Starting price to take your app live
From typical brief to deployed on your domain
Client code & infrastructure ownership
What clients say
Traditional software development felt like trying to reach a destination while someone else drove the car. This puts me back in the driver's seat — with a GPS guiding me every step of the way. It enables me to build and scale the systems my business needs without waiting on developers, learning to code, or spending months and tens of thousands of dollars bringing ideas to life.

The problem
AI builders are magic for getting an idea working. But they run on shared infrastructure, expose internal gateways, and leave you one publish away from a leaky database or a broken integration.
A traditional agency wants $50K+ to rebuild it "properly" — which usually means throwing your prototype out. You don't need a rebuild. You need someone who knows how to take what you have and make it safe to launch.
How it works
Free 30-minute session. We walk through your app together and identify what needs to happen to take it live safely. You leave with a clear scope and price — no commitment.
We sit alongside you and move your app from the AI builder's playground onto infrastructure you own. Integrations wired properly. Security hardened. Auto-deploy in place.
You own the code, the data, and the infrastructure. Maintain it yourself, or keep us on a light monthly retainer to keep it healthy as you grow.
What you get
One flat scope. No surprises. The standards we ship to every time.
We walk through your app together — every screen, every user portal, every integration. I map exactly what needs to happen to take it live safely.
Your app moves from the AI builder's shared servers to Canadian infrastructure. Database in AWS Montreal (PIPEDA-compliant), hosting on Cloudflare's global edge. Your users' data stays in Canada.
Stripe, Google Maps, file storage, email auth — anything your prototype uses gets connected directly to production APIs. No more routing through an internal gateway that breaks the moment you publish.
From here on: you make a change in your AI builder, hit Publish, and it's live on your domain in ~2 minutes. Automatically. Database schema changes deploy themselves. You never touch a terminal.
Row-level security policies verified. Data secured by world-class technology standards. Credentials and API keys encrypted in production. A GitHub safety gate added if you have a team.
A recorded walkthrough of your live app — how the infrastructure works, how to make changes, what to do if something breaks. Yours to keep and share with anyone you bring on.
After handoff, if something breaks or behaves unexpectedly, I fix it — included. Not a support ticket. Just a message.
Want a co-pilot after launch? Pick up a monthly retainer for upgrades, new features, monitoring, and on-call help. Details below.
“It's like daycare for your app.”
The 3-day sprint
Day 1
I clone your repo, audit every dependency, fix any AI-builder gateway dependencies that would silently break in production, and create your Canadian Supabase database. Your schema replays cleanly on Canadian infrastructure.
Day 2
Your app goes live on your domain via Cloudflare. All environment variables set, all integrations connected. Auto-deploy pipeline wired so Publish → live site in 2 minutes. Logging enabled so you can see what's happening if something goes wrong.
Day 3
End-to-end testing across all user portals. Every user flow walked through. Any issues found get fixed same day. You receive the Loom walkthrough and a plain-language one-pager on how to manage your app going forward.
After launch
Going live is the start, not the finish. After the sprint, most clients keep a light monthly retainer so they have a trusted technical partner on call as the app grows. Optional. Cancel anytime.
