Why I built this

My name is Rahal, a software engineer based in Canada with over 10 years of experience building production software.

I help solo founders and small teams turn fast-built MVPs into production-ready products. I audit systems, identify hidden scalability and reliability issues, and help fix them before they become expensive problems.

Lately, I’ve been seeing the same pattern over and over. Someone builds an app using AI, launches quickly, users are happy, and then something suddenly breaks under real usage.

They reach out expecting a massive issue, but most of the time the fix itself isn’t that complicated. The real problem is that the underlying risks were never visible in the first place.

Here’s the thing: vibe coding gets you to working. It doesn’t get you to ready.

AI can ship a feature, but it won’t automatically add caching, create database indexes, secure API keys, or think through scalability bottlenecks. Not because it forgot, but because nobody asked.

You don’t know what you don’t know.

“It works” and “it’s production ready” are two very different things. I built StackSip to bridge that gap. It helps founders identify what’s quietly waiting to go wrong before it becomes an expensive production issue.

This tool is completely free to use. If you have feedback, questions, or want to talk through what you’re building, feel free to reach out.
