01 / Reality
A fragile MVP breaks at the worst possible moment: in front of your first paying customer.
Either way, you want the same thing: a SaaS you truly own, that customers can rely on.
02 / Solution
What “production-grade” actually means.
The gap between a demo that works once and software that holds up when real customers arrive comes down to four things.
02
Tests + CI/CD
Change one thing without breaking another.
03
Monitoring + alerts
You hear about problems before your customers do.
04
Security
The gaps an AI-built v1 leaves open, closed.
03 / Ownership
What you own
I don't host. I don't rent. I don't babysit. You own everything.
- The code
- Your repo, your IP, from day 1. No transfer drama at the end.
- The infrastructure
- Your AWS, Vercel, Supabase. You hold the accounts, you control them.
- The AI keys & tokens
- Your Anthropic / OpenAI accounts. Your spend, your limits, your control.
- The data
- Your database, your users. I have no access after handover.

Frequently asked.
The questions founders ask before booking the call. If yours isn't here, ask it on the call, that's what it's for.
Do I own the code? +
Yes. From day 1, in your repo, no IP transfer drama at the end. The same applies to your AWS / Vercel / Supabase accounts and your AI keys, everything stays under your control.
What if my scope changes mid-project? +
Small adjustments are absorbed. Bigger scope changes get a separate quote, never silently absorbed, never silently inflated.
What happens after we ship? +
Most founders want a senior engineering brain to stay reachable after launch, for the first production bugs, the next-step calls, the vendor decisions. That's what Aftercare is for: a monthly retainer for code-health, test expansion, CI tweaks, and advisory. Most Aftercare clients start as MVP clients.
What stack do you use? +
Default: Next.js + Postgres + AWS or Vercel. I'll suggest variations only if your case justifies it. The goal is the right tool, not a stack flex.
What if I'm unhappy after the first weeks? +
Phased payment is 30% at kickoff, the rest milestone-based after each delivery. If we're misaligned early, we stop early, and you only pay for what shipped.
Do you sign NDAs? +
Yes. Mutual NDA available before any deep-dive call.
How fast can you start? +
Usually a 1-3 week lead time. Booking the intro call is the first step.
