Know What You're Working With
Whether you've inherited a codebase, you're about to make a large investment in an existing product, or you're just not sure why things keep breaking, a proper technical audit gives you a clear picture of where things stand and what needs attention.
What I Look At
Code quality and maintainability. Architecture decisions and whether they still make sense for where the product is today. Database design and query performance. Security vulnerabilities and common misconfigurations. Third-party dependencies and their update status. Infrastructure and deployment setup. Test coverage and whether tests actually catch the right things.
Performance Audit
If your application is slow, I find out why. This means profiling actual requests, analysing database queries, reviewing caching strategy, and checking frontend performance metrics. I give you specific issues with specific fixes, not generic recommendations.
Security Audit
I check for common vulnerabilities — injection flaws, authentication issues, exposed sensitive data, misconfigured permissions, outdated dependencies with known CVEs — and anything specific to your application's threat model.
The Deliverable
You get a written report that's actually readable — not 200 pages of auto-generated scanner output. It lists findings by severity, explains the risk of each one, and gives concrete recommendations for how to fix it. I walk you through it so nothing gets misunderstood.
