Recover a Troubled Project or Audit Codebase Health

Stalled delivery? Mysterious deadlocks? Security gaps you cannot quantify? I deliver a written report with prioritised fixes, a remediation roadmap, and executable next steps. Typical turnaround: two weeks. If we proceed to a build, the audit fee is credited.

Problems this solves

• EF Core LINQ generating N+1 waterfall queries that degrade under load

• Client-side role checks allowing privilege escalation with browser tools

• Concurrency deadlocks in high-contention database tables with no predicate strategy

• Build pipeline accumulating warnings — no quality gate exists

What you get

✓ EF Core LINQ and index performance optimisation assessment

✓ Server-side authorisation and impersonation boundary audit

✓ Concurrency predicate and row-version remediation plan

✓ Zero-build-warning pipeline certification roadmap

Who it is for

Teams with an existing .NET codebase that is slow, unstable, or failing security review. Also suitable for organisations preparing for a compliance audit, due diligence, or a planned platform investment who need an independent technical assessment before committing.

How it works

1. Initial review: I inspect your repository, database schema, LINQ queries, authorisation middleware, and CI pipeline configuration.

2. Deep analysis: I trace N+1 patterns, identify missing concurrency predicates, test privilege boundaries, and catalogue every build warning.

3. Written report: You receive a document listing every issue with severity, root cause, and a specific fix. Prioritised so your team can tackle the highest-impact items first.

4. Optional build: If you want me to implement the fixes, the audit fee is credited toward the engagement. Fixed scope, fixed price.

Outcome: every authorisation decision made server-side at resource level, and an impersonation stack that cannot cross a tenant boundary and unwinds one audited step at a time.
