written guide your team can follow, evidence of the work, and a plain list of what stays your responsibility
How getting your app online works - Simple, clear, no surprises.
Four steps from your first message to a live, secured app. The paid work is the last two, delivered as three milestones you approve one at a time.
Tell me about your app
Send me a message about what you’ve built, which tool you used, and what you need. You don’t need to know any technical detail to answer.
I review what you have
I look at your app and tell you what has to happen before it can go online safely, what it will cost, and how long it will take. In writing, in plain language.
I get it deployed and secured
I build the hosting, secure the app, and set up who can get in. You see it working on a private test address and approve it before anything goes live.
You get the keys
Your app goes live, and I hand over written documentation of every account, password, and security setting, plus a walkthrough of what was done.
A recent project - What this looks like in practice.
A small business owner came to me with an app they had built with an AI coding tool. It worked, but it was not ready for the questions that arrive with real customers. I read through all of it, told them what I found, and rebuilt how it runs: who can sign in, what each person can reach, and where the data sits. When it was done I handed over documentation their own team could work from, without calling me for every question.
I finally feel like I actually own my app.
Already have an app, or something you want built?
Getting apps online is most of what I do, but not all of it. I also build software from scratch, add features to an app you already have, bring older code up to date, and build mobile apps that run on both iPhone and Android.
I also build and run my own apps
Alongside client work I build and run my own apps. If one of them sent you here looking for support, you’re in the right place.
