Built something with AI, Cursor, Lovable, Replit, or a contractor — and now it has to actually work, deploy, and hold up? I’m Eric, a developer in South Bend. I get AI-built prototypes over the finish line to production.
AI is great at getting to a demo. Getting from a demo to something you can deploy, trust, and sell is a different job.
A senior engineer who works this way every week — not a rewrite for its own sake, just what it takes to make it dependable.
I start by running the app and reading the code — architecture, deployment, security, the database, the parts held together with hope. You get a prioritized, plain-English plan of what’s risky and what to do first.
From there I stabilize the codebase, add tests where they matter, set up deployment, CI, backups, logging, and monitoring, clean up secrets and config, fix the schema issues, and document how it all works — so it’s something you can demo, sell, or hand to a new engineer.
A prototype turned into software you can actually deploy, trust, and keep building on — without the original builder in the room.
“The app worked in the builder’s preview, but it wouldn’t deploy, the login was wide open, and the database wiped itself every restart. The person who vibe-coded it had moved on.”
→ Deployed with real auth, a durable database, and backups. Demo-ready in under two weeks — handoff docs included.
Most people start with the fixed-price rescue audit and decide from there — no lock-in either way.
Book a time, show me what you’ve got, and get back a clear plan to make it real — whether you run with it yourself or have me build it.
