Keys and secrets in the wrong place
I look for API keys, database passwords, and admin keys that ship to the browser or sit in your code history. Anyone can open the browser tools and read what is sent to them.
Vibe-Coded App Rescue
Check your AI-built app before customers depend on it.
You built an app or site with Lovable, Bolt, Replit, v0, Cursor, or Claude Code. That is a real way to get started. Before customers, payments, or private data depend on it, I spend one week on a security and production readiness review of your vibe-coded app, then give you a written fix list. If you want, I make the fixes too.
01One focused week
02Your app, code, and accounts
03A ranked, written fix list
01 / WHAT I CHECK
The gaps a demo never shows.
Database access rules
I check who can read and change each table. For example, Supabase row-level security that is turned off, or rules so open that any visitor can list every customer.
Login and permission checks everywhere
Hiding a button is not the same as blocking access. I check that every page and every API route asks who you are and what you are allowed to see, so one customer cannot open another customer's records.
Payment webhooks
If you take payments, I check that messages from your payment provider are verified. For example, that Stripe webhook signatures are checked, so nobody can fake a paid order.
Backups you can actually restore
I check that backups exist, where they live, and whether anyone has tried restoring one. A backup nobody has restored is a guess.
Spending limits on AI and API keys
A bug, a loop, or someone abusing your app can run up an AI or API bill fast. I check for spending caps, usage alerts, and rate limits on the routes that cost you money.
Deploys and rollback
I check how changes reach your live app and whether you can quickly go back to the last working version when a change breaks something.
Someone understanding the code
I write a short map of how your app fits together: the pages, the database, the outside services, and where the important logic lives. That makes it possible for you, me, or another developer to maintain it.
Error tracking and logs
If something breaks at 2 a.m., will you know? I check for basic error tracking and logs, so problems show up for you before customers have to report them.
02 / WHAT YOU GET
A plain fix list, with the serious problems first.
I have 10+ years of experience across software, infrastructure, security, and AI. I find and fix the most common, most serious problems in AI-built apps, and I tell you plainly what is left. No review can promise an app is unhackable, and I will not pretend otherwise.
A ranked fix list
Each problem in plain words: what it is, why it matters for your business, how serious it is, and what fixing it takes.
A map of your app
A short guide to how the code, database, and outside services fit together, written so the next person can find their way.
What is fine and what is left
What already looks solid, so you do not spend money on it, and what I did not cover or could not check.
A live walkthrough
Time to go through the list together, ask questions, and decide what to fix now and what can wait.
I make the fixes
If you want, I fix the items on the list after the week, at a price we agree on first. Or you fix them yourself, with your AI tool or another developer.
03 / THE WEEK
One week, from the outside in.
I start where a stranger would: your live app. Then I look at the code, the database, and the accounts behind it.
Agree on the scope
We talk about what the app does, who uses it, and what is coming next. You share read access to the code and the accounts that matter.
Look from the outside
I use your live app like a customer and like a curious stranger: what the browser can see, which pages and routes answer without a login, and what the database gives away.
Look from the inside
I read the code and check the database rules, payments, backups, spending limits, deploys, and logs. I write the map of your app as I go.
Walk through the fix list
You get the written fix list and a live walkthrough. If you want me to make the fixes, we scope and price that before I start.
04 / FIT
For apps that started fast and now need to be dependable.
This is the step between a working prototype and something customers rely on.
The checkup fits when...
- You are about to take payments, store customer data, or open sign-ups to the public.
- You built the app with an AI tool and nobody on your side reads code day to day.
- You are not sure where your API keys live or who can see your database.
- A developer or freelancer built part of it and is no longer around to explain it.
- A customer, partner, or investor is asking whether the app is safe to use.
It may not fit when...
- The app is still a private prototype with no real users or data. Keep building first.
- You need a formal penetration test or a compliance sign-off like SOC 2, HIPAA, or PCI. This checkup is not a certification or a formal pen test.
- The app is large, with several teams and many services. That needs a longer review.
- You cannot share access to the code, the database, or the hosting accounts.
- You want a promise that the app can never be hacked. Nobody can honestly give you that.
The outcome
Know what is wrong, what is fine, and what to do first.
- 01Any serious problems found and ranked
- 02A clear fix for each one, by me or by you
- 03A map so the app can be maintained
- 04An honest list of what is left
05 / FAQ
Good questions, straight answers.
Do I need to rewrite my app?
Not as a first step. Problems like an exposed key, open database rules, or a missing permission check can be fixed in the code you already have. If part of the app really is too tangled to fix safely, I will say which part and why, and you decide.
Can I keep using Lovable, Bolt, Replit, or Cursor after?
Yes. These tools are a fast way to build and change an app, and you can keep using them. One tradeoff: an AI tool can rewrite or undo a fix when it regenerates nearby code. So the fix list ends with a short set of things to re-check after big changes.
What does the checkup cost?
It depends on the size of the app and how many services it connects to. We agree on the scope and price before work starts. If I make the fixes afterward, that is priced separately, also before I start. There is no public price list.
How long does it take?
The checkup is one focused week for a typical small app. Fixes depend on what we find. Some serious items are small changes, like replacing an exposed key and moving it to the server. Others, like adding login checks to every route, take longer. The fix list says roughly how big each one is.
What if my app is already fine?
Then you get that answer in writing, with what I checked and what looked solid. That is useful too: you can show it to a customer or partner, and you know where not to spend money.
Will my app be secure after this?
I will not promise that, and you should be careful with anyone who does. I find and fix the most common, most serious problems in AI-built apps and tell you what is left. That is a big step, not a guarantee.
Do you sign an NDA, and how do you handle my data?
Yes, I am happy to sign your NDA. I ask for the least access the work needs, read-only where possible, and I avoid copying customer data. When the week is over, you remove my access and I delete anything I kept.
I am not technical. Can I still do this?
Yes. That is who this is for. The fix list is written in plain words, and the walkthrough is time for you to ask anything. You do not need to know what row-level security means before we start.
Can you work with a remote or Tampa-area business?
Yes. I work remotely and can meet Tampa-area owners in person when it helps. I work in English and Spanish.
Start with the part that worries you
Tell me what you built and what is coming next.
Bring the app, the tool you built it with, and the thing that worries you most: payments, customer data, a surprise bill, or a launch date. We will talk through whether a checkup, a single fix, or waiting makes sense.
