Fractional CTO with 25 years shipping enterprise systems." url: https://georgerios.com/ author: George Rios --- AI-Built App Audit & Validation # You vibe-coded it. Can your business depend on it? You shipped in weeks what used to take a team months. Now customers, partners, or investors are depending on it. I audit AI-built applications for security, reliability, and scalability — then work with you to make them production-grade without a rewrite. 25 years shipping enterprise systems. Most recently Tech Lead & interim CTO at **Catch Health** (400K+ members). I read the code, test the system, and fix what matters — not a slide deck and an invoice.

How the audit works ## From “it works” to “we can depend on it.” AI coding tools are great at getting to a working app. They are not great at the eight things that fail later: leaked secrets, test data touching real customers, over-broad access, unmanaged personal data, silent outages, code nobody else can maintain, backups that were never restored, and growth the architecture cannot absorb. I check all eight, show you the evidence, and fix what matters — keeping what already works. 1. 1 5 minutes · Free ### Free self-check Eight questions, plain-English results, no code access or email required. 2. 2 30 days ### Architecture Discovery I map the system, test the highest-priority gaps, and deliver a prioritized plan. 3. 3 Then ### Harden & hand off I fix the gaps alongside your team or your AI tools, and leave a system someone else can maintain. No “throw it away and start over.” No $350K full-time CTO hire. No 12-month timelines. You may already have a system worth building on — the point is to find out, with evidence.
