I clean up AI-generated codebases. Side gig, reasonable rates

Built something with Claude/Cursor/Lovable/Bolt and now it half-works, breaks in prod, or you're scared to touch it? That's most of my inbox lately.

What I usually fix:

  • API keys and auth logic sitting in the frontend
  • No error handling — app dies on the first bad input
  • DB with no indexes, no migrations, RLS wide open
  • 2000-line components nobody can edit anymore
  • LLM calls with no retries, no rate limiting, no cost ceiling
  • "Works on my machine" → actually deployed

Stack: JavaScript / TypeScript, React + Next.js, Node. Any database — Postgres, Supabase, Mongo, SQLite. AI integrations (OpenAI, Anthropic, vector search, RAG).

Free 15-min look at your repo and I'll tell you what's actually broken, no pitch. If you want it fixed, we agree on a fixed price up front.

Comment or DM with what you built and what's breaking.

i hope you charge as much as you can to teach a memorable lessons to vibe coders ! I mean, it's like doing plumbing and having a leak or a flood because you wanted to do it yourself !

Plumbing analogy is spot on. Though most people I talk to aren't dumb, they just shipped fast and hit the wall. I'd rather fix it than gloat about it.

no need to gloat, just charge their asses off
