You built it with AI. Now it has to actually work.

The app builder got you a demo in a weekend. Then real users showed up. Logins break, data disappears, payments misbehave, the App Store keeps rejecting it, and every new prompt breaks something that used to work.

I fix that. Usually without starting over.

Fixed prices. You talk to the engineer doing the work.
Sound Familiar?

The demo worked. Production is another story.

Fixing one thing breaks two others. The AI keeps rewriting code that already worked.
Users can see each other's data, or you honestly aren't sure whether they can.
The App Store or Google Play keeps rejecting it, and the rejection emails read like a foreign language.
Payments or subscriptions are flaky. Somebody paid and didn't get access, or got access and didn't pay.
You're scared to deploy, because the last deploy took the whole thing down.
It's slow, and it gets slower every time you add a user.

Lovable, Replit, Bolt, v0, Cursor, Rork, a freelancer who disappeared, or a weekend of your own hustle. Doesn't matter how it got built.

Who's Doing the Work

An engineer who has been on call for the bad nights.

I'm Jamie McLaughlin. Thirteen years in production software, including nearly a decade on a federally regulated fleet compliance platform handling around 10 million events a day at a 99.9% uptime target. I've shipped iOS and Android apps through both stores more times than I can count.

I also built and run CrushThisCourse myself: the mobile app, the API, the database, the website, payments, and the servers. I use AI tools every day. I also know exactly where they cut corners, because I clean up after them.

Based in Neptune Beach, FL. Working with people across Jacksonville and remotely nationwide.

Let's Talk

Tell me what's broken.

A few sentences is enough: what you built it with, what it's supposed to do, and what's going wrong. You'll hear back from me, usually within a day. If I'm not the right fit, I'll say so.
