Urgent production fix, same working day
When production is broken, book an Urgent Fix by 12:00 ET on a working day and I start that day. It’s for Laravel, Go and Python apps. From $190 for the 2-hour minimum, then $95 an hour, at most 3 hours a day. It’s working-hours help, not 24/7 on-call. Email with URGENT in the subject.

Who this is for.
A good fit if
- A broken deploy, checkout, login or queue on a Laravel, Go or Python app
- Existing clients with a Care Plan or Hours Block (the fastest route)
- Teams whose usual developer is unavailable today
Common triggers
- A deploy went out and the site returns errors
- Payments, signups or logins stopped working
- A server filled its disk or a certificate expired
Not a fit if
- It’s nights or weekends and it can’t wait for the next working day
- You need guaranteed response times or an SLA
- The stack is outside Laravel, Go or Python, or it’s a WordPress plugin issue
What I do, and what you get.
What I do
- Confirm by email whether today’s slot is free
- Stabilize first: roll back, restore service or apply a safe workaround
- Find the cause and fix it if it fits in the day’s hours
- Tell you plainly what I changed and what still needs doing
- Keep a written log of the session
What you get
- Service restored, or a clear written status by the end of the session
- A short incident note: what broke, what I did, what’s left
- Handover notes and, if needed, a quote for the follow-up
Your part
- Working access (server, repo, hosting, error logs) at booking time
- Someone who can approve a rollback or a change
- Prepayment of the 2-hour minimum, or an existing Care Plan or Hours Block
Included
- Up to 3 hours of work that day
- Rollback, workaround and fix
- Incident note
Not included
- Nights, weekends, 24/7
- Guaranteed fix or response time
- Follow-up work beyond the day (booked separately)

What if I book after 12:00 ET?
I start the next working day, still as an Urgent Fix if you want the slot held.
What if it isn’t fixed in 3 hours?
You get a written status and I continue the next working day, or we move to Bug Fixing.
Is it cheaper as a Care Plan client?
Care Plus includes one a month at the normal rate; other plans draw from prepaid hours.
Do you ever work nights?
No. That’s deliberate, and it’s why the price is honest.
What if the slot is taken?
I tell you, and you pay nothing for the urgent booking.

Bug Fixing
I find and fix a specific bug in a Laravel, Go or Python app, with diagnosis first and a hard cap on hours. If it runs over the cap you get a written finding and a quote, never a surprise bill. From $195 ($150 founding) for up to 3 hours. Email me the bug and how to reproduce it.
Hacked App Cleanup
If your Laravel or custom web app has been compromised, I contain it, rebuild it on a clean server from known-good code, rotate every secret and harden the setup. This is a new service: recovery, not forensics or legal work. From $520 ($400 founding), usually 3–8 working days. Email me what you’ve seen.
