AI consultant for agents and apps that survive production.

I rescue vibe-coded apps in production, and I embed on AI systems that have to survive real users.

Senior engineer, 24 years building software. I build tools and take on consulting.

How we work

Vibe-coded app rescue and forward-deployed engineering.

Not slide decks. Not AI strategy theater. Fixed-scope rescue as the entry, embedded FDE when you want me shipping inside the team.

Entry

Vibe-coded app rescue

€3,000 fixed · about 5 business days after access

Your app is already in production. I review architecture, security, data model, bottlenecks, and costs. You leave with a prioritized fix list and a short walkthrough call.

  • Architecture, security, data model, bottlenecks, costs
  • Prioritized fix list you can act on without me
  • Walkthrough call to go through findings
  • Typical timeline: about 5 business days after access

Vibe-coded apps are hitting production problems. 24 years means I spot the mistakes and bottlenecks fast.

Main

Embedded AI / agentic FDE

Usually from about €5,000

I join your team on AI and agentic work and ship. Agents, MCP, LLM infrastructure, evals, the boring production path. The rescue often feeds into this.

  • Inside your repo, your constraints, your change control
  • Ship working systems, not decks
  • Part-time engagements; weekly commitment agreed up front
Intro call
Rescue scope

What a vibe coding rescue covers. What you get.

I review

  • Architecture: what will break under the next feature
  • Security: auth, secrets, tenancy, attack surface
  • Data model: integrity, migrations, query pain
  • Bottlenecks: the slow paths users already feel
  • Costs: cloud bills that will not survive scale

You leave with

  • A prioritized fix list, ranked by risk and leverage
  • A short walkthrough call on the findings
  • Clarity on what to fix first vs later
  • An honest read on whether embedded work is next
