Michael Bires

Senior full-stack engineer who rescues broken apps and hacked websites — and makes sure they don't break again.

I'm a senior full-stack engineer specializing in the work AI can't do: rescuing AI-generated apps that break in production, cleaning up hacked websites, and hardening systems so they stay up. Security audits, incident response, migrations, deployments — years of production scar tissue applied to your emergency.

My approach is audit-first: I diagnose before I touch a line of code. Every engagement starts with a fixed-price triage that tells you exactly what's wrong, what it costs to fix, and — honestly — whether a rescue or a rebuild is the better investment. No hourly meters, no surprises.

I work across the modern stack — Next.js, React, TypeScript, Supabase, PostgreSQL, WordPress/WooCommerce, PHP, and the VPS/nginx/CI-CD layer where most projects actually fail. That last 10% between "works in the demo" and "works in production" is exactly where I live.

If your app is broken or your site is compromised, the fastest next step is a diagnosis. Let's get you back in business.
