Flagship
A 360° tech audit is a 15-hour, fixed-scope review of a startup's architecture, security, delivery process, team, and infrastructure costs, delivered as a scored report and a 90-day roadmap.
I take one per quarter, alongside my full-time work as co-founder and CTO of Togethrust, a French-regulated fintech. The cap is the point: it keeps the work senior and the attention undivided.
Who it's for
Any software company. The five areas below apply whatever you build; the regulated end is simply where my background goes deepest.
What's covered
Five areas, reviewed in one pass, so the findings connect to each other instead of arriving as five separate opinions.
What you get
Each of the five areas scored, with the evidence behind the score. Written to be forwarded to a board or an investor without translation.
What to fix first, what can wait, and what to leave alone. Ordered by risk and effort, not by what is most interesting to build.
One working session with the founding team to walk the findings, argue with them, and agree on what happens next.
How it works
Fixed scope and a hard time-cap. I scope the depth to fit the box rather than letting the box grow.
You provide repository, infrastructure, and documentation access at the start. Time spent waiting for access comes out of the 15 hours.
I work through the five areas, reading code and configuration directly and interviewing the people who own them.
Scores, evidence, and the 90-day roadmap, delivered in writing before we meet so you read it without me in the room.
A 90-minute session with the founding team. After that the engagement is closed, unless you ask for something more.
Background
18+ years in engineering across 5 countries, most of it on regulated banking infrastructure: trading systems and core banking. Today, CTO of an ACPR-supervised fintech. Past clients include BNP Paribas, Société Générale, Crédit Agricole, Desjardins, and EDF.
Roughly 180K CHF per year, from right-sizing infrastructure and moving non-critical workloads to spot instances.
CI/CD pipeline overhaul and process streamlining on a regulated platform.
Measured after a full rebuild of the product, as co-founder and CTO.
Audit case studies are published with client approval as engagements complete.
