Can you start right away?

Send a short description and I will reply with what I would check first. Availability varies, so I will tell you plainly whether I can start.

Do you need access to production?

I need enough access to see what is wrong, ideally read-only logs and metrics to begin. We agree on access in writing, and I keep it to what the work requires.

What if there is no documentation?

That is common. I read the code, the configuration, and the running system, and I write the documentation as part of the job.

Will you rewrite my application?

Usually not. A fix at the cause costs less than a rewrite. If a rewrite is the honest answer, I will explain why and how to stage it.

Can you help prevent this from happening again?

Yes. Monitoring, alerts, tests around the broken area, and a safer release process are all part of a rescue.

Code Repair & Recovery

breaking in prod.
I fix it.

You shipped fast with AI. Now it's on fire. Turngear audits, repairs, and hardens the code that vibe-coding left behind, before it costs you customers.

The Problem

AI wrote it.
Production broke it.

Vibe-coding is incredible for shipping fast. But Claude, Cursor, and Copilot don't unit test your edge cases, validate your inputs, or care about your race conditions at 3am.

I'm the full-stack developer who comes in after the AI: reading what was actually built, not what was intended.

Silent server hangs and memory leaks that only appear under real load
Auth flows with unvalidated inputs or missing permission checks
Payment handlers with no error recovery or idempotency keys
Database queries that work fine in dev, kill prod at scale
No one on the team actually understands the codebase anymore

What I Do

From triage to production-ready

Whether you need a fast audit or a full rescue, we meet you where the code is.

Code Review & Audit

I read your codebase, document visible risks, and hand you a prioritized remediation report with specific fixes.

From $600

Hourly Repair/Triage

Got a specific fire? I jump in on-demand, fix/debug the issue, and document what was wrong and why.

$95 / hr

Project Rescue

Full codebase takeover. I refactor, harden, and hand it back as something a real engineering team can maintain.

From $3,000

Architecture Consulting

Before you vibe-code the next feature, let us design the system it should actually live in.

From $1,500

Monthly Retainer

Ongoing engineering oversight. Turngear will assist with server monitoring, help review PRs, and attempt to keep the landmines to a minimum.
