Sound Familiar?
These are the symptoms. We find the disease.
"Our AWS bill keeps growing..."
Cloud spend jumped 5x while the roadmap stood still. We reconcile finance anxiety with engineering reality.
"Releases take forever now..."
Releases now need steering committees and a prayer. We isolate the exact debt that's throttling velocity.
"It crashes under load..."
Every promo or investor demo becomes a stress test. We expose the architectural fault line before it breaks again.

Frequently Asked Questions
What access do you need?
Read-only access to your codebase (GitHub/GitLab), cloud console (AWS/Azure/GCP), and CI/CD pipelines. We never need write access.
Is our code safe?
Absolutely. We sign NDAs, work on secure connections, and never store your code locally. We've worked with fintech and healthcare companies with strict compliance requirements.
What if you don't find anything?
Every audit we run surfaces significant improvement opportunities. If we somehow don't, we'll refund the full amount.
Can you help fix the issues you find?
Yes. After the audit, we can engage on a retainer or project basis to help implement the fixes, or we can coach your team to do it themselves.
What tech stacks do you cover?
We're strongest in Node.js, Python, React, AWS, and modern SaaS architectures. We can also audit most mainstream stacks including Java, PHP, and .NET.
