AI got you 70%.The rest is the job.

Yes — it is the most common version of this work. Typically the logic works and the interface does not: generic layout, no design system, broken responsive behaviour, no empty or error states. I redesign the surface and rebuild it properly, keeping what works underneath.

Yes, design-led. The design is decided first, then built with Claude Code, Lovable or Cursor, which is far faster than hand-coding and far better than prompting your way to a layout. You get something maintainable with a written handover.

Not automatically. Published research in 2026 found a large share of AI-generated code samples carrying common security flaws, and AI app builders have shipped apps with exposed user data. I handle design, front-end and production polish; anything touching authentication, payments or personal data gets reviewed by a security specialist I bring in. I will not pretend that is my discipline.

Claude Code and Cursor for building, Lovable and v0 for rapid prototypes, Figma for design. Tools change every few months; the judgment about what to keep and what to throw away does not.

Often, because the prototype already answers what the product should do. It is not free: the last 30% — the part your customers judge you on — is the part that takes real time.
