AI, software and business technology
Practical help with the technology your business depends on.
I help you put AI to useful work, choose software that fits your business, and get apps ready for real users.
I've spent over 15 years working on software and technical infrastructure, including eight at Apple and hands-on work in a small manufacturer. I help you work through the technical decisions and the practical steps to make them happen.

Reviewing and stabilizing an AI-built app
Web app, iPhone app and AI features, built by a solo founder with Claude Code. 30 findings. I completed the analysis and most of the restructure within 3 days, while development continued.

is your app ready for users?
- Your test app and your live app share a database.
- API keys live in the code, or in someone's chat history.
- Your AI spending has no limit to stop a runaway bill.
- Only you or your AI assistant can build and deploy the app.
- An assistant could delete the project, and there's no history or backup to restore.
- Fixing one thing keeps breaking another.
- You don't know how you'd roll back a bad release.
- You're unsure whether each customer's data is private.
I help you address these risks so you can keep developing the app as people start using it.
