Hi, I'm

Shlomi Nugarker

Production rescue
for React & Next.js apps.

Remote

I work inside product teams on apps that are already live, fixing performance and stability problems — including in code written fast with AI.
React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node and PostgreSQL. I also build AI features on the Claude API, and AI code-generation systems of my own.

Available for freelance and long-term work.

About

A bit about me.

Freelance engineer working with international clients. I work on React and Next.js apps that are already live, together with the team — usually when they have started to slow down, break, or outgrow how they were built.

I care about code that is easy to change, clear communication, and staying available after launch. I also build AI code-generation systems myself, so I know from the inside how AI-written code tends to break. Usually with plenty of coffee .

Services

How I can help.

Keeping live React and Next.js apps fast, stable and maintainable.

Production Rescue

Live apps that are slow, unstable or throwing errors under real users — found, diagnosed and fixed.

Performance

Slow pages and heavy loading: finding what causes them and fixing it.

AI-Code Cleanup

Apps built fast with AI that now need to survive real users: security gaps, fragile patterns and code nobody can safely change.

AI Features & Integrations

Chat interfaces and other features built on AI APIs such as Claude.

Works

Client work and personal projects.

Work inside client teams, and a few projects of my own.

Client names withheld — I don't publish client names without permission.

#01

High-traffic SSR marketplace

A large production marketplace. Working with the backend and DevOps team, I added logging for requests and memory, found and fixed a memory leak, and worked on the frontend side of a backend migration with no downtime.

A legal platform on 70+ PostgreSQL tables. I built most of the frontend, working alongside a backend developer, and wrote some of the queries.

Audit

Not sure what state your app is in?

A read-only Production Health Audit: what's broken, what it costs you, and what to fix first.

FAQ

Questions clients ask.

How does working together look?

For a new feature or project: a short call, then scope, timeline and price before any code. For an app that already has problems, we can start with a short audit.

How long does it take?

It depends on the scope, and you get an estimate before we start. The audit takes about two weeks.

How much does it cost?

Project work is hourly or fixed scope, and you know the number before we begin. The audit starts at $750, and it comes off the bill if I also make the fixes.

What happens after the fixes?

I stay available after changes go live, for questions, fixes and further work if you want it.
