Why both matters

Most breaches exploit application vulnerabilities. Most developers don't understand security frameworks. I bridge that gap.

Problems I solve every day

Legacy codebase paralysis

The problem: Your PHP application was built by developers who left years ago. Documentation is sparse. Every change feels like defusing a bomb.

The cost: Your team spends 60% of their time on maintenance. Competitors ship weekly while you're stuck.

The solution: Systematic modernisation without the rewrite. Incremental risk reduction. Your codebase becomes an asset again.

Scaling nightmares

The problem: Page loads are creeping up. Database queries are multiplying. Your cloud bill grows faster than revenue.

The cost: Every 100ms of latency costs you conversions. Scaling vertically is getting expensive.

The solution: Performance archaeology. Profiling, bottleneck identification, and targeted optimisation that makes scale sustainable.

Security as an afterthought

The problem: Security reviews happen once a year, if at all. Your dev team ships features, not security. Vulnerabilities accumulate.

The cost: One breach can cost you everything. Reputation, customers, compliance. The debt compounds daily.

The solution: Security integrated into your workflow. Automated checks, secure coding practices, and a team that thinks about security by default.

Deployment anxiety

The problem: Deployments are manual rituals. "It works on my machine" is a daily phrase. Rollbacks are prayers.

The cost: Releases take hours instead of minutes. Downtime is expected. Your team fears Fridays.

The solution: Proper CI/CD pipelines. Containerised, reproducible environments. Deployments become boring—as they should be.
