Audits and consulting

A second pair of eyes on the architecture, performance and security of your product. Technical audits, rescue & refactor for projects in crisis, tech-lead mentoring and technical due diligence.

/* what_we_do */

App code audit — what we actually do

Second pair of eyes on architecture, performance, security.

We audit existing products: code quality, architecture, performance, security, DevOps and CI/CD. We help in-house teams pick the right stack, design new product architecture or rescue a project after a less successful first attempt (rescue & refactor). We do continuous code review, tech lead mentoring, technical debt assessment and migration roadmaps. We deliver a report with concrete recommendations and an implementation plan — not just slides.

Mobile app audit

Android and iOS apps have problems of their own that a generic code review will not catch. In a mobile app audit we check the three areas that most often cost the owner money.

> Security

  • On-device data storage: Keystore, Keychain, encryption
  • API keys and secrets in the code, repository and builds
  • Network communication: TLS, certificate pinning, token handling
  • Permissions and store declarations: Data safety, privacy manifest
  • Dependencies with known vulnerabilities, guided by OWASP MASVS

> Build times

  • Gradle setup: build cache, configuration cache, parallelism
  • Migrating from kapt to KSP and cleaning up plugins
  • Modularizing the project for incremental builds
  • Xcode build settings and SPM/CocoaPods dependencies
  • Caching and parallel jobs in the CI pipeline

> Slow app performance

  • App startup time (cold start)
  • UI jank and slow frames
  • Memory leaks and excessive battery drain
  • ANRs and crashes from Android Vitals and Crashlytics
  • Redundant network calls and missing caching

You get a written report with issues ranked by their impact on users and the cost of fixing them. Not sure you need a full audit? Start with a free app analysis →

Which engagement format fits?

Three paths depending on where your product is — from a one-shot audit, through rescuing a project in crisis, to long-term support for your team.

// 01

Technical audit (one-shot)

Sprint 1-2 weeks / written report

A short, focused audit: code quality, architecture, security (OWASP, secrets, supply chain), performance (Core Web Vitals, databases, cloud costs), DevOps and CI/CD. We deliver a written report with concrete recommendations, a priority map and fix-time estimates. Ideal before an investment, an acquisition or as a baseline before a major refactor.

Best for

Due diligence, investment calls, baseline

// 02

Rescue & refactor

Engagement 4-8 weeks / hands-on

We step into a project in crisis — long release cycles, frequent regressions, low team morale, business pressure. Diagnosis in week one, an action plan with priorities and metrics, and in parallel: stabilizing what's breaking and rolling out processes (tests, code review, monitoring). Goal: project back on production rails in 2–3 sprints.

Best for

Project stuck, money bleeding, technical crisis

// 03

Retainer / mentoring

Async + monthly call / 4-16h/month

A long-term partnership with in-house teams. Weekly code reviews, tech-lead mentoring, ad-hoc architectural consultations, PR reviews for key decisions, a second pair of eyes before production deploys. No rigid milestones — flexible cooperation matched to the team's pace and project load.

Best for

Tech-lead support, continuous code review
