Built a prototype. Now what?
Built a prototype in Bolt, Lovable, or Replit? These tools are incredible for validation. But production needs something more. I've been vibe coding since before it had a name. I know exactly where you got stuck. I take AI-built prototypes to production — fast. 20+ years experience, vibe coding expert since day one.
You've hit the wall
You built something real. A working prototype that proves your idea has legs. But now:
This is the prototype-to-production gap. It's where most vibe coding projects stall.
And it's completely normal.
Your prototype isn't a failure. It's discovery.
That thing you built? It's not wasted work.
Visualised
Your vision is now tangible
Tested
Assumptions have been validated
Clarified
You know what you actually want
That's months of traditional requirements gathering — done in days.
The prototype did its job. Now you need someone who can take it from here.
I was vibe coding before it had a name
In October 2024, Bolt.new launched. I was one of the first power users.
While others made landing pages, I shipped a full CRM — database, Stripe payments, auth, the works. Live. Production.
The Bolt CEO reached out. Asked how I'd done it. Said they had power users, and then there was me.
20 years of building products had trained me for this. The way I describe features, report bugs, and give context is what we now call prompt engineering and context engineering. I was doing it before the terms existed.
I've built production apps with:
I know where these tools break. I know why you got stuck. I know how to get past it.
I don't fix vibe code. I start fresh.
It's faster, cheaper, and cleaner to rebuild than reverse-engineer what Bolt or Lovable generated. AI-generated code optimises for speed, not maintainability. Fixing it creates more problems than starting with solid foundations.
Review your prototype
I look at what you built, understand the intent, identify what's missing
Start fresh with proper architecture
Your prototype becomes the spec. I build production-ready code that scales.
Ship fast
AI-first workflows mean 40% faster than traditional agencies. MVPs in 6 days. Production apps in 3 weeks.
Stay involved
30-day bug-free guarantee. I don't build and ghost.
Looking for help with a specific tool?
Two phases, clear costs
Phase 1: Working Demo
- 1 week
- Functional build you can test with real users
Phase 2: Production Launch
- 2-3 weeks
- Fully deployed, scalable, ready for customers

Common Questions
Can't you just fix my existing code?
I could, but it would take longer and cost more. Vibe-coded apps aren't built for maintainability. Retrofitting production requirements creates more problems than starting fresh.
What if my prototype is really close?
Send it over. If building on it makes sense, I'll tell you. But 90% of the time, a clean rebuild is faster.
What tech stack do you use?
Next.js, React, Supabase, Vercel, Stripe. Modern, scalable, maintainable. Same tools under the hood — just architected properly.
How fast can you start?
Usually within a week. Sometimes sooner.
