For Bolt Founders
Technical cofounder for Bolt founders
You built your prototype with Bolt. That work is real. Now you need someone who understands both Bolt's strengths and its production gaps — and can bridge the 80% wall without rewriting everything from scratch.
Last updated: May 2026
How it works with your stack
I don't rewrite what Bolt built. I work alongside it, fix the production concerns, and ship the product.
I review your codebase
I look at what Bolt generated, identify the production gaps, and give you a clear list of what needs fixing (not rewriting).
I fix the hard 20%
Auth edge cases. Payment webhooks. Database indexes. App Store compliance. CI/CD pipelines. I handle what AI keeps getting wrong.
You review, we ship
Every fix is a PR. You review it, you merge it, and you understand what changed. When we're done, you own the codebase top to bottom.
What I fix in Bolt projects
The production problems I see in every AI-generated codebase.
Gap: Generated auth is demo-grade — no production session managem...
Auth architecture
Refresh token rotation, MFA, social login redirect handling, session management
Gap: Database layer is simplistic — no migrations, no scaling str...
Payment infrastructure
Idempotent webhooks, subscription lifecycle, failed payment recovery, refund paths
Gap: Payment integration is test-mode only — no webhook handling...
Database scaling
Indexing for query patterns, migration strategy, connection pooling, caching
Gap: No path to mobile deployment or App Store submission...
Infrastructure & CI/CD
Staging environments, Vercel/Fly.io deployment, Sentry error tracking, alerting
Gap: Infrastructure is locked to their runtime — can't migrate to...
Mobile deployment
App Store compliance, provisioning, TestFlight, push notifications, review handling
Why a technical cofounder, not a freelancer or agency
The alternatives don't understand Bolt projects. They'll want to rewrite everything.
