Launch your AI-built app with confidence.

I help founders launch apps built with AI tools like Lovable and Replit. You handle the vision, I do all the boring bits like security, performance, privacy & accessibility.

Hi, I’m Eve.

I'm a software developer, but I'm quite nice once you get to know me 😉

An expert developer on your side

I remember the awe when 11-year-old me saw my first program come to life. I ❤️ that AI tools let everyone experience that joy!

I do all the boring bits that turn your cool idea into a stable product.

I’m not here to judge your work

AI tools are the big democratiser for software development, and I think that's great! I help you launch with confidence, not grade your existing work.

You won’t have to start again

I rarely recommend throwing things away. Most issues I find are pretty simple to put right - the trick is knowing where to look.

I treat you like a human

I don't expect you to know software jargon. I'm always happy to explain things in terms you'll understand.

In fact, I explain things as a side-gig.

Nice to meet you

Hi, I’m Eve 🍏

I've been writing and shipping software for almost 2 decades. I've done a lot of different things...

  • The early days making websites in PHP.

  • Saving people money on their mobile phone bills at Billmonitor.

  • Building a global accounting platform at Sage.

  • Analysing LCMS data to help researchers understand disease at Waters.

    Basically curing cancer.

  • Herding AI models at V7.

    Not too dissimilar from herding cats.

  • Automating product sampling for some of the world's biggest beauty brands at SoPost.

  • Lighthouse Software

    And now, running my own software business helping founders launch their AI-built apps.

I've done this for so long that I know what things tend to go wrong, which are the highest risk, and where best to spend your time and money to ensure a peaceful night's sleep. Or more time for raving, I don't judge 💃.

More about me

Where I help

Seeing your idea come to life is an amazing feeling! But then comes GDPR laws, security best-practices, WCAG accessibility guidelines, and a whole host of boring things that occupy your precious time.

I help with all those necessary tasks, using my two decades of industry experience to know what's important and what can be deferred. That leaves you to focus on building your business and perfecting your idea.

Security

The gaps attackers look for, from logins to access control.

Privacy and data protection

GDPR basics: lawful data use, encryption and honouring requests.

Reliability and error handling

What happens when things go wrong, from errors to backups.

Performance

Speed where it counts, from load times to slow queries.

Scaling

Whether it holds up as real users and data arrive.

Deployment and operations

Shipping safely: deploys, rollbacks, monitoring and cost.

Code quality and maintainability

Whether the codebase is safe to change and hand over.

Accessibility and correctness

That it works for real people, across devices, browsers and inboxes.

Case studies

I'm lucky to have worked with some amazing clients who brought me fun and interesting problems.

Here are some of my favourites.

The review queue, listing events found overnight

Stockholm-based events listing company

Automated AI crawling and dashboard

My client was spending hours manually finding events and updating them in their database.

I integrated an AI-agent crawler into a robust back end and database. I then took their AI-built front-end prototype and hooked it up to the real data.

The events now land in a dashboard every morning for review, saving hours of manual effort every day.

Vividon relighting a photograph inside Photoshop

Vividon

Photoshop plugin for relighting images

I built the first version of Vividon, allowing them to demo to investors and initial customers.

The product is a Photoshop plugin that can change the lighting of any image from within Photoshop, with no AI prompting and no leaving the app.

I took an existing mockup and made it into a real, functional Photoshop plugin.

The Peach review platform

Peach

Reviews parents can actually trust

Peach is reinventing shopping for babies and children by curating real reviews from actual, trusted parents.

I built the whole platform from the ground up. Admins choose which questions are asked for each product category, allowing Peach to collect rich data on its products.

AI integration makes adding products a one-click operation, saving staff time and effort.

Analysis software for mass spectrometry data

A tool for finding host cell proteins in mass spectrometry results, built for a regulated setting where getting the answer wrong is expensive. I can’t say much more than that.

What people say

My career so far has allowed me to work with some incredible people across many different roles - technical, product, sales, etc.

Some of them wrote some nice things about working with little-old me 😊

“Quality is built into Eve’s work. Reviewing her code is easy, because it is already high quality, clean and maintainable, with tests to boot. She thinks ahead, asks the right questions, and gets straight to the core of the problem.”
Kirt Rainford Kirt Rainford Senior Fullstack Engineer, Thrive
“One of the most talented and versatile developers I have ever met: brilliant at solving complex problems, deeply understanding business goals, and always delivering exceptional results. She consistently comes back with a clear, detailed plan for tackling a challenge.”
Isabel Llamas Isabel Llamas Senior Product Manager
“Eve is exceptional at delivering software. She really listens and understands the problem in a way very few others do. She is one of the few people I have been around with the ability to get systems to function on their first deploy. She is the real deal.”
Jamie Curle Jamie Curle COO, SoPost

Frequently asked questions

If you don't see an answer to your question below, please send me a message, I don't bite 🦈!

Will you make me rewrite everything?

No. A lot of developers are snooty about AI-generated code. I'm not. I appreciate what it's good at, and know its blind spots. Most of the time the fixes are fairly simple, if you know where to look.

What do I actually get with a Launch Plan?

The Launch Plan is delivered as a PDF document. It outlines the 8 categories I look at, and where you stand on each one. It then details every single issue I found, in priority order, so you know where to start.

How long does a Launch Plan take?

Usually between one and two weeks from the point I have access to your app and code. I keep you updated throughout.

Do I need to be technical?

Not at all. I'm used to communicating complex topics to non-technical people (in fact, I do it for fun). There are no silly questions and I'm always at the end of an email or a call to clarify.

What do you need from me?

I'll take you through every step of the process, but typically access to the code and a running version of the app I can look at.

Is my code and data kept private?

Yes. Everything you share is treated as confidential, and I’m happy to sign an NDA before we begin. Some clients generously allow me to showcase their apps as case studies - this would always be discussed with you first.

What if you find something serious?

If you're already live, I'll let you know straight away. I can fix it for you or recommend emergency remediation steps. If you're still in preview, it goes right to the top of your Launch Plan and we tackle it first.

What happens if something takes longer than you thought?

I charge fixed prices for fixed scope, so you know what you're getting and how much it'll cost. If it takes me longer, you don't pay any extra, and I go home and practice my estimation.

How does AI actually work?

Glad you asked! Watch my talk "AI Under the Hood", from TechNExt 2026.

“The best talk of the day”
Actual quote 😊

I can't wait to hear about your pride and joy! Tell me about your app, where you are, and where you want to be. Then we'll work out what to do next.
