Emergency Development Services

Did your last developer leave a mess?

Whether your Shopify store is breaking at scale, your AI-generated checkout extension is a mess, or your previous developer disappeared — I step in, stabilize the codebase, and get you back to selling.

TRUSTED BY TEAMS BUILDING AT SCALE

Architecture & AI Rescue

You built a prototype using Cursor or v0, but now it's a monolithic mess of spaghetti code that crashes when you try to scale. I refactor it into enterprise-grade React/Next.js.

Speed & Core Web Vitals

Your Shopify or WordPress site is painfully slow, tanking your SEO and killing conversion rates. I strip out the bloat and guarantee sub-2-second load times.

Shopify Store Rescue

Broken checkout? Theme falling apart after too many app installs? Previous developer used a page builder that slowed your store to a crawl? I audit, stabilize, and document — so your team can maintain it without me.

Recent Work

This isn't theoretical.

WooCommerce, Norway

MerkBart's admin panel froze for minutes every time a customer uploaded logos.

Invoice generation timed out on bigger orders. Setting a sale price meant editing hundreds of variants by hand. I rebuilt the store from scratch, moved it off shared hosting onto AWS, and replaced the broken plugins with custom ones built around how the team actually works.

The Process

How a rescue engagement actually works.

1

Audit

A real review of your repo or store, not a sales call. You get a written list of what's actually broken, ranked by what's costing you the most.

2

Stabilize

I fix what's actively bleeding money or breaking first, without a ground-up rewrite unless one is genuinely needed. You keep selling while it happens.

3

Document & Hand Off

You get documentation and a staging environment either way, whether we keep working together or your team takes it from here.

Have a different kind of emergency?

Abandoned migrations, broken APIs, or security vulnerabilities? Don't let a bad codebase sink your business. Send me the details and I'll review it within 24 hours.
