Hire a Lovable developer — one engineer, not an agency
Search for "hire Lovable developer" and you get offshore agencies with hourly rates and a bench of people you will never meet. That is not what a stuck Lovable app needs. It needs one experienced engineer who reads the code, tells you the truth, fixes it, and is still there next month.
What a good Lovable developer actually does
- Reads the generated code instead of prompting it again. Most "unfixable" bugs are a mismatch between what the UI does and what the database allows.
- Knows Supabase properly: row-level security, edge functions, migrations, auth, storage — the half of a Lovable app that the builder hides.
- Moves the app onto infrastructure you own and sets up staging, backups and monitoring, so the fix stays fixed.
- Leaves you able to keep building — with Lovable, or with Claude Code on your own machine — instead of making you dependent on them.
How this is different from an agency or a marketplace
I am Cooper Tingey, a software engineer and the CTO of a production SaaS company. You work with me directly. Prices are fixed after a free first meeting, not hourly. Everything — repo, database, hosting, domain — lives in your accounts from the start; if we stop working together nothing breaks. And I only take on work I can do well: Lovable, Base44, Bolt and Replit apps on React, Supabase or Postgres, Node, Google Cloud and Vercel.
Typical jobs
- Finish an app that is 80% there: the demo works, the edge cases and integrations do not.
- Fix a bug that keeps coming back — payments, auth, emails landing in spam, a page that loads for you and not for your users.
- Migrate off Lovable Cloud to your own Supabase or Postgres.
- A security and RLS audit before a launch or a buyer's due diligence.
- Package a Lovable web app for the App Store and Google Play with Capacitor.
- Ongoing upkeep: hosting watched, backups, updates and someone to call — $99 a month.
Pricing
First meeting: free — you show me the app, I tell you plainly what it needs. Cleanup, fixes and migration: fixed price, typically $1,500–$8,000 depending on integrations and data. Upkeep: $99 a month, cancel any time.
Questions
Do you work hourly?
No. Every project gets a fixed price after the first meeting. You know the number before any work starts.
Can you take over an app someone else built?
Yes — that is most of what I do. I start with a written findings report so we both know what we are dealing with.
Are you a Lovable partner or agency?
No. I am an independent engineer and not affiliated with Lovable. That also means I will tell you when staying on Lovable is the right call and when it is not.
