The short version of how assessments, automation, and delivery work.
Vulnerability assessments, targeted penetration tests, secure architecture reviews, API testing, and pragmatic hardening guidance. The focus is on validated issues with clear remediation.
I integrate focused checks into CI/CD and developer workflows, including dependency signals, configuration checks, baseline scanning, and guardrails that reduce regressions.
webscan.dev provides quick, non-intrusive posture signals around areas such as TLS, headers, and public files. Deeper testing pairs those signals with a scoped manual assessment.
Yes. I can build custom checks, internal tools, and automation around a specific stack, particularly when an off-the-shelf product does not fit the delivery workflow.
Yes. The aim is to work with the tools and release process already in place so that security findings remain understandable, actionable, and maintainable.
