Production systems,
not demos.
I open production systems that are already carrying business risk and map where they fail first. Independent audits on AWS and Node.js: authorization, reliability, recovery paths.
Request an auditWhat I do
-
Production audits
Five-day map of where a live system fails first.
-
Multi-tenant authorization review
Where tenant isolation actually leaks.
-
AWS infrastructure reconstruction
What the architecture is now, not what the diagram claims.
-
Deployment & rollback analysis
How code reaches prod, and whether it can come back.
-
Recovery-path verification
Backups and restores that have actually been run.
-
AI-system operational review
Failure modes, oversight, and exposure in regulated domains.
Most production backends fail the same few ways. Untested code that works
until it doesn't. Config that drifted from what the README claims.
Credentials in a committed .env. An admin role that was
widened once for a deploy and never narrowed. Backups nobody has ever
restored.
None of it shows up in a demo. All of it shows up when there is a customer on the other end.
Untested code that happens to work is a demo that hasn't failed yet.
Typical audit engagement
- Day 1 System surface mapping
- Day 2 Authorization and infrastructure review
- Day 3 Deployment and recovery-path analysis
- Day 4 Operational risk validation
- Day 5 Findings, blast radius, remediation priorities
Five days in, the output is a written report: the failure map ranked by blast radius, with remediation priorities. Not slides. Not a line-by-line code review. A map of where the system breaks and what being wrong about that would cost.
Request an auditWhat clients usually call me for
- Unstable production systems
- Unclear ownership boundaries
- Infrastructure nobody fully understands
- Authorization drift
- Deployment instability
- Systems that "work" but cannot be trusted
What systems I work in
- SaaS and multi-tenant systems
- AI-assisted products
- Regulated flows
- Payment-adjacent infrastructure
- Async and distributed systems
- AWS-heavy environments
Past first revenue, where an outage now has a name and an invoice attached to it.

What I look for first when I open a production system
I have five days, not to fix a system, but to find where it will fail and what that failure will cost. The order I look in is not a checklist. It is a ranking by blast radius.
