What I do
Fixed-scope technical engagements. I go into systems, find what's wrong, and tell you exactly what to do about it. Written report. No retainer.
Based in Mallorca and the UK. Working with clients remotely worldwide.
Book a callAI & Agent Production Audit
AI-assisted builds look convincing. They're not always solid. Before you go live with a system handling sensitive data, real users, or business-critical workflows - find out what you actually have. I review architecture, security, data handling, authentication, integration points, and load behaviour. You get a clear verdict: what's ready, what isn't, and what to fix before you ship.
Good fit for
- →Systems built by an external team or AI-assisted agency that you need to validate before go-live
- →Anything handling sensitive data, financial transactions, or user-facing workflows
- →Teams who need an independent read before signing off on an external build
- →Companies in regulated industries who need documented assurance before deployment
Clarity Audit
From £3,500Know exactly what's broken before you go live. Security review, architecture spot-check, and a dependency vulnerability scan - for smaller builds and MVPs.
Good for
- →MVPs and internal tools
- →AI-assisted codebases
- →Early-stage products
12–18 page written report with fix recommendations and a 45-minute walkthrough call.
Production Audit
From £6,500Production-ready sign-off with a roadmap your team can execute. Full security, architecture, infrastructure, and data-handling review.
Good for
- →Builds handling real users or payments
- →External or AI-assisted builds going live
- →Post-delivery vendor validation
20–25 page report with developer-ready fix specs and a phased remediation roadmap.
Regulated & Investor-Ready
From £9,500Senior technical sign-off for regulated industries and investor due diligence, including compliance mapping and a production readiness scorecard.
Good for
- →FinTech, HealthTech, LegalTech builds
- →Pre-investment technical assessment
- →Complex, multi-repo systems
25–35 page full report plus an executive summary written for investors and the board.
I've run production-readiness audits under GS007 financial assurance standards at Dexus (ASX-listed, ~$50B+ in assets) and data integrity investigations for agriculture SaaS platforms. Most recently, short-engagement go-live audits for AI-assisted codebases.
Scope depends on codebase size and system complexity. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute call - I'll tell you whether it fits and what I'd need to review it properly.
System Diagnostic & Remediation
Something's wrong and nobody can pin it down. Data going missing. Events misfiring. Performance degrading in ways nobody can explain. I come in, go through the logs, trace the failure patterns, and find it. Some issues I fix directly; others I document precisely for your team. Either way, you stop guessing.
Good fit for
- →Data integrity issues - records inconsistent, writes going missing, conflicts you can't trace
- →Event-driven systems with silent failures nobody can reproduce reliably
- →Third-party integrations misfiring in ways the vendor can't explain
- →Performance degrading gradually with no clear cause
How it works
Triage call
You describe what you're seeing. I ask the questions that tell me where to look first.
Investigation
I go in - logs, architecture, execution traces, the works. No assumptions, no guessing.
Findings report
Root cause identified, failure chain mapped, priority fixes documented.
Remediation
Direct fixes where I can deliver them cleanly. Precise handover documentation where the fix belongs to your team.
Diagnosed and resolved a critical data integrity crisis for an agriculture SaaS platform - DynamoDB inconsistencies, cross-application conflicts, lost records. Investigated via logs, implemented optimistic locking, fixed GraphQL mutations, built Python reconciliation scripts.
Diagnostic engagements are scoped after the triage call - complexity varies too much to price blind. Most run 1–2 weeks from £6,000.
Start with a triage callTechnical Due Diligence
Before you write the cheque. Architecture, code quality, security posture, technical debt, team capability, infrastructure - everything an investor or acquirer needs to know before committing. Written for both technical readers and the people making the investment decision.
Good fit for
- →Investors evaluating a target before signing
- →Acquirers who need independent technical assessment
- →Founders preparing for due diligence who want to know what an investor will find
- →Post-acquisition - you've bought something, now you need to know what you actually have
| Type | Timeline | From |
|---|---|---|
| Focused Due Diligence | 1–2 weeks | Starting from £5,000 |
| Full Due Diligence | 2–3 weeks | Starting from £10,000 |
Final price depends on company stage, codebase size, and report requirements. Every engagement starts with a scoping call.
Request a scoping callTechnical audit and compliance assessment at Dexus (ASX-listed, ~$50B+ in assets) - governed under GS007 financial assurance standards. Full architecture, code, and operational risk review.
Architecture & Build
For situations where diagnosis alone isn't enough - where the right call is to fix it, build it right, or rebuild from a clean foundation. Fixed-scope delivery, defined outcome, senior hands throughout.
Good fit for
- →Post-audit remediation where the fix requires building, not just documenting
- →Greenfield architecture for teams who need the technical decisions made correctly before they start
- →Critical path unblocking - 2–4 week sprint to get a stalled project moving again
Rescued a .NET migration six months overdue at Lancom Technology - back to billable within a month. Zero-to-pre-seed SaaS build, architecture through to MVP delivery.
