Code & architecture review
For AI-assisted codebases, critical systems, and architecture decisions before release.
We look for code that looks plausible but does not behave correctly.

New: Starter Security Audit for your vibe-coded project · $299 fixed
Code audits · AI code review · Bug bounty validation
Someone senior should read your AI-generated code before it ships.
Independent review for teams building with AI coding agents. We catch plausible-but-wrong logic, weak tests, and architectural drift before production.

Example findingHighValidated
Retry wrapper can charge a customer twice
payments/charge.ts- await charge(order);+ await retry(() => charge(order), 3);- Why it matters
charge()is not idempotent. If the provider accepts a request but the response times out, the retry bills the customer again. The new test mocks the client, so it cannot catch this.- Fix
- Send an idempotency key derived from
order.idand test a timeout after acceptance.
Services
Review before you ship. Validate before you pay.
AI coding agents accelerate delivery. They do not replace the senior engineer who checks correctness, failure modes, tests, and design before the code ships.
Bug bounty triage & validation
Separate real vulnerabilities from noise.
Independent triage of bug bounty reports and vulnerability disclosures, with a clear technical assessment for engineering and security teams.
Checks
Every engagement is led by a senior engineer who owns the review and signs off on every finding.
Starter package
Starter Security Audit for your vibe-coded project.
A senior security check for apps built with AI tools such as Lovable, Bolt, or Cursor, before real users and payments reach them.

Request the starter auditSend the repository link and stack through the contact form. We confirm the scope fits before you pay; larger codebases are scoped individually. This is a focused check of the most common failure points, not a guarantee that the app is free of vulnerabilities.
- Scope
- One app or repository, up to 20,000 lines of code
- Common AI-builder stacks: Next.js or React with Supabase or Firebase
- Checks
- Deliverable
- A written report with prioritized findings and how to fix each one.
Approach
From scope to validated findings.
AI agents expand the investigation across code, specifications, and tests. Senior human judgment determines which findings survive validation and what reaches you.
- 01
Scope
Share the repository, relevant documentation, and the questions or risks you care about.
- 02
Review
Senior-led review traces assumptions, architecture, tests, and failure modes. AI-assisted investigation helps explore the codebase in parallel.
- 03
Validate
Potential findings are reproduced, challenged, and checked for real impact before they reach you.
- 04
Report
You receive concise findings with evidence, severity, confidence, and practical remediation guidance.

Testimonials
Trusted on work where the details matter.
“Andrei was one of the engineers we could really rely on. He brings strong technical judgment, takes ownership of difficult problems, and has a sharp eye for correctness and quality. He was someone we trusted on complex technical work where getting the details right really mattered.”
“Andrei is a very strong engineer and genuinely easy to work with. He is good at getting deep into complex systems, identifying the important issues, and turning them into practical, well-reasoned solutions. He also communicates his thinking clearly, which makes technical reviews much more effective.”
