Organizations don't fail because they lack technology. They fail because security weaknesses remain undiscovered until attackers exploit them.

When something on your site, email, or infrastructure is broken or compromised and nobody can tell you why, that's the work I do. I'm a solo cybersecurity and web infrastructure consultant with 10+ years of hands-on experience...a forensic troubleshooter for web, email, DNS, ad-account, and access-control failures. Whether it's a hacked site, marketing or transactional email that won't reach the inbox, or systems behaving in ways nobody can explain, I trace problems back to their root cause rather than patching symptoms. Most of my clients are small business owners who've already tried the obvious fixes and need someone who can actually dig into the details. I work directly on the systems( WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, custom application stacks, and self-managed VPS environments on) rather than handing the work to a third party. That's a deliberate choice...I own the work end to end. Where I'm usually brought in: - WordPress malware removal and incident response — SocGholish/FakeUpdates, Magecart skimmers, SEO spam injection, card-testing and form-spam attacks - Email deliverability and authentication — SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, and inbox-placement diagnosis across Gmail, Microsoft 365, and others - Managed VPS hosting, migrations, and performance — Nginx, PHP-FPM, MariaDB, Redis, Cloudflare, CrowdSec, plus plugin audits, cache conflicts, and production-cutover validation - DNS configuration and forensics - Ad-account and access-control investigations — Google Ads/MCC compromise, click and lead fraud, tracking abuse, rogue or retained admin access, and OAuth/login review - Shopify and hosted-platform security — malicious redirects, third-party app and script review, blacklist and false-positive diagnosis Where it matters, I turn messy logs and partial evidence into a formal post-incident report you can hand to an insurer, agency, vendor, or counsel, so not just a fix but a defensible account of what happened and why. You'll get clear explanations written so you can actually follow them, documentation of what was done, what to watch for going forward, and anything else you'd want or need. I'd rather you walk away understanding your own systems than dependent on me.
