v0 gave you the front of the house. We build the rest.
v0 produces polished React and Next.js interfaces in minutes. What it doesn’t give you is everything behind them: a database, real authentication, payments, background work and a secure way to deploy. We build that foundation around the UI you already love.
You talk to the engineer who builds it. No account managers, no hand-offs.

What breaks in v0 apps
Screens with nothing behind them
Forms post to nowhere, data is hard-coded, and the app can’t remember a single user.
Server actions anyone can call
Next.js server actions and API routes run without checking who is calling them, so anyone can trigger them directly.
No real data model
There is no database schema, no migrations and no plan for how records relate to each other as the product grows.
Auth bolted on last
Login is an afterthought, roles don’t exist, and protected pages can still be reached by URL.
Prototype-grade deploys
Environment variables are missing in production, previews and production share data, and there’s no error tracking.
Component sprawl
Dozens of near-identical generated components make every design change a hunt through copies.
The usual situation
You have a stunning set of screens and a clickable flow, and investors or early users want to sign up. The buttons don’t save anything yet, or they save to a mock. That’s a backend project, and it’s one we do all the time.
“Virgil was so easy to work with and great at communicating and leading the project. I appreciate his help!”
What we fix
- Design the data model and set up the database with migrations
- Add real authentication, roles and protected routes
- Secure every server action and API route
- Connect payments, email and the third-party services your product needs
- Consolidate generated components into a clean, reusable set
- Deploy production and staging environments with monitoring
Rescue work
Vibe-code rescue and AI product build
Signa
Signa proved its idea for AI jewelry design with a Replit prototype. We built it into a production B2B platform with business accounts, subscription billing, AI image generation and automated workflows.

Clipflo
Clipflo is a video gallery platform for wedding content creators, built in Lovable by its founder. It took off fast, and its creators were soon uploading far more video than a first version is built for. We rebuilt the upload pipeline for scale and stayed on as Clipflo’s engineering team.

For AI-built apps, new AI products and automations
Built something with Lovable, Replit, v0, Bolt or Cursor? A senior engineer reviews your code, security, payments, data and hosting and tells you what to keep, fix or rebuild. Planning a new AI product or automation? We test it on a sample of your real data and work out the models, running costs and architecture. Either way, you get a clear path to launch and a quote to get there, 100% credited toward your build.

How we work
- 1
Scope
We agree on what gets built, what it costs and when it ships.
- 2
Build
Milestones or a monthly plan, with a demo every week. Problems raised early, in plain English.

Launch
We deploy, monitor and hand over. Then we stay on if you want us to.
You own all the code, accounts and IP. No lock-in.
v0 questions
Will you keep my v0 design?
Yes. The interface is usually the best part of a v0 project. We keep it, clean up the component structure and build the backend behind it.
Which backend do you use?
Whatever fits the product: Next.js with Postgres or Supabase for most projects, or a separate API when the product needs heavier background work. We explain the tradeoff before we start.
Do you deploy on Vercel?
Often, yes. We also deploy to AWS, Cloudflare and other hosts when cost or requirements point that way. You own the accounts either way.
Can you add AI features at the same time?
Yes, that’s our specialty. Many v0 projects are AI products at heart, and we build the AI workflows alongside the backend.
