The 97-day break-in

A routine audit of a production server that had stopped sending its email turned up something worse: a cryptominer had broken in 97 days earlier through a database port left open to the internet, and nothing on the box had noticed. I dated the break-in to the day it happened and swept the server for every other foothold. The hole it came through got closed the same morning, and every credential on the machine was rotated before I logged off.

Result A clean, locked-down server with an alarm that rings if anything like it ever comes back, and backups that leave the building every night, restore-tested.

Service Drive platform

Brought in to rescue a struggling software platform used by car dealerships nationwide, I rebuilt it from the ground up so it could handle far more customers at once without slowing down or falling over, with each dealership's data kept safely separate from the next.

Result A rescued platform that stays fast and stable as it grows, with a clean foundation ready for years of new features.
