My AI-Built App Is Broken and I Don't Know Why
You used an AI tool to build your app — it was working, and now it's not. Maybe you made a small change and everything broke, or it stopped working after a deploy. The AI keeps making it worse when you try to fix it.
Error Messages You Might See
Various — check browser console (F12 > Console tab) and any deployment logs
Common Causes
- A recent prompt introduced a breaking change somewhere else in the codebase
- Environment variables are missing or misconfigured in production
- A dependency was updated and is no longer compatible
- The AI "fixed" one thing but silently broke another
How to Fix It
- Check the browser console (F12) for error messages — screenshot them
- Check if the app works locally but not in production (usually an env var issue)
- Try reverting to the last working version if you have version history
- If the AI keeps going in circles, stop prompting — you need a human to look at the actual code
Real developers can help you.

I’ve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decade—from the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing.
My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream.
What I bring to your project:
Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causes—like significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins.
Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams.
Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last.

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
I don't know what tool was used to build my app. Can you still help?
Yes. Our developers can look at any codebase regardless of what AI tool generated it. Just describe what's broken.
The AI keeps making it worse when I try to fix the bug. What should I do?
Stop prompting. AI tools often fix one thing and break another. A human developer will read the actual code, find the root cause, and fix it properly.
