I’m looking for a freelancer to help protect my API key and secure my AI app deployments across Vercel, Github,Google AI Studio, and Bolt.ai. I have already moved the relevant URLs and projects from AI Studio and [login to view URL] to GitHub and imported them into Vercel. I now need someone Protect my API key is not exposed. Check for insecure handling of environment variables, client-side leaks, or public references. Recommend and explain the corrections needed. Leave clear written instructions so I can personally make the remaining changes on my other URLs. Work on only one Vercel account, one AI Studio project, and one [login to view URL] project as a reference case, not across all my projects. I am specifically looking for someone who can guide me step by step, not just make changes silently. Please note: No direct changes to all my projects without approval. No sharing of API keys beyond what is strictly necessary. Clear documentation of every change made. Experience with Vercel environment variables, secure deployment, and API key protection is required. If interested, please reply with: Relevant experience. How you would protect sensitive keys during the work. Whether you can provide written instructions for me to apply to the rest of my URLs.

You did the right move bringing projects into GitHub and Vercel. The real risk now is keys living in repo history or being referenced in code that ends up in the browser or build logs. Most breaches I fix come from a key being accidentally imported into client bundles or left in git commits. Fixing env handling and provider restrictions usually closes the gap. Proof: I secured Program Pro, an AI coaching SaaS, by moving Anthropic and OpenAI access behind server endpoints, rotating keys, and locking down deployments. Approach * Audit repo and git history for secrets with git secrets and truffleHog * Verify Vercel env variables and GitHub secrets are used only server side and strip any client side references * Add temporary scoped keys or proxy endpoints on Vercel, apply provider restrictions and rotate keys * Produce a written remediation checklist and exact commands plus screenshots for you to apply elsewhere Relevant experience I built and secured AI SaaS systems where API keys were moved off the client and rotated regularly. How I protect keys while working I use scoped temporary keys where possible, never paste keys in chat, perform scans locally or on a fork, and request least privilege access. Can you provide written instructions Yes, I will hand over a clear step by step guide and an architecture diagram. Quick question Which API provider are we protecting first and can you grant read access to the GitHub repo plus Vercel project as a collaborator so I can run the audit and prepare the remediation checklist?

Hi, I reviewed your requirements and appreciate your focus on understanding the security changes rather than having someone make silent modifications. API key exposure is one of the most common issues in AI applications, especially when working across Vercel, GitHub, Google AI Studio, and platforms like Bolt. My approach would be: ✓ Review one Vercel deployment, one GitHub repository, one AI Studio project, and one Bolt project ✓ Check for client-side API key exposure ✓ Audit environment variable handling ✓ Review GitHub commit history for leaked secrets ✓ Verify Vercel environment variable configuration ✓ Check frontend/backend separation of AI requests ✓ Identify public references and security risks ✓ Recommend secure architecture improvements ✓ Document every finding and change Most importantly, I will explain each issue and correction step-by-step so you can confidently apply the same process to your remaining projects yourself. Key areas I typically review: ✓ API keys embedded in frontend code ✓ Exposed environment variables ✓ Browser network request leaks ✓ Git history secrets ✓ Public repository exposure ✓ Server-side proxy implementation ✓ Access controls and deployment settings A few questions: 1. Are you using Gemini API keys directly from the frontend today? 2. Is the GitHub repository public or private? 3. Are the Vercel deployments using serverless functions or purely frontend applications? Best Regards, Jemin Sagar
