// 40,000 hrs untangling other people's code

Stop losing time to the same AI quirks. Get unstuck in 2 hours or it's free.

You vibe-coded something real, then hit a wall the AI keeps failing at. Send me what's broken. I find the one knot it can't untangle, fix it fast, and hand your project back clean, so you keep building it yourself.

[ the promise ]

I don't take over your project. I unstick it, explain what was wrong, and hand it back. So you can keep vibe-coding, better than before.

// the death loop

You know this feeling.

You ask for one small change. It half-works. You ask again. Now two other things are broken. Three days later you're further from done than when you started.

01

The AI keeps failing the same task. Same prompt, same wrong result, over and over.

02

It fixes one thing and quietly breaks two others you won't notice until later.

03

The styling just won't land. Close, but never right, no matter how you phrase it.

04

The logic looks fine and is subtly, confidently wrong. And you can't see where.

You don't need to hand it off. You need someone who can read the mess and untangle the one knot.

// how it works

Three steps. No discovery call.

1

Send what's broken

A message with a video recording or a repo link. Two minutes of your time.

2

Get a free diagnosis + flat quote

A straight read on what's actually wrong, what it takes to fix, and exactly what it costs. No discovery call.

3

Fixed in 2 hours — you keep going

Approve the quote, give me access, and I fix the one thing that's stuck within 2 hours, or it's free. Handed back clean, still yours.

// rescues

Specifics, not adjectives.

Real stuck moments, each a short video: the problem, the read, the fix — and the clock. This is what "fixed fast" actually looks like.

E-commerce headers were broken

Weeks of AI prompts had left the store with duplicated headers. Every new prompt made it worse. I went straight to the component source, cut the broken piece, and rebuilt one clean header that handles both cases. Fixed on the first pass.

Prices you can see before you decide.

No "contact for a quote," no discovery call. Specialist devs bill €100–200 an hour. I work flat and upfront, so you know the exact number before you say yes.

// questions

The stuff you're actually wondering.

No. I unstick the one thing that's blocking you, explain what was wrong, and hand it straight back. So you keep building it yourself. Your project stays yours the whole way through.

Not at all. Vibe coding is a smart, legitimate way to build. You don't need to read the code. That's my job. You just need to show me what's stuck.

Yes. I only touch what I need to fix the one thing you asked about. I never reuse or share your code, and I'll sign an NDA on request. The moment it's handed back, you can revoke my access. Your project and your IP stay yours, start to finish.

Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Cursor, Claude & all others. If there's code somewhere, I can read it.

Fast is the whole point. The free diagnosis usually comes back the same day you send it. Once you approve the quote and give me access, I fix the one thing that's stuck within 2 hours, or you don't pay.

You'll know before anything starts. The free diagnosis tells you exactly what's wrong. If it's more than one knot, you get a single honest quote for the whole thing and decide from there. No surprise bills, no scope creep, and the clock only starts once you say go.

Unstuck Express (€49) is a 15-minute screen share where I point to exactly where the problem is and you fix it yourself. Fix It (€299) is me fixing one specific problem for a flat fee, done within 2 hours of getting access, or it's free. The Grand Slam (€599) adds a 30-minute recorded walkthrough of what was wrong plus a month of "ask me anything" email support, so you never get stuck on it twice.

Come back anytime, or grab the Grand Slam and you get a full month of email support built in. There's no retainer and no lock-in. You only come back when you actually need to.

Broken logic, styling that won't cooperate, design quality, performance, an AI that keeps looping on the same task — whatever's blocking you from moving forward.

40,000+ hours (15+ years) reading messy, undocumented, inconsistent codebases, written with all sorts of programming languages, and making them make sense again.

An AI-built app is just a new kind of legacy code, undocumented, inconsistent, and nobody remembers why it works.

Reading exactly that kind of mess is literally my job.
