Keeping the software you ship compliant is never-ending work most engineers hate - and every hour on it is an hour off the roadmap.
Is staying compliant stealing time from shipping features?
That’s where I come in. I take it off your engineers - matching your practice to your published policy, keeping it true, and handing you the evidence to defend it. Specialists doing daily what your team would rather not - so they stay on the features only they can build.
See where you stand, close the gap, then keep it closed - handled outside your backlog.
Where does real practice drift from the policy you signed?
A short, sharp review of how your shipping practice compares to your published SLAs - so you know exactly what needs doing before it blocks a release or a deal. No team time spent finding out.
Handled outside your product backlog.
A fixed-fee project against your real deadline. I close the current gap, then build the automation that regenerates your compliance documentation - SBOM, human-signed VEX and policy-SLA evidence - from every build. Your engineers never own it: they ship, the roadmap keeps moving, and the evidence assembles itself.
The CVE triage your team keeps getting pulled into - owned.
Ongoing CVE triage and patch decisions - signed off by a person, not a bot - fed into the automation from step 2, so the documentation stays current and your engineers never get pulled off the roadmap to chase findings. Cheaper and more continuous than a full-time hire.
Coverage and SLA depth scale to your estate.
Twenty-five years in software engineering, DevOps, SRE, and release engineering at Pivotal, VMware, Shopify, and Mechanical Orchard. I work specifically on the supply-chain side: reproducible builds, SBOM generation, dependency provenance, CVE remediation pipelines. Lately I’ve been exploring where agent-assisted workflows can make the repetitive parts of SBOM analysis, vulnerability triage, and remediation evidence cheaper and faster: the patient, tedious work that usually makes engineers want to quit. Based in Dublin.
Pick a slot for a policy gap review - a short, fixed-fee read of where your real practice stands against the policy you’ve published, and what it would take to close the gap.
