AI Code Assistant to Production
GitHub Copilot got you to 80%.
I ship the last 20.
GitHub Copilot provides AI-assisted code completion and generation inside VS Code, JetBrains, and other editors. It's excellent at writing individual functions and implementing patterns, but it doesn't architect systems or handle the cross-cutting concerns that make a prototype production-ready. Founders rely on it for velocity, then discover it can't debug why their Stripe webhooks fail silently in production.

What GitHub Copilot does well
GitHub Copilot is an incredible tool for prototyping. Here's where it shines.
Fast inline code completion across all languages
Copilot Chat for Q&A within the editor
Workspace knowledge for project-aware suggestions
Deep GitHub integration with PR summaries
Where GitHub Copilot hits the wall
The specific production problems AI can't solve for your app. These are the things that break when real users show up.
Generates auth boilerplate but misses session management edge cases
Creates payment endpoints without webhook handling or idempotency
No awareness of App Store compliance or provisioning requirements
Database queries lack optimization — no connection pooling awareness
Infrastructure suggestions are tutorial-grade, not production-grade
What I do for GitHub Copilot founders
The specific production engineering your app needs. You review every PR. You stay in control.
Auth that doesn't leak
Refresh token rotation, MFA, social login edge cases, session management. The full flow, not the scaffold AI generates.
Payments that settle
Stripe integration with idempotent webhooks, subscription lifecycle management, failed payment recovery, and proper financial reporting.
Database that scales
Schema design with indexing for your actual query patterns, migration strategy, connection pooling, and caching. More than CREATE TABLE statements.
Infrastructure that stays up
CI/CD pipelines, staging environments, Vercel/Fly.io deployment, Sentry error tracking, and alerting. Your app runs on your infrastructure.
Mobile that gets approved
App Store compliance, provisioning profiles, TestFlight distribution, push notifications, and review appeal handling. End-to-end mobile deployment.
Architecture review
I audit your AI-generated codebase for anti-patterns, fix the production concerns, and leave you with code you can actually maintain.
