Your AI wrote a whole lot of code.
Some of it even works. Vibe Janitor is the professional cleanup, refactoring, and hardening service for projects that started life as a vibe and now need to survive contact with real users.
Whether you're a developer who used AI to move fast, or someone who's never written a line of code and just vibed your way to a working app — same problem, same fix. No judgment, no jargon required.
You built something. It's almost there.
Vibe coding is amazing. You describe what you want, the AI writes it, and suddenly you have a working app. Magic.
Then you try to add a feature, and the whole thing wobbles. Or it works fine in dev but melts in production. Or there's a security smell you can't quite identify but you know it's there.
That's where I come in. Think of me as the cleanup crew who shows up after the party — not to judge the mess, just to make sure your house is still standing tomorrow.
Sound familiar?
- "It works on my machine"
- Zero tests, vibes only
- Mystery dependencies
- Secrets in the repo
- 3,000-line file named main.py
- Production = staging = dev
- Logs? What logs?
Four flavors of cleanup.
Pick what you need. We can scope a one-time job or a longer engagement — whichever fits your project's level of dishevelment.
The Audit
I read your code, run the tools, and tell you what's actually going on in there. You get a plain-English report: what's solid, what's scary, what to fix first.
- Architecture walk-through
- Security & secrets scan
- Dependency & supply-chain check
- Prioritized fix-it list
The Cleanup
Rolling up sleeves. Refactor the worst offenders, add tests where they matter, tighten the seams. Your codebase ends up sturdier — and you can still recognize it.
- Targeted refactors (no rewrites)
- Test coverage where it counts
- Static analysis & linting wired in
- Documentation that's actually useful
The Hardening
Production readiness. CI/CD, monitoring, error tracking, secrets management, deploy hygiene. The boring stuff that keeps you from getting paged at 2am.
- CI/CD pipeline setup
- Observability & alerting
- Secrets & config management
- Deployment automation
The Co-Pilot
Ongoing pair-coding and strategy for teams (or solo builders) using AI tools. I help you ship faster without accumulating the kind of debt that brings everything to a halt.
- AI workflow design
- Code review for AI output
- Team training & best practices
- Architecture sounding-board
Simple, scoped, no drama.
I keep engagements tight on purpose. Clear start, clear end, clear deliverables. No retainers you forget about, no scope creep, no surprises.
Free Sanity Check
20-minute call. You show me what you've got. I tell you, honestly, whether I can help — and roughly what it'd cost.
Fixed-Scope Quote
If we're a fit, I send a written scope with a flat price. You know exactly what you're getting before any money changes hands.
Heads-Down Work
I do the work. You get progress updates without having to chase me. Most engagements wrap in 1–3 weeks.
Handoff
You get cleaned-up code, a written summary of what changed, and a short list of things to keep an eye on. We're done.
I'm David. I've been doing this a while.
25+ years building software, from cranky enterprise systems to modern cloud architectures. Full-stack developer, data architect, integration nerd. I've shipped, broken, and rebuilt a lot of things.
I started Vibe Janitor because I kept getting the same call: "My AI built me a thing and now it's a disaster. Can you help?" The answer is almost always yes — and the work is genuinely fun.
Asking for a friend.
Let's clean up that thing you're worried about.
Twenty minutes, no pitch, no pressure. Show me what you've got and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help.
