Where I've worked

I make sure software is built, shipped, and tested so attackers can't break it.

Protect your revenue and your customers' trust

Attackers don't care how big you are. I look at your product the way they do, find what could cost you money or customers, and fix it before it becomes a crisis.

What's at stake

  • Customer data leak

    Exposed records cost you customers, legal trouble, and your reputation.

  • Account takeover

    Attackers log in as your users and drain balances, points, or data.

  • Payment & logic fraud

    Flaws in checkout, coupons, or limits become direct financial losses.

  • Downtime & ransomware

    Every hour offline means lost sales and broken promises to customers.

  • Third-party & supply chain

    One vulnerable library or vendor can become your breach.

  • Failed security reviews

    Enterprise customers ask for proof. Without it, the deal stalls.

What you get

  • Fewer surprises

    Risks found and fixed before attackers find them.

  • Clear decisions

    Findings ranked by business impact, in plain language for your team and leadership.

  • Faster deals

    Evidence that helps you pass customer security reviews.

  • Full confidentiality

    NDA-friendly. Findings are shared only with you.

How it works

  1. 01

    Understand your business

    What you sell, what you store, and what would hurt most.

  2. 02

    Map the attack surface

    Apps, APIs, cloud, and the people and vendors around them.

  3. 03

    Test like an attacker

    Real attack paths against what matters, not a generic checklist.

  4. 04

    Fix, verify, retest

    Clear fixes with your developers, then proof they hold.

Not sure where you're exposed?

Tell me about your product and I'll point out where the real risks are.

Talk about your risks

A product security engineer with a developer's background

I came to security from software development, so I read code, not just responses, and understand what the developer intended.

I work on both sides: shipping software and attacking it.
