You shipped fast.
Now your app is
showing cracks.

I help founders rescue AI-built products that aren't ready for the real world — fixing what vibe coding left behind.

About

Engineer by craft.
Builder by instinct.

I'm Freitz — a software engineer and AI developer with 7 years of experience spanning backend engineering, AI integration, and cybersecurity. I've worn the hats of developer, cybersecurity officer, and strategic head of operations, which gives me a perspective most engineers don't have.

My AIM training in data breach management and risk management (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR) means I don't just build AI systems — I build ones that organizations can deploy with confidence, knowing their data is handled right.

Currently a Backend Engineer and AI Developer at Full Scale.

Right now, I'm seeing a specific pattern in the market: founders who built fast with AI tools — and did it well enough to get to v1 — are now discovering that v1 and production-ready are very different things. Security gaps, infrastructure debt, performance under load. I've built my consulting practice around exactly this gap. If that's where you are, I'd like to talk.
