You built an app with AI. Now it has to stand up to real scrutiny.
Maybe your app handles protected client data: health, financial, or legal. Maybe a new customer or investor is suddenly asking where your data lives and who can access it. Either way, “it works in the browser” won’t cut it. I take what you built in Lovable, Replit, Bolt, Cursor, or Perplexity and get it live, secure, and ready for real users, on cloud infrastructure you own and control.
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’re usually in one of two spots.
Either you’re in a field with real rules to follow. You’re a therapist, advisor, accountant, or attorney, and your app handles records that have to be protected.
Or you’ve got a deal on the line, and a customer or investor just asked where your data lives and who can get to it.
Either way, your app has to hold up when someone looks closely, not just work in a demo. That’s the part I take off your plate.
The gap AI tools don't fill - Built something with AI? Here's where most people get stuck.
AI tools now let almost anyone build a working application. Most builders hit the same wall. It has nothing to do with the code.
Your app isn’t secured
By default, apps built with AI tools often leave doors open: exposed credentials, no rate limiting, and settings that work fine in testing but create real risk in production. That’s the first thing a customer security review will find.
Anyone could log in as anyone
Authentication in a demo is easy. Authentication that holds up when a regulator or auditor is checking who can access what is a different problem entirely.
You don’t control the infrastructure
If your app lives on a platform someone else controls, you’re one billing issue or policy change away from it disappearing. Real control means running it in an account you hold and understand, and knowing exactly where your data lives when someone asks.
Your field has rules your app has to meet
If your app touches health records, financial data, or legal matters, it isn’t just a website. It’s subject to real requirements, and increasingly to customers and investors who’ll ask how you meet them. AI tools don’t know those rules exist. I do, and I build with them in mind from the start.
Getting it live is harder than it looks
Clicking “deploy” in an AI tool is not the same as running an app that real customers can rely on. Most AI builders don’t tell you that.
AI can build the app. It can’t tell you what it will cost to run, whether your customers’ data is safe, or whether it’ll hold up when someone looks closely. Those answers depend on your business, not just your code, and they take a person who understands both.
Services - From your first build to ongoing support. I handle the technical side.
Whether you’re stuck mid-build, getting your app live for the first time, or keeping it running as you grow, I offer focused, hands-on help.
Live help while you build
One-on-one sessions
From $150 per session
Building with an AI tool like Replit, Bolt, Lovable, Cursor, or Perplexity and hit a wall? On a live, one-on-one video call, I sit alongside you and help you work through whatever has you stuck. You get straight answers in plain English and a clear path forward.
- A live screen-share where I guide you as you build, not after
- Help writing better prompts so your AI tools give you what you actually want
- Plain-English answers to the technical questions slowing you down
- Book a single session or a block, whenever you hit a wall

Secure Cloud Deployment
Starting at $1,500
I take your app and move it onto the right cloud platform: properly configured, secured, and set up to stay running. You’ll end up with an app that’s yours, hosted on infrastructure you control, with clear documentation so you or your team can manage it going forward.
- Your app reviewed for security issues before anything goes live
- Cloud environment set up correctly from the start, not patched together later
- Login and access controls configured so only the right people get in
- Configured to support your compliance obligations and stand up to a customer security review
- Automated deployments so future updates go live without manual steps
- Written handoff documentation your team can actually use. See example →

Once I deploy your app, I don’t disappear. I keep your live app healthy, secure, and up to date: monitoring, updates, the occasional change, and infrastructure that stays cost-efficient as you grow. You have someone who already knows your system when you need a hand.
- Your live app kept secure and up to date
- Small changes and improvements to the app I deployed
- Performance and reliability watched as real usage grows
- Regular cloud cost and infrastructure reviews so you're not overpaying
How getting your app online works - Simple, clear, no surprises.
Here’s exactly what happens when I deploy your app. Four steps from “I built something” to “it’s live and secured.”
Tell me about your app
Send me a quick message about what you’ve built, what tool you used, and where you’re stuck. No technical detail required.
I review what you have
I look at your app, identify what needs to happen before it can go live safely, and give you a plain-English summary of the work involved.
I get it deployed and secured
I handle the technical work: setting up your cloud environment, securing your app, and configuring access. I’ll keep you updated throughout.
You get the keys
I hand off clear documentation and walk you through what was done, so you’re in control of your own app.
Proof point - What this looks like in practice.
A small business owner came to me with an app they’d built using an AI coding tool. It worked, but it wasn’t ready for the questions that come with real customers. I reviewed the codebase end to end, flagged the security gaps, and rebuilt the deployment with proper access controls and authentication built to hold up under review, not just in a demo. When the work was done, I handed over documentation that let the owner’s own team take over day-to-day management without needing to call me for every question.
I finally feel like I actually own my app.
Already have an app, a codebase, or something to build?
Deployment is what I focus on, but it’s not all I do. I also take on general software development: new builds, new features on an app you already have, modernizing older code, and cross-platform mobile apps with .NET MAUI.
