Security and reliability engineering for B2B software teams.

I specialise in getting B2B SaaS teams enterprise-ready. I remediate security and reliability gaps, ungoverned AI and compliance exposure that stalls enterprise deals and investor due diligence.

We work with

Technical risk is blocking your growth.

You're shipping fast. But your security gaps are failing enterprise questionnaires, technical debt keeps surfacing in due diligence, and nobody's governing your AI features. It's costing you real deals and real funding.

  • Your security gaps are failing enterprise questionnaires
  • 🔒 Production reliability risk is surfacing in enterprise and investor due diligence
  • 📈 AI features are live with no governance and no access controls
  • Nobody senior is owning architecture or security decisions

14-Day Satisfaction Guarantee

If you're not happy after the first 14 days, you don't pay. No questions asked. I'm confident enough to put money behind it.

Things people ask before the first call.

A free 20-minute call. I'll ask about your stack, your pain points, and where technical risk might be costing you. No prep needed. By the end we'll both know if it makes sense to work together.

A one month deep-dive across your architecture, security, and AI risk surface. You get a Board-Ready Technical Risk Report: prioritised findings, concrete remediation steps, and a document you can hand straight to investors or auditors.

Both. I personally lead the architecture and security decisions, and I handle the hands-on remediation, hardening, and infrastructure work. You get senior guidance that actually ships.

We cover prompt injection vulnerabilities, data leakage through model inputs/outputs, model access control and authentication, AI supply chain risks (third-party models and APIs), and governance frameworks for responsible AI deployment.

The 14-day satisfaction guarantee means you only pay if you're happy. No lock-in contracts, 30 days' notice to cancel. I cap the number of clients I take on so I can actually focus on your problems.

B2B SaaS companies, Seed to Series A, 10–50 engineers, selling to enterprise or regulated buyers. If you're losing deals to security questionnaires, prepping for due diligence, or shipping AI without governance, you're exactly who I built this for.
