Find the gap before someone else does

Most businesses find out their software has a security gap after something's already gone wrong. I help businesses in Dubai find and fix those gaps first — through penetration testing, secure code review and infrastructure hardening built by someone who also builds software.

What I offer

Four ways I test and harden your systems

Testing that targets where developers actually introduce risk — not a generic automated scan with a long list of theoretical findings.

Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing

Testing web applications, mobile apps and APIs for common vulnerabilities — injection flaws, broken authentication, insecure data exposure — with a clear report, severity ratings and fixes.

Secure Code Review

Review of your codebase for security anti-patterns — hardcoded secrets, unsafe input handling, weak session management — before those issues make it into production.

Infrastructure & Cloud Security Hardening

Review of server and cloud configurations for misconfigurations, exposed ports, weak access controls and outdated dependencies, hardened against common attack paths.

Security Audits & Compliance Readiness

Structured security audits ahead of compliance requirements or client due diligence, translating findings into a prioritized, practical remediation plan.

Representative work

The kind of problems I get called in for

Three patterns that come up most often with Dubai businesses — illustrative of the scope, not a fixed menu.

A client security questionnaire lands

A prospective enterprise client asks for a pentest report or audit before signing, and none exists yet.

An app shipped without ever being tested

Live in production and handling real user data, but never assessed for authentication, injection or access-control flaws.

Legacy infrastructure of unknown exposure

Servers and cloud accounts configured years ago, with nobody currently able to say what's actually exposed to the internet.

How it works

Five stages, every engagement

The same structure every time, so you always know what's happening and what's next.

  1. 01

    Scope

    Systems, boundaries and testing depth agreed upfront, so nothing is tested by surprise.

  2. 02

    Test

    Manual and tool-assisted testing targeted at how your specific stack tends to fail.

  3. 03

    Report

    Findings with severity ratings and reproduction steps, not a raw scanner printout.

  4. 04

    Remediate

    A prioritized fix list, with support implementing the changes if needed.

  5. 05

    Verify

    A re-test of critical findings to confirm they're actually fixed, not just closed on paper.

Why me

Someone who builds software, testing yours

You work directly with the person running the assessment, not a rotating team handing off a checklist. Because I also build software, I know where developers actually introduce risk — and test for those specifically.

FAQ

Common questions

What's actually included in a penetration test?

Testing of your web application, mobile app or API for common vulnerabilities such as injection flaws, broken authentication and insecure data exposure, followed by a clear report with severity ratings and specific fixes, not a generic automated scan output.

How often should we run a security assessment?

At minimum before any major release or compliance deadline, and ideally annually for actively developed applications, since new features and dependencies introduce new risk over time.

Do you test mobile apps as well as web applications?

Yes. Application-layer testing covers both web and mobile apps, along with the APIs they depend on, since vulnerabilities often live in how the client and backend communicate.

What's the difference between a security audit and a penetration test?

A penetration test actively tries to exploit vulnerabilities in a live application. A security audit is broader, reviewing configuration, access controls and processes against a standard or client requirement, often to prepare for compliance or due diligence.

What happens after we get the findings report?

Findings are prioritized by severity and practicality to fix, not left as a long list of theoretical risks. Remediation support and a re-test of critical findings can be included so issues are confirmed fixed, not just documented.

Not sure how exposed you really are?

Tell me what you're running and what's driving the need — a client requirement, a pre-launch check, or a general review — and I'll get back to you with a clear next step.
