Summary
FAQs
What kinds of apps do you repair?
I work with existing web and mobile applications that are partially built or malfunctioning — including Expo/React Native apps, web apps, Anything.com apps and hybrid builds. Common issues include broken authentication, failed deployments, unstable environments, and features that work in preview but not in production.
Do you rewrite or rebuild the entire app?
No. The goal is targeted repair, not unnecessary rewrites. I focus on diagnosing root causes and fixing only what’s required to restore stability and core functionality. If a larger rebuild is genuinely needed, I’ll clearly explain why before proceeding.
What if you discover more issues than expected?
That’s common with broken apps. I’ll prioritize issues, fix the critical blockers first, and communicate clearly if additional work is recommended so you can decide how to proceed.
Can you fix apps built by other developers or no-code platforms?
Yes. I regularly repair apps built by other developers, agencies, or platforms like Anything, Expo-based stacks, and custom setups. You don’t need to understand the original architecture. I’ll handle the investigation.
Will my app be production-ready when you’re done?
The goal is a stable, working application with verified core flows. While this service focuses on repair rather than feature expansion, the end result is something you can confidently test, demo, deploy, or continue building on.
Do you provide documentation after the fixes?
Yes. You’ll receive a clean handoff with notes on what was fixed, how things are structured, and what to be careful with moving forward.
What's included
System Audit & Diagnosis
Before touching code, I perform a structured technical audit to identify root causes and risk areas. Includes: • Environment & deployment review (dev / preview / prod) • Authentication & user flow verification • Backend services & database integrity check • Dependency, build, and configuration analysis • Clear identification of blocking vs. non-blocking issues Deliverable: A concise Repair Plan outlining: • What’s broken (and why) • What’s risky but recoverable • What can be safely ignored or deferred • Recommended fixes and priority order
Targeted Repair and Stabilization
I implement focused fixes that restore functionality without unnecessary rewrites. Includes (as applicable): • Authentication & session repair • Build / deployment failures • API & backend logic fixes • Database schema or data corrections • State, routing, or flow issues • Platform-specific fixes (web, iOS, Android, Expo, etc.) Deliverable: A working, stable application state with verified core flows (sign-in, navigation, critical actions).
Environment & Deployment Validation
Many apps “work locally” but fail at launch. This step ensures the app behaves correctly where it actually matters. Includes: • Production parity checks • Environment variable & secret validation • Hosting / publishing configuration fixes • TestFlight / App Store / Play Store readiness (if applicable) • Demo-ready Deliverable: A verified deployment or distribution build that behaves as expected outside of preview mode.
Clean Handoff & Future-proofing
Once the app is stable, I make sure you’re not stuck again. Includes: • Cleaned source files and updated configs • Documentation of key fixes and architectural notes • “What to touch / what not to touch” guidance • Optional recorded walkthrough or live handoff session Deliverable: A clear handoff package that lets you or your dev team move forward confidently.
