Built something amazing.
Now completely stuck?
You shipped v1 with Cursor, Lovable, or v0 in a weekend. That was exciting. Now you're on v47, the AI keeps suggesting the same broken fix, and you're not sure what's yours anymore.
Sound familiar?
The classic stages of vibe-coding grief
The Honeymoon's Over
"I built an MVP in 48 hours!" ... "It's been 3 months and I'm still fixing the same bug."
Spaghetti Monster
Your codebase has 47 files called utils.js and nobody knows which one actually runs.
Context Window Roulette
You paste the same error, get a different "fix" each time, and somehow it's always "almost working."
Platform Prison
Your entire business runs on Lovable and you're starting to wonder what happens when they change pricing.
Data Hostage
Wait, where IS my data? Who owns it? Can I even export this?
The Refactor Fear
You want to add one feature but you're terrified of touching anything because last time everything broke.
The stuff nobody talks about
Vibe coding is amazing for speed. But there are real long-term risks.
Data Sovereignty
The problem: Your user data lives on someone else's infrastructure with unclear ownership terms.
Reality check: When you scale or get acquired, due diligence will ask: "Where's your data? Who owns it? Can you migrate?"
Platform Lock-in
The problem: Your entire product is built on a tool that could change pricing, features, or disappear.
Reality check: Lovable, Replit, or v0 are amazing — until they're not. What's your Plan B?
Technical Debt Timebomb
The problem: AI-generated code optimises for "working now" not "maintainable later."
Reality check: The quick wins compound into a codebase that fights every new feature.
The Black Box Problem
The problem: You don't fully understand what the AI built. Neither does the AI anymore.
Reality check: When something breaks at 2am, you need to actually debug it — not just pray the AI suggests something new.
How I help
I'm not anti-AI. I'm pro-building-things-that-last.
Vibe Code Audit
I review what you've built, identify the real issues, and give you an honest assessment of what's salvageable vs. what needs rebuilding.
Stabilise & Ship
Get your product working reliably. Fix the critical bugs. Add the observability you're missing. Make it deployable somewhere you control.
Migration Planning
Move off platform dependency. Get your data. Own your infrastructure. Plan for growth without vendor lock-in.
Knowledge Transfer
Understand what you have. Document the architecture. Make it possible for future developers (or future you) to maintain it.
Start with a Vibe Check
£500 for a 2-hour deep dive into your codebase. You'll get a written report with:
Why trust me with your AI-built chaos?
I've been building production systems for 25 years. Emergency services platforms. Financial systems. Things that can't break. I know what "scalable" and "maintainable" actually mean — and I can help you get there without throwing away everything you've built.
Your vibe isn't lost.
It just needs direction.
Let's turn that AI-assisted chaos into something you can actually grow.
No judgment. I've pasted code I don't understand at 2am too.
