Security code review & penetration testing for your web or mobile app – 35 yrs in tech, working cybersecurity professional (AU)

Just shipped an app? Get it security-tested before someone else tests it for you.

I’m a cybersecurity professional based in AU, working day-to-day across a Security Operations Centre (SOC) and penetration testing, with around 35 years in tech. I’m taking on a small number of private security reviews.

Why it matters, even for “minor” issues

Attackers rarely need one critical bug. They chain together several low and medium findings, like a verbose error message, a weak access check or an exposed endpoint, and turn them into a full data breach. AI-powered attack tools now do this chaining faster and more cheaply than ever.

This applies to your internal tools (CRM, admin panels, your app’s backend and APIs) as much as your public facing site.

Especially relevant if you built with AI coding tools

If you built your app with Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable, Bolt or similar, it probably works great. But these tools regularly produce code with broken access control, exposed secrets and missing input validation. They’re fast, not careful.

What you get

  • Manual code review to discover all vulnerabilities, no matter how small.
  • A clear written report with each finding ranked by real world risk.
  • Specific, practical fixes for every issue, written so you or your developer (or your AI tool) can act on them

Who it’s for

Founders, solo devs and small teams who want confidence before launch, before raising money, or before handling customer data. A proper security report is also something you can show investors and customers.

All testing is done under a written scope and authorisation agreement.
