For Small & Medium Business

Your application is your business. Treat it that way.

Slow pages cost you customers. A security breach costs you everything. I help small and medium businesses stay fast, secure, and confident in their software.

The problems that sneak up on you

Most SMB web applications weren't built badly — they were built quickly, and then grew. Features were added. The team changed. Nobody ever had time to go back and fix the things that "weren't urgent."

Then one day the site is slow. Or a form breaks. Or worse — someone finds a way in.

I come in as an outside set of eyes. I've seen these patterns hundreds of times. I know where to look, what to prioritize, and how to explain it to both your technical team and your leadership.

Signs you might need a review

"Pages are getting slower every month and we don't know why."

"We're handling customer data but haven't had a security audit."

"Our developer left and nobody fully understands the codebase."

"We're on an old PHP/framework version and nervous about upgrading."

"A competitor got breached. We want to make sure we're not next."

What I do for businesses

Targeted assessments with written findings and clear next steps.

Performance Review

I profile your application to find exactly what's making it slow — whether that's database queries, missing indexes, unoptimized assets, or infrastructure configuration.

  • Slow query analysis and N+1 identification
  • Caching strategy recommendations
  • Server and hosting optimization
  • Before/after benchmarks to measure improvement

Security Review

A thorough audit of your application's code and infrastructure — examining authentication, data handling, input validation, access controls, and more.

  • OWASP Top 10 vulnerability assessment
  • Dependency and package auditing
  • Authentication and session management review
  • Prioritized remediation report

Code Health & Technical Debt Audit

Understanding where your codebase stands — its maintainability, test coverage, and upgrade risk — before you hire more engineers or commit to new features.

  • Codebase structure and architecture assessment
  • Framework and PHP version upgrade planning
  • Test coverage gaps and risk areas

Ongoing Retainer Support

Some businesses need a trusted technical resource available on an ongoing basis — for advice, reviews, or hands-on work when needed. Not a full-time hire, but always available.

  • Monthly retainer with agreed hours
  • Priority response for urgent issues
  • Quarterly code and security reviews included

What you get at the end

Every engagement delivers clear, actionable output — not a vague list of "best practices."

Written Report

A clear, prioritized document you can share with your team and refer back to. Findings are ranked by severity and business impact.

Walkthrough Call

A live review session so you can ask questions, understand the findings, and decide together what to address first.

30-Day Follow-up

A follow-up check-in to see how remediation is going and answer any questions that came up during implementation.
