Satsman - AI-Powered Platform Vibe Coded Website

Rebuilt and migrated a sales management SaaS from Replit to a self-hosted AWS production environment. Implemented full CI/CD with GitHub Actions, automated deployments, infrastructure-as-code, and a scalable architecture designed for growth.

From AI-Generated Code to Production Infrastructure

The Challenge

The client was building the Satsman platform using Replit's AI-powered vibe coding tool. While AI code generation accelerated initial development, they hit limitations when the AI tool got stuck, lacked production infrastructure, and needed a reliable developer to bridge the gap between AI-generated code and production-ready deployment.

The Solution

Hired via Toptal as a trusted full-stack developer, I transformed their Replit prototype into a production-grade AWS deployment. I set up complete CI/CD automation, resolved complex bugs where AI generation failed, implemented security best practices, and provided hands-on development support both in Replit for rapid iteration and in the codebase for production fixes.

Bridging AI Development with Production Reality

Working with AI-generated code presents unique challenges. While tools like Replit's vibe coding accelerate development, they often produce code that requires human expertise for production deployment, debugging edge cases, and implementing proper DevOps practices. I served as that critical bridge.

I set up the entire AWS infrastructure from scratch - EC2 instances, load balancers, auto-scaling groups, and a complete CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions. The client could continue working in Replit for rapid AI-assisted development, then simply push to GitHub to automatically deploy to production. I also jumped into Replit when needed to help debug issues where the AI tool got stuck, ensuring continuous development velocity.
