Environment Variables Undefined in Production Build
API keys and configuration values are undefined in production. Supabase URL and API key return undefined, causing all API calls to fail. Works locally with .env.local but not in production.
Vite only exposes variables prefixed with VITE_ to the client. Production requires proper build-time or runtime environment setup.
Error Messages You Might See
Cannot read property of undefined
Supabase URL is undefined
API key is required
Common Causes
- Environment variable doesn't have VITE_ prefix
- .env file not loaded during build
- Using process.env instead of import.meta.env
- Environment variables not set in production deployment platform
- Build cache not cleared after env change
How to Fix It
Use VITE_ prefix for client-side variables in .env:
VITE_SUPABASE_URL=https://xxx.supabase.co
VITE_SUPABASE_KEY=xxxAccess in code:
import.meta.env.VITE_SUPABASE_URLSet same variables in production platform (Vercel, Netlify, Railway env settings).

I’ve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decade—from the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing.
My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream.
What I bring to your project:
Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causes—like significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins.
Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams.
Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last.

I am a technologist and product builder dedicated to creating high-impact solutions at the intersection of AI and specialized markets. Currently, I am focused on PropScan (EstateGuard), an AI-driven SaaS platform tailored for the Japanese real estate industry, and exploring the potential of Archify.
As an INFJ-T, I approach development with a "systems-thinking" mindset—balancing technical precision with a deep understanding of user needs. I particularly enjoy the challenge of architecting Vertical AI SaaS and optimizing Small Language Models (SLMs) to solve specific, real-world business problems. Whether I'm in a CTO-level leadership role or hands-on with the code, I thrive on building tools that turn complex data into actionable value.

Full-stack developer experienced in fixing and deploying AI-generated apps from Lovable, Bolt.new, Cursor, and Replit. I specialize in debugging Supabase integration issues (auth flows, RLS policies, database connections), fixing broken deployments, resolving routing/blank screen problems, and cleaning up messy React/Vite codebases. I also build production apps with the Claude API and have shipped a Mac desktop dev tool (Nexterm from scratch. Based in Hong Kong, fast turnaround.
You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.
