What you walk away with

  • Maintain a documented App Backlog ranking the internal tools your business should build next
  • Generate, iterate, and ship a working internal tool with Lovable or Base44, connected to the systems you already use
  • Direct IDE-based AI coding tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex using review checkpoints a non-developer can run
  • Apply a five-step QA framework covering acceptance criteria, real-data testing, auth checks, and rollback discipline
  • Decide with evidence when to build yourself, migrate off an app builder, or hire a technical partner
