Summary

I'm a business owner who builds software almost entirely using AI coding tools and coding agents. Most projects are functional and get the job done, but I'm looking for an experienced engineer who can review them with a professional eye and help bring them up to production quality. I'm looking for a long-term relationship with a senior engineer who can periodically review my projects and: - Perform comprehensive code audits - Identify security vulnerabilities - Fix security issues - Identify architectural weaknesses - Reduce technical debt - Optimise performance - Improve maintainability and readability - Improve reliability and error handling - Review infrastructure and deployment configurations - Ensure projects follow industry best practices The typical workflow would be: - I build a project using AI tools - You review the repository - You provide a written audit outlining issues, risks, and recommendations - You implement agreed improvements and fixes - We repeat this process as new projects are created Projects may include: - Web applications - Internal business tools - AI-powered applications - API integrations - Workflow automations - Client-facing software What I'm Looking For - Senior-level software engineer (preferably 10+ years experience) - Strong security mindset - Experience conducting code reviews and technical audits - Experience identifying vulnerabilities and implementing fixes - Strong understanding of scalability, performance, and maintainability - Comfortable working with AI-generated codebases - Able to explain findings in plain English Please include: - Your years of experience - Technologies you specialise in - Examples of security or code audit work you've performed - Experience reviewing AI-generated projects - Your hourly rate The ideal outcome is finding someone who becomes my trusted technical reviewer across multiple projects over the long term. I'm not looking for the cheapest developer. I'm looking for someone who can spot problems early, explain them clearly, and help fix them properly.
