Tactical notes on funnels, production-grade apps, AI build fixes, and what actually breaks after launch..
You vibe coded something real. It works. It might even be making money. But you have no idea how it was built, no way to fix it when it breaks, and no one to call at 3am when it does. James has spent 25 years being the person you call at 3am. Now he's yours.

About James
THE PERSON YOU CALL AT 3AM WHEN EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE.
“My mission is to relax people's nervous systems around technology — so they can be present, be of service, and change the world.”
I've spent 25 years building production software. Call centres, intranets, server racks, databases on fire at 3am with a company depending on me. Every scar I earned was tuition for this moment — when an entire generation of world-changers needs exactly what I've spent a lifetime becoming.
You don't need to become a software engineer. You need someone who already is one — someone who's seen what happens when it breaks, and knows how to make sure it doesn't. That's what I do. I'm the guide, not the hero. You are.

YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER COURSE. YOU NEED SOMEONE IN YOUR CORNER.
The window is open right now. Your ability to serve is being eaten by large language models, and the only counter is focused, relationship-driven software that an LLM can't replicate. These memberships give you the map, the tools, and the guide to get through the transition standing.

After every engagement, the natural next step is choosing an App Pulse tier to keep the protection ongoing.
SECURITY AUDIT
$997
Your vibe-coded app has vulnerabilities you don't know about. Hardcoded secrets, exposed endpoints, broad access policies. James finds them all and fixes what matters first.
Learn more →STRESS TEST
$997
You shouldn't find out your app falls over when 50 people hit it at once by having 50 people hit it at once. k6 load testing with a written report and actionable next steps.
Learn more →E2E TEST SUITE
$997
Every deployment without tests is a prayer. James maps your user flows, writes Playwright specs, and delivers a passing suite integrated into your deploy workflow. You own it.
Learn more →App Pulse Monitoring
YOUR APP IS LIVE. SOMETHING SHOULD ALWAYS BE WATCHING.
When an alert fires, James knows before you do. APM alerts feed directly into a support workflow — detect, document, resolve. You'll never find out your app is broken from a user complaint again.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FOUNDERS BUILD WITH A REAL FOUNDATION.
“I didn't realise how exposed I was. James found seventeen issues in the first audit. We fixed all of them. I went from terrified to confident overnight.”
PRESTON M.
SaaS Founder
“It's actually running now. For real. Not 'works on my machine'.. running in Azure, monitored, with real backups. That's a different thing entirely.”
