Jason Wallace

My name is Jason Wallace, and I'm a senior software developer with over a decade of building and running software with real users and real money on the line. I spent five years as a core engineer at TinyPilot, a US-based hardware product, through its growth to about US$1M in yearly revenue and its 2024 acquisition. I also build and run my own software products, where I own every layer myself: design, code, deploys, billing, and the 2am fires. Don't take my word for it. Check my GitHub, my LinkedIn, my X, and five years of public monthly updates.

It's not just you

Real posts, from real people, in exactly the same position as you are right now.

"Lovable will sometimes "fix" something in one place and quietly break something else three screens away that you won't notice until a user hits it"

"I'm tech savvy but 0 dev experience... I just need some reassurance that I can safely market to potential users and not worry it will crash on user 10, 100, 1000 and so on"

"I have little faith in shipping an app where the end-to-end process was purely AI driven so I posted a job on upwork and hired a Senior Full stack developer... he gave me good insight and well worth the $1K spent"

How it works

1.

Email me about your app

Tell me what you built (an app, a website, a SaaS product, whatever the AI produced), what it does, and whether it has real users or revenue yet. I'll tell you straight if I'm not the right fit. If I am, we set up a call.

2.

We chat face-to-face

We schedule a video call (no charge) where we get to know each other a bit better. You show me your app, I ask a few follow-up questions, and I tell you exactly how the audit will work. If either of us isn't feeling it, we part ways having only spent 20 minutes of our time.

3.

You find out what's dangerous, within a week

When you're ready, you give me read-only access to your code and I get to work. Within the week, a full audit report lands in your inbox, in plain English. It sorts every finding into fix now, fix soon, or leave as is, and puts a cost on each, in money or credibility. It ends with a fixed quote for me to fix the critical parts. The report is yours to take anywhere.

What you get

No judgment. I use AI too.

AI writes a lot, if not all, of my code too. My job these days as a software developer is to architect a robust system and to verify the code is actually right. Using AI to build apps is the norm, but shipping one unchecked is a real risk. You shipped something real without being a developer, and that's something to be proud of. The next step is verifying that it works as you intended.

A report you can actually read

Each finding is a few plain sentences on what's wrong and how urgent it is, with every term explained. It's not a jargon dump, and not a 40-page PDF of technical garbage.

If your app is fine, you get a full refund

If I don't find anything critically wrong with your app, you get your money back. Each finding lands in one of the following categories:

  • Fix nowThese are critical issues that could cost you your users' data or your revenue the day someone finds them. For example, exposed databases or secrets, flaws in your payments flow, licensing issues, or broken access controls.
  • Fix soonStructural issues, real problems that might limit your growth, but not today's emergency. It gets more expensive the longer you put this on hold.
  • Leave as isSmall paper cuts in the app, imperfect but overall harmless. I mention all the ones I find, so that you know about them.

Every critical finding has enough detail for any developer (or AI) to verify it and quote you for a fix. You either find a real problem or get reassurance that your app has a solid foundation. Either way, it's worth having before marketing to more users.

Know what's dangerous before user 100, 1,000, or 10,000

Your app made it through the demo phase and gained its first users. Congrats! The question is what happens when your app blows up (in a good way!) or someone malicious/curious shows up? In a Carnegie Mellon University study of AI coding agents on real-world tasks, over 80% of the solutions that worked still contained vulnerabilities. Audit your app now, while it's still cheap to fix.

Someone to call when things go wrong

Most people take the report and fix their critical issues with AI, which is perfectly fine. Others prefer to have a developer who already knows their app, who won't reintroduce critical issues, and will be on call for the day something breaks.

Questions

My app was vibe-coded with Lovable / Replit / Cursor / Bolt / v0 / Claude Code / ChatGPT / etc. Can you work with it?

Yes. The tool doesn't matter. What matters is whether the code will lose you money or customers.

What do you actually check?

The audit answers three questions about your app.

  1. Can someone take what's yours, like your data, your users' data, or your revenue?
  2. Would it survive a bad day, like a crash, a bad deploy, or a lost database?
  3. Would you even know when something breaks, or when someone's poking around?

Under those sits a checklist I've built from a decade of running production software, tuned to how AI writes code. It covers the classics (exposed keys, one user seeing another's data, payments that can be faked) through to the details most people never think to look at. Logins and payments get the most attention, because that's where AI fails most often.

This is a holistic review of your app's ability to operate safely, not a replacement for formal penetration testing or compliance audits.

Is it safe to give a stranger access to my app?

No, and that's the right instinct to have. So don't just automatically trust me and rather check me out for yourself. I only need read-only access to your code, which you can revoke at any time, and I never change your live app during an audit. And you can verify who I am by checking out my GitHub, LinkedIn, X, and monthly updates.

My app lives on Lovable / Replit and I'm not sure I even have "code".

You do, and getting to it is easy. I will guide you through the 5-minute process.

Are you going to judge my code?

No. I use AI to write most of my code too. The difference is that I've spent a decade learning all the ways production code can fail. You built and shipped a real product without being a developer, and the code being messy underneath is normal and fixable. However, leaking your users' data is not.

Are you going to tell me to scrap the entire app and rebuild it from scratch?

No. Your app already works. My job is to keep it working. Fixes are almost always cheaper than a rewrite, and if your app were somehow truly unfixable, it would be the exception.

What if you don't find anything critical?

Then you get your money back, and you keep the report, which says it in writing: no critical issues found. It happens, and when it does I'm genuinely happy for you because you actually didn't need my help at all. I only want clients I can truly help.

My app doesn't have users or revenue yet. Should I still do a code audit?

Probably not yet. Yes, your app might very well have some critical issues, but the number 1 reason why apps fail isn't because of critical bugs, it's because they didn't have enough users or revenue. You're welcome to still email me about your app, but I'll most likely tell you to do some marketing and come back when your app has at least 1 paying customer, 10 or more active users, or a scheduled launch within 30 days.

When do I pay?

After the call, before you give me access to your code and before I read a line of it. Your payment reserves my time to focus on your app.

What happens after the audit?

That's up to you. You're welcome to take the report to another developer, fix things yourself with AI, or just hire me for the fix sprint. Either way, the code audit is valuable on its own.

A friend sent me this page. Why?

Your friend probably thinks you've built something cool and wants to help you keep it secure. That's definitely the kind of friend worth keeping. When you email me, mention who sent you, so I can thank them myself.
